A Company First Approach to your Sports Job Search – Work in Sports podcast - a podcast by Brian Clapp - Work in Sports

Is a company first approach to your job search a better strategy for you? We investigate!Hey it’s Brian, welcome to a Monday edition of the Work in Sports podcast, brought to you this week by the online master’s degree in sport management at the University of FloridaThe University of Florida program has three in-demand specializations - I love this because you can choose a program that fits you and you know what you are going to get, no surprises, no generic education - at University of Florida you’re going to specialize in Athlete Development, High-Performance Coaching, or Sport Law An optional Graduate Certificate in Sport Event Management focusing on the challenges and opportunities involved in organizing Olympic-level competitions as well as regional events.That sounds cool I would definitely get the graduate certificate. See that’s how I approach these programs if you read what they offer and find yourself thinking “that sounds cool” you are on the right track.Also, don't go thinking that an online program lacks the personal touch, the UF program, GO Gators, offers personalized one on one career coaching services - so you get the benefits of online coursework and the personal touch of a career coach.

Hi, everybody, I’m Brian Clapp Director of Content for WorkinSports.com and this is the WorkinSports Podcast…Before we get into this week’s question, a quick update on a few things. I am getting very very close to offering up our online course directed to all of you aspiring sports people. I’ve shared a ton of career-focused advice in this podcast platform and our blog, our private Facebook page, and more over the years, but this is incredibly unique.I’ve put all my best stuff together in one online course - there are written articles, downloadable worksheets and checklists, exclusive video segments, audio files, and quizzes and assignments to keep you on track. This course is insane and I’ve put my all into it. The cool thing too -- once you purchase you have lifetime access.Think about that for a second, you take the course you learn so much you get yourself primed and ready for the industry. Let’s say you get your first internship and you review all of my content on nailing your internship...then a year later you are updating your resume and you go back to the course to refresh, 10 years from now you are back in the market for a job and you want to review interviewing techniques and you review that.   This course isn’t going to be static, I will constantly update it, and you will have lifetime access to all the information. You’ll be part of a special community dedicated to mastering the art of working in the sports industry.And if you are listening and you are a professor, we have group rates so you could sign up your entire class each semester, like a cooler more important textbook, and they’ll have access for life. Heck, your entire department could use different segments of the course in their curriculum. As one professor told me after I spoke in one of their classes -- this information is life-changing for my students. And in the coming weeks...it’ll be available to all of you. There are 4 modules, *gaining the right experience*building and maintaining your network*Mastering your resume, cover letter, and personal brand*Interviewing for jobs and internshipsHere’s the deal - you’ll be able to buy individual modules for just $39 -- or you can buy all four for $99.And like I said if you are a professor - group rates for your students, it gets even cheaper so let’s talk. And if you are going to be at NASSM the North American Society for Sports Management conference later this month in New Orleans… so will I, so let’s chat face to face!Alright,
