The course teaches you hor to be an expert at getting hired in sports.YOu can find all the details at <a href=\"http://workinsports.com/academy\">workinsports.com/adademy</a>BUT 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\u2026 and it\u2019s 100% free.\u00a0Register as a user at <a href=\"http://workinsports.com\">WorkInSports.com</a> 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\u2019s talk about the sports industry!<a href=\"https://www.workinsports.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/qa_cover.png\"></a>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\u2019ll all be facing.I suggest you listen, and be prepared for what is to come.\u00a0Coming up on Wednesday<a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/dkaufmann/\"> is my interview with Dan Kaufmann</a>, Director of Corporate Partnerships with the New York Jets - it\u2019s a great interview, and the LAST of my pre-corona interviews!I interviewed Dan prior to the breakout, he\u2019s an incredible interview, but we speak nothing of corona, so you\u2019ll need to take a break from corona talk for 40 minutes on Wednesday, I think you can hack it.\u00a0Dan 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.\u00a0Of course, it can all be found on our site, WorkInSports.com the #1 job board for the sports industry.\u00a0Just being completely transparent\u2026 prior to the corona outbreak, we had about 25,000 active sports jobs on our site.\u00a0Now, we\u2019re down to 10,776 -- it is a smaller pool, but that\u2019s still a lot of opportunities. Our friends at Open Sponsorship -- former podcast guest Ishveen Anand\u2019s company - they are hiring. I\u2019m 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.\u00a0That\u2019s 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\u2026 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\u2019s question comes from Jasmine T\u2026Jasmine 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\u2019t answer the questions, I don\u2019t let you in. It\u2019s pretty simple.\u00a0Ok, Jasmine\u2019s questions:\u00a0\u201cFor 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?\u00a0I'm trying to stay relevant so that I'm remembered when the hiring freeze is over!\u201dJasmine great question and I\u2019m 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,","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/8f6bcdaf-cf5c-4585-8f97-129fd1221ada/wispod-cover.png"}
