Sports Industry Job Listing Sites - "Finding a Job in Sports"
http://www.workinsports.com
Do you think it would be cool to have a job in sports?
This site is a great place to start. This web site is a
classified ad section for national job openings exclusively
in the sports industry. There are also some good career
changing tips here for breaking into the sports industry.
So its worthwhile to go and just surf around a bit to find
some career tips that fit your situation. However, if you
want to see their list of exclusive job openings, there
is a fee. But look at it this way - paying their fee as
no different than buying several months worth of classified
ads from the local or national newspaper while you are
looking for a job. In other words, you pay either way,
so if you’re interested in sports jobs, then it’s
probably worth the investment to see just job openings
in sports.

Still think you want a job in sports – here is
another site worth looking at. This has many of the same
features as the work in sports site listed above, and
you do have to pay for their classified section as well – hey,
they can’t put these things together for free you
know – someone has to pay for the work involved
to help you find a fun job in sports! One difference
for this site however is their massive listing of sports
industry companies that you can search for free on line,
by geography and sports industry category – cool.
This is a great tool, because remember, some of the best
jobs open, are not even advertised yet. So you can plug
in your hometown, and search form your laptop for sports
companies in your area to target as you begin networking
for your new career.

first informal meeting in 1921. The first formal meeting
was held Dec. 27, 1921, in New York City at the Hotel

a few weeks later. Since that time, the Association has
grown to more than 8,000 members, including coaches from
Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan and Mexico.
