We explain in this edition of the Work In Sports Podcast with Brian ClappHey everybody, I\u2019m Brian Clapp, VP of Content and Engaged Learning with <a href=\"http://workinsports.com\">WorkInSports.com</a> and this is the WorkInSports podcast.I have to tell you all, later this afternoon I am interviewing Dan Duquette for this podcast and I\u2019m a little more than fired up. Dan Duquette was the GM of the Expos, the Red Sox and the Baltimore Orioles. He\u2019s a 2-time MLB executive of the year.\u00a0He traded for Pedro Martinez!<a href=\"https://www.workinsports.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/qa_coverD.png\"></a>He signed Manny Ramirez!He traded Heathcliff Slocumb for Derek Lowe and Jason Varitek!As a die-hard Red Sox fan\u2026.I\u2019m in mind-blowing don\u2019t mess this up, mode right now.\u00a0I usually prep about 10 questions for each interview subject\u2026 with Dan, I wrote 25 questions down in like 10 minutes.\u00a0And for all you Orioles fans out there, your team may be terrible now, but I\u2019d like to remind you it was he who led them to the playoffs in 2012 for the first time since 1997, and won the American League East in 2014.\u00a0The guy is a baseball genius. He\u2019s going to be talking about his career. But also about a <a href=\"https://www.sportsmanagementworldwide.com/courses/baseball-player-development\">new online course in Baseball Player Development</a> that he\u2019s launching with our friends over at Sports Management Worldwide.\u00a0Can you tell I\u2019m excited?Alright,m tune into that next Wednesday -- this Wednesday is another great interview with Dennis Adamovich, the CEO of the College Football Hall of Fame. We talk a lot about leadership, event management and who he admires in the game today.\u00a0Really fun stuff, that\u2019s on Wednesday so tune in.\u00a0Alright, so what is on tap for today\u2026 fan question!Well, before we get into that...a little perspective and inspiration. I don\u2019t appreciate cheesy sayings people put on their wall to motivate themselves. BUT,\u00a0 I absolutely love when someone LIVES in a way that represents truth and perspective.Maybe you\u2019ve heard this story, maybe not.\u00a0Sadio Mane, The Liverpool Star from Senegal who earns approximately 10.2 million dollars annually, was spotted by fans carrying a cracked Iphone, and somehow it became a story. People asked him why\u2026 why do you a man of great means, suffer through a cracked iPhone, oh the horror.His response is legendary. \u00a0\"Why would I want ten Ferraris, 20 diamond watches and two jet planes? What would that do for the world? I starved, I worked in the fields, I played barefoot, and I didn't go to school. Now I can help people. I prefer to build schools and give poor people food or clothing. I have built schools [and] a stadium; we provide clothes, shoes, and food for people in extreme poverty. In addition, I give 70 euros per month to all people from a very poor Senegalese region in order to contribute to their family economy. I do not need to display luxury cars, luxury homes, trips, and even planes. I prefer that my people receive a little of what life has given me,\"\u00a0I love this man.Floyd Mayweather...are you listening? Hat tip to Alina Menuhkin for sharing this on LinkedIn earlier today.\u00a0Alright...now today\u2019s question.It is from Nick in Salisbury, Maryland.\u00a0\u201cHi Brian, I\u2019ve heard you talk tangentially about how to optimize your resume to defeat the Applicant Tracking Systems -- but I haven\u2019t heard you specifically address how. So...how do you do it?\u201dNick, I am going to read and answer your question primarily because you used the word tangentially in it. I found that impressive.\u00a0I think that is a fair critique, I may have mentioned the importance of defeating the Applicant Tracking systems in passing...but never got into the nuts and bolts of it all. So let\u2019s do that!Quick explainer on how ATS systems work.They scan you, and if you don\u2019t hit the mark, I never see you.1: Apply only for jobs you are qualified for!","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/4da5a4d5-a56b-47c1-88cc-de05c7d3654d/wispod-cover.png"}
