For a Self-Audit \u2013 Work In Sports Podcast","description":"Hey everybody, I\u2019m Brian Clapp, VP of Content and Engaged Learning at WorkInSports.com and this is the Work In Sports podcast\u2026It was March 11th that the NBA suspended their season and today is March 30th -- that\u2019s 19 days without sports, the longest I\u2019ve ever gone in my life. It is for the greater good, but man this stinks.\u00a0I hope you have all been doing the best you can with social distancing and quarantine. It is the right choice, and I hope you are all following the guidelines set out by the experts.I\u2019m not making any political commentaries here when I say -- trust the experts. Ignore the fluff, and pageantry, focus on the medical experts and scientists.\u00a0Moving right along -- we\u2019re trying to stay focused on the things you can be doing to advance yourself during this time of chaos.We are ramping up our content -- on Mondays, we\u2019ll do our standard answer a fan question. ON Wednesday\u2019s expert interview...and then we\u2019re adding a Friday edition, which will either be a piece of advice relevant to our current world and situation or will be a timely guest.\u00a0So far we\u2019ve had special guests Kenneth Shropshire, CEO of the Global Sports Institute, I\u2019ve done an episode on networking during the global pandemic, and just this past Friday I had on Greg Hylton, VP of Premium Seating with the NFL.I have to tell you, Greg\u2019s one of my new favorite interviews and I hope you all have listened or will go back and listen to it today.Why this episode?Well, Greg works in the NFL, the one league with a season ahead - so his perspective is unique right now.He also really knows the importance of revenue-generating roles, and how they will be in great demand when we come out of thisWe talk about the smaller leagues can survive this, the strategy teams may use to make up the revenue shortfall, how attending games may have to change\u2026 and more. It was an awesome conversation, please check it out.\u00a0Today, we\u2019re going to handle what has become a very very common question.\u00a0\u00a0I\u2019ve received this question in various formats about 1,000 times now -- \u201cHey brian, what can I be doing right now to advance my career prospects?\u201dI\u2019ve talked about networking during this time, I\u2019ve talked about learning a skill that you don\u2019t have, I\u2019ve talked about online courses and training, especially in sales because that is where the demand will be.Today I want to talk about conducting a self-audit.\u00a0I know, this sounds awful. Aa self-audit sounds like a root canal. I need to come up with some better branding.\u00a0All it really is, is getting a deeper understanding of yourself, and how you match up with the needs of the marketplace.\u00a0\u00a0Step 1: The Heat Check Step 2: The resume review\u00a0Step 3: Cover letterStep 4: Informational interviews","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/9e405318-72b6-41bf-be97-4bea2db9a8fd/wispod-cover.png"}
