There are many directions you can take a career in sports management, but those options can be overwhelming when deciding where your passion lies in the industry. That is the case for Nasheen in Minnesota, who is looking for career clarity from the WorkInSports Podcast:“Hey Brian, I am just finishing up my junior year of college, and I feel like I am having a bit of a panic attack. I still don't know what I want to do with my career, and life is right around the corner. I listen to the experts on your podcast and think – how did they even know Partnership Activation or Sponsorship Sales was a thing to pursue? I'm feeling lost – any guidance you can provide?”Finding the Right Sports Management Career Path for YouWorkInSports is all about making your passion your career. Not every aspect of the sports business will appeal to you, and that's okay. One effective method Brian has found is to conduct a self-analysis of your traits and look at career options that are a natural fit. For Brian, those traits are extroversion and being comfortable speaking to people, and he ended up working as a sports TV producer (and now hosts this podcast!). Since loving sports is why you listen to the podcast and visit WorkInSports, see if your qualities and interests align with categories such as:CoachingFitness/RecreationSales/Business DevelopmentMedia/CreativeMarketing/CommunicationsTechnology/Data Analysis Someone extroverted may be more inclined towards sports jobs in sales or communications, while an introverted type can find their niche in data analysis.Listen to the full episode to learn more about how to find a job in sports that's right for you.

Since the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, the way people work has dramatically shifted, with companies increasingly offering some form of work-from-home jobs. While the sports industry is somewhat insulated from this trend, given the need to be present at events, remote sports jobs are available. Jared in Portland, Oregon, has enjoyed the shift to remote work and is looking for advice on finding work-from-home sports jobs from the WorkInSports Podcast:“Hey Brian – I love working remote. I know it doesn't work for everyone, but for me, it is a dream scenario. I know most of us HAD to do it during COVID, but now a lot of us WANT to do it. Is this an option in the sports industry, and if so, how do I find these jobs and get them?”Finding Remote Sports JobsAccording to a Stanford study, 13% of full-time employees had fully remote work-from-home jobs in January 2023. As of May 8, 497 (2.3%) of the 22,000 openings on WorkInSports were completely remote sports jobs nationwide, indicating an uphill climb in obtaining one compared to other industries. Bear in mind that most full-time roles in the sports industry require an on-site presence. However, organizations are increasingly allowing a hybrid setup to offer flexibility and recruit talent.

Putting together a compelling resume is hard work, especially if you are following best practices like customizing your resume for each application after analyzing a job description. A good resume includes a mix of the hard skills you possess that align with the technical aspects of the job, and soft skills that reflect the kind of worker you will be on a day-to-day basis. Those soft skills are the topic of Jameel's question for the WorkInSports Podcast:“Hey Brian – I'm a college junior and a big fan of the show. I've been listening since my freshman year and have learned a ton from you. I'm a true super user, subscribed on YouTube, download every podcast episode, follow every social media channel AND I'm a member of WorkinSports.com. You're my guy. "I've got a question for you – my professors keep talking about showing off your soft skills, but I'm not sure I know how to do that. Can you explain? I feel like you explain things better than some of my profs.”How to Show Soft SkillsAs mentioned above, hard skills are the tangible abilities you have to do the job you are applying for. Showcasing those skills is pretty straightforward. If you want to be a graphic designer, you need to be proficient in Photoshop. Someone working in public relations needs to know how to write a press release. A business operations manager needs to know budgeting and finance.Soft skills, such as communication, leadership, and organization, are the traits that display how you work and learn. Since they are more nuanced skills, promoting them in a resume can be trickier than hard skills.Showcasing soft skills effectively requires checking job descriptions for what a company is searching for. If the description says they are looking for someone who can handle multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment, you need to showcase your ability to do so with a bullet in your resume (Ex: Published five time-sensitive articles within deadline per week).Your cover letter is an important place to elaborate on your soft skills as well?. If you were a student-athlete in college, you can go into detail showcasing your time management skills (Ex: I maintained a 3.5 GPA while juggling a rigorous practice/competitive schedule), or you can expand on how you've learned the value of teamwork from literally being on a team. Make sure the cover letter doesn't simply regurgitate your resume in paragraph form; it is another chance to sell yourself as the type of person an organization needs to hire.Learn more about soft skills by listening to the full podcast episode.

The COVID-19 pandemic took a toll on everyone in 2020, with its effects lingering today. As with many facets of society , such as financially (both before and since the pandemic), it did even more damage to the lives and lifespans of Black and Hispanic communities.Addressing our society's disparate impacts on minority groups is the core of the mission of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs. One of the fastest-growing fields since 2020, DEI job postings increased 123% between May and September 2020. That trend carried over into the sports industry, particularly with college athletics jobs, where athletic departments have created positions earmarked for DEI on their senior staff. The WorkInSports Podcast spoke with one staff member, Dr. Christopher Brown (now commissioner of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association), during his tenure as the University of Delaware's Senior Associate Athletic Director for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We discuss:• The effectiveness of the NFL's Rooney Rule, which requires teams to interview at least one minority candidate for a head coach or coordinator position• The mission of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs• The sports industry's current level of inclusionEnjoy the full episode for Dr. Brown's full synopsis of the state of DEI in the sports industry.

With the end of the 2022 calendar year fast approaching, the WorkInSports Podcast is bringing back some of its most impactful sports career advice from the past 12 months to help you start your job search with confidence in 2023.The sports betting industry has exploded since the federal ban on sports gambling was lifted in 2018. Americans wagered $52.7 billion on sports in 2021, and with that amount of money flowing in, jobs to manage and grow the industry have followed.As newsrooms at traditional media outlets downsized over the past decade (which was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic), laid-off journalists found they could use their talents to transition seamlessly into sports betting content jobs. For example, in 2017, iconic college football announcer Brent Musburger launched the Vegas Stats and Information Network (VSiN), and in five years, it has become a hub of sports betting content. One of the laid-off journalists from legacy media who found a home with VSiN is Femi Abebefe, who joined the network in 2021 after he got let go from his position as a sports anchor with Seattle's KOMO TV.In today's episode of the WorkInSports Podcast, we revisit VP of Content and Engaged Learning Brian Clapp's conversation with Abebefe as the two talk about:• The importance of his early career years at KTVZ• How he dealt with being laid off at KOMO during the pandemic• What working for a sports betting company like VSiN is like• How to get a job in sports bettingCheck out the full episode to learn more about sports betting content jobs like Femi Abebefe's.

Journalism in all forms is constantly evolving as consumer demands change, and the sports industry is no different. For decades, the way sports fans kept up with everything going on with their favorite teams happened like this: •   Watch SportsCenter (probably multiple times). •   Subscribe to magazines such as Sports Illustrated or ESPN The Magazine. •   Catch the beat reporter's insights in the newspaper. For the longest time, that was basically it, you paid to consume sports content, and that's just how things were. Evan Parker, The Athletic's Senior Vice President and General Manager, joined Brian Clapp on the WorkInSports Podcast to discuss how The Athletic found its niche, how the content philosophy of The Athletic has worked despite the challenges this model faces, what the job landscape looks like for sports content creators and how to break into and advance in this part of the sports industry.

Once you get an offer, what do you do? That's what Jennifer in Los Angeles wants to know: “Hey Brian, I have been looking to change jobs to work in the sports industry, and I love the advice you provide on this show! WorkInSports has turned out to be a huge resource for me as I found many jobs, companies, and cool opportunities I wasn't aware of. My question is this, I'm getting into the interview cycle, my resume looks good, and I feel things are going well, but how do you decide whether a job is worth accepting? I'm afraid of making the wrong choice and then having to start this process all over again.” Listen to the full episode to hear all the factors you should consider before accepting a job offer.

The sports industry changed drastically due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, but job openings rebounded this year. During this resurgence of sports job openings, WorkInSports took a look at the pressing issues that matter to candidates in the State of Sports Hiring Report. As the industry adjusts to the new realities of a candidate-centered job market, the WorkInSports Podcast continued to offer sports career advice that reflected the unique circumstances to lay out a road map of how to work in sports. VP of Content and Engaged Learning Brian Clapp chatted with 41 experts in the sports industry and has picked out the best sports career advice to take home as you hit the ground running for your job search in 2022. This compilation of sports career advice includes (among others): Scott O'Neil (former Harris Blitzer Sports and Entertainment CEO): Don't fake it until you make it, or things will go sideways quickly. Mike Neligan (Vayner Sports CMO): Show a tangible way you improve his work environment. Zach Maurides (TeamWorks Founder and CEO): Have a competitive mindset. Emily Caron (Sportico Sports Business Reporter): Be your own advocate.

Working in the sports industry comes with a particular shine. Many people watch sports, and when they hear someone at a social gathering say that they work in the field, their ears perk up. However, the exciting stories at parties cover up that salaries in sports careers sometimes lag behind other professions. Jacob tackles this topic with his question for the WorkInSports Podcast: “Hey Brian, I've listed for a long time, and one subtle theme that comes through from your guests and even you is jobs in the sports industry don't always start with very competitive salaries. Why is that, and what career paths in sports can make the most money?”The simple answer to the first question is supply and demand economics. There are a lot of candidates competing for a limited number of jobs in the sports industry. As of this episode's publishing date, there are over 24,000 job openings on WorkInSports. That number includes every type of job in the field: coaches, video editors, athletic trainers, and sales representatives, to name a few. That is far fewer opportunities compared to iHire career sites such as Nursing (398,000 jobs), Sales (260,000), and Marketing (51,000).

On the WorkInSports Podcast, we pride ourselves on offering career advice to folks looking to break into or move up in, not only the sports industry, but wherever talented workers ply their trade. Our question from Jonathan in Texas is one that definitely applies to everyone finishing up a job or internship application: “Hey Brian – I'm Jonathan; I am a junior in college who is just starting to apply for internships this year. I've been listening to a lot of your advice, partially because my professor talks about your podcast all the time! (He's right, it's really informative). But one thing I couldn't find in your archives was any information on asking for and getting professional references. I've started applying for internships and I was asked for references which caught me off guard. I was not prepared – what should I do? And what should be my strategy to handle this in the future?”  This is a great question. People spend so much time updating and reformatting their resumes. They will write countless cover letters and tweak their formulas each time. Those things are extremely important and completely within their control. Using references, though, is something that requires input from other people who are willing to speak on your behalf or take the time to write you a letter of recommendation. It can also be what puts you over the hump when employers start evaluating their applicants.  Catch the full episode of the podcast where Brian Clapp, VP of Content and Engaged Learning for WorkInSports, covers: Why Do References Matter? Etiquette of the Process

Last week, WorkInSports.com released its inaugural https://www.workinsports.com/employerlp/the-state-of-sports-hiring-2021-report?utm_campaign=SOSH21&utm_content=report&utm_medium=social&utm_term=2021-09-08 (State of Sports Hiring Report). Naturally, Brian Clapp leaned into the data it revealed in the latest episode of the Work In Sports Podcast to determine what the findings mean. One takeaway: A Lot of Movement is About to Happen Industries nationwide have been dreading a “Great Resignation” that is supposedly fast approaching, and the data in sports is bearing that out as nearly 60% (58.1%) of our State of Sports Hiring Report respondents were currently employed and either actively or passively searching for a new job. Additionally, only 5% of the respondents were employed and NOT seeking a new job. One area that is having some difficulties within the sports realm is college athletics. There is a lot to unpack in that area as college athletics is a massive sports employer. If you look on our job board today, you can find roughly 5,000 jobs in college athletics, more than one-sixth of the over 29,000 sports jobs featured on WorkInSports.com. Downsizing hit them over this pandemic and some sources that we spoke with in our look at the https://www.workinsports.com/careeradvice/pages/after-covid-college-athletics-moves-forward-wiser-this-fall (current landscape of college athletics) are struggling to build their staffs back up. Sports are fun to watch and experience and additionally should be fun to be around at work. Yeah, the hours are long and non-traditional at points, but people who enter it generally do so because they enjoy that atmosphere. So when you hear that almost 60% of the people we surveyed are currently working in sports, but are at least considering leaving their post, that ties into the culture of the job they are at.

Jessica Lamothe was a kid who always loved school. While other kids dreamed of being an astronaut or doctor or actress, she wanted to be the Superintendent of Schools. You know, that respected person who showed up at all of the important ceremonies to shake hands? Jessica had her eyes set on that. Her dream changed when she started killing it as the still record-holding triple jump star of her high school. From that she learned that there are people behind the scenes that make sports happen and she set her mind on that path. Her perseverance and willing to pitch in at any job she was asked to do through a variety of sports industry internships landed in the front office staff with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Super Bowl winning Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And she's patiently waiting for her Super Bowl ring to arrive so she can rock in on her fashion, hair and lifestyle site, Jess InSight. (And then get it insured because her Haitian parents raised her with some sense). Jessica gives practical advice on getting the job you want and shares her pride for the women-led initiatives her team is initiating. Oh, and we are both sisters of Chi Omega sorority.
