What do they mean by experience and should I bother applying?\u00a0Good Question! Let's get into it:Hi everybody, I\u2019m Brian Clapp Director of Content for <a href=\"http://workinsports.com\">WorkinSports.com</a> and this is the Work in Sports podcast\u2026Let\u2019s talk about the Sports Career Accelerator event September 13-14th in Atlanta -- \u00a0we are super excited about this event, and I have to admit so much of our excitement is based on your enthusiasm. It\u2019s infectious! As so many of you have asked for more information, or told us you are really excited, that has helped push us forward, and motivated us to make this the best event you have ever been a part of.For fans of this podcast we are opening registration tomorrow! Tuesday August 7th. I will be sharing a registration link on our Private Facebook Group page \u2013 and I will be emailing personally all the people who have entered their name on our early interest list.<a href=\"https://www.workinsports.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/qa_coverE.png\"></a>You will get the first crack at registration for this one of a kind event.Then we will open registration to the public on Wednesday\u2026my hope is all of you fill it up first, so we don\u2019t even have to bother with the non-listeners. How cool would it be for this event to be filled up with all for you ambitious fans?!I will be at the event personally, so this will be a meetup of sorts too. And I\u2019m telling you, the guests speakers and networking opportunities wil blow your socks off.Now, many of you are probably wondering\u2026 Hey Brian, didn\u2019t you say last week that registration would open for us on Monday?Yes I did. But we had some tech glitches this weekend, so we are spending today testing everything to make sure it works correctly before we open to up registration to you. We want registration to be smooth and seamless, and I\u2019d rather wait a day, than have tech mistakes we can avoid.That\u2019s life\u2026sometimes you need to adjust!Anyway look for the registration info tomorrow and let\u2019s get this done!On to today\u2019s QA session question, this one comes from Ethan in Minnesota \u2013Ethan writes in \u2013\u201cHi Brian, love the podcast thank you so much for the content you share. I\u2019m graduating from college in the spring and as you suggest I\u2019m reading job descriptions now so that I can figure out the gaps I should fill in during my senior year. (SO SMART!).One thing I am noticing is that many jobs that claim to be entry level are asking for two years experience \u2013 which seems to contradict the words entry level! Are these jobs I should ignore? Or apply to anyway\u2026what\u2019s the deal here?!\u201d&nbsp;Ethan what a great question \u2013 frustrating isn\u2019t it? Entry level jobs want so much experience\u2026 how does that work?Let\u2019s separate the fact from fiction and dig into the reality of the job market.1: What do job requirements really mean?2: What does experience really mean?3: Customize your resume and cover letter\u00a0&nbsp;4: \u00a0Shot gun vs. targeted5: Gap AnalysisListen to the episode to find out more details on this entry level jobs discussion!","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/4528b316-5a54-4ede-8b73-898116ebad8b/qa-cover-300x300.png"}
