Staying in Touch With Hiring Managers – Work In Sports Podcast - a podcast by Brian Clapp - Work in Sports

Hey everybody, I’m Brian Clapp, VP of Content and Engaged Learning at WorkInSports.com and this is the Work In Sports podcast…Just a reminder for everyone, we have this incredibly robust online learning platform called The Work In Sports Academy -- 4 modules full of articles, videos, worksheets, podcast episodes and more. The course teaches you hor to be an expert at getting hired in sports.YOu can find all the details at workinsports.com/adademyBUT the reason I am bringing this up is that during this crazy pandemic where we are all locked at home, I wanted to offer up something special to all of you. I created an abridged version of the Academy courses, called Academy Essentials… and it’s 100% free. Register as a user at WorkInSports.com with either a free account, or a premium membership, and you will get the Academy Essentials course for FREE.Pretty cool right?Alright so let’s talk about the sports industry!If you missed it I posted an episode on Friday on how the sports industry will function during high unemployment -- we are headed towards a period of high unemployment, many of you have never lived through that, so I brought up some strategies and expectations you should all have for this new scenario we’ll all be facing.I suggest you listen, and be prepared for what is to come. Coming up on Wednesday is my interview with Dan Kaufmann, Director of Corporate Partnerships with the New York Jets - it’s a great interview, and the LAST of my pre-corona interviews!I interviewed Dan prior to the breakout, he’s an incredible interview, but we speak nothing of corona, so you’ll need to take a break from corona talk for 40 minutes on Wednesday, I think you can hack it. Dan and I did talk last week, and for the NFL, business is still moving forward, he is still meeting with clients virtually and talking on the phone -- he, like Greg Hylton a few weeks back, said many teams in the NFL are still hiring staff...so that is a place to look if you are in the market. Of course, it can all be found on our site, WorkInSports.com the #1 job board for the sports industry. Just being completely transparent… prior to the corona outbreak, we had about 25,000 active sports jobs on our site. Now, we’re down to 10,776 -- it is a smaller pool, but that’s still a lot of opportunities. Our friends at Open Sponsorship -- former podcast guest Ishveen Anand’s company - they are hiring. I’m seeing jobs from Red Bull, Turner Sports, NBC Sports, CAA, Bismarck Larks baseball team -- and a bunch of other orgs, some of which you have heard of, others you may not have known existed. That’s what WorkInSports is here for -- we find all the jobs, thousands you may never have even heard of, and put them in one convenient spot for you. ASM global, Sommer Sports, Hurrah, Altitude sports… there are so many sports employers out there and these are just some of the employers on the first page of our site, posted fresh!Alright, today’s question comes from Jasmine T…Jasmine is a member of our private Facebook group where she posed this question. YOu can join the group too, search Facebook for Work In Sports podcast, then answers a few quick questions and I let you in. Don’t answer the questions, I don’t let you in. It’s pretty simple. Ok, Jasmine’s questions: “For those of us that were in the interview process before all of this happened and the company is now under a hiring freeze, what would you recommend doing? What is the best way to keep in touch with the hiring manager? I'm trying to stay relevant so that I'm remembered when the hiring freeze is over!”Jasmine great question and I’m going to try and take it in multiple directions to help various people out in a similar scenario.This is a very real scenario, many people were in the process,
