AVP

Posted on Thursday, May 15, 2008

AVP Logo

It was no big surprise that I decided to play volleyball in college. After all, my parents met on the volleyball court, and my first toy was not a doll or a teddy bear, but a mini Molton volleyball too big to even fit in my hands. When I graduate in a week, I will officially be retired from college athletics. As I enter the working world in the fall, for the first time in my life, I will be forced to fit volleyball into my schedule, rather than fitting my schedule around volleyball. Unfortunately, in consulting “on the beach” means working out of the home office, where volleyball is not an approved activity. Had I known that I could have made volleyball my work and my play, like it is for employees of the AVP, I may have taken a different career path. It’s too bad One Day, One Job wasn’t around during my job search. Continue reading about AVP…

YardBarker

We’re often asked to write more posts about jobs in sports. Because the supply of jobs in sports can’t possibly meet demand (most of the payroll in the industry is devoted to the athletic talent), starting a career can be especially tough. So much of hiring in sports is based on networking; hence, former college athletes gain access to some of the best opportunities through strong connections with alumni and boosters. We’re out to help the average Joes, who don’t have an easy in, find new opportunities in sports and more easily navigate the hiring process process. Today’s jobs were found when some late night Facebooking turned up a recruitment advertisement for YardBarker, which is a blog and social network for sports fans and athletes, so always keep your eye on those Facebook Flyers.

United States Golf Association

United States Golf Association Logo

When you think of non-profit organizations and their missions, you typically think about groups that are feeding the hungry, saving the planet, or promoting education. There are myriad non-profit organizations that aren’t dealing with such serious issues, but they still deserve attention during your job search. One example is the United States Golf Association. As golf’s national governing body, the USGA is constantly focused on anything that is “for the good of the game,” whether it be running tournaments, writing the rules of Golf, or supporting other golf related programs.

We wanted to kick the NCAA tournamet off right by featuring entry-level jobs at CBSSports.com, but all that bragging about being on vacation is coming back to haunt us. The wifi is down at my hotel. As if our posts so far this week weren’t sparse enough, today’s is going to leave all the work up to you because this coming from an iPhone.

Xenith Logo

Is your job search starting to make you want to bang your head against the wall? Before you do that, consider purchasing (and wearing) one of Xenith’s X1 football helmets. Xenith has drawn from both medical experts and athletes to make a helmet that makes football safer for all participants. Collisions are a significant part of football, but with Xenith’s technology, the head and neck injuries that come with them don’t have to be. Continue reading about Xenith…

NFL Teams

Posted on Monday, February 4, 2008

NFL LogoThe Super Bowl is over, which is heartbreaking for all you football fans. I’d make reference to the outcome of how either the Pats pulled off a perfect season or Eli Manning finally lived up to his last name and got himself a ring, but I wrote this post a few days in advance because I’m in Costa Rica fishing. I probably only watched half the game before going to bed so that I can wake up at 5 AM to get on a boat. I also only saw commercials in Spanish, which are not the same Super Bowl commercials that we’ve all come to love (by the way, don’t be influenced by the big job boards buying Super Bowl ad space, they’re still a really bad way to find authentic information for your job search). There’s no Internet down there anyways, so it’s not like I could have updated this post even if I watched the whole game. You should definitely feel sorry for me. Continue reading about NFL Teams…

USA Football

USA Football Logo

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! Yes, this might be a first. A weekend where both Saturday and Sunday are major holidays. Don’t even try to dispute the validity of Groundhog Day and Super Bowl Sunday as major holidays. That means we have another holiday themed non-profit organization to talk about. We looked high and low, and couldn’t find too many football related non-profits, which surprised us. We especially wanted to find one that is actively hiring, and on that front we struck out - er - got sacked. Continue reading about USA Football…

MLB Trade Rumors

MLB Trade Rumors LogoTypically, our daily posts focus on the best entry-level jobs for new college graduates. Occasionally we’ll talk about part-time gigs or freelance opportunities if they look especially interesting (and we’re saving internships for our next project… shhh), but we usually like to stay focused on full time jobs for new grads. Well, today we’re going to feature a “job” that is not paid, nor is it full time, but it is a great opportunity that could definitely help you pursue a passion for sports journalism.

Harlem RBI

Harlem RBI Logo

Were you a baseball fan growing up? Was the floor of your room often covered in baseball cards? Did you spend more time oiling your glove than actually playing with it? Did your Mom make you throw away your favorite team’s cap because you absolutely wore it out? It’s amazing how your love of a sport can define your childhood. Harlem RBI is a non-profit organization that is cultivating that love of sport in New York City’s youths. Through the power of teams, the kids that participate in Harlem RBI’s programs are given the opportunity to play, learn, and grow - hopefully into graduates who are physically fit, confident, caring, and work-ready or headed for college.

Burton

Posted on Monday, December 10, 2007

Burton Logo“Many Burton employees will snag freshies first thing in the morning before coming in to work during the winter.” Being non “riders,” we’re not quite sure what that means, but it sounds like Burton is a place where people love what they do. As if that wasn’t enough, their logo matches our color scheme, so we had to do a post about the world’s first snowboard factory.

Burton currently has three great entry-level opportunities that are perfect for someone fresh out of college. In their Irvine, CA location there are two positions: they are hiring a PR Coordinator (preferably someone who is positive, enthusiastic - especially about snowboarding, and a great communicator) and a US Apparel Sales Manager (this time they’re looking for somebody who is independent, investigative, and into traveling a lot). At their headquarters in Burlington, VT, they have an opening in product development as an Assistant Product Manger - Burton Binding for someone with excellent Adobe Illustrator skills and basic knowledge of how plastic injected parts are manufactured. The cool thing about these postings is that the job descriptions are honestly written (one job description that is sadly not entry-level used the word “stoked”) and provide the goals they have set for their future hire. Burton wants to hire passionate people, and that is certainly reflected in the way they write their job postings. Continue reading about Burton…

Under Armour

Posted on Friday, November 30, 2007

Under Armour LogoYou know the feeling - it’s hot, wet, sticky and feels like it weighs about 6 lbs. So you change shirts during practice. Twice. That’s three shirts in one practice. You practice 5 days a week. That’s a lot of laundry. How would you like to work for a company founded out of a strong disdain for wet t-shirts (no, not the kind you might find on Spring Break)? Kevin Plank started Under Armour in 1995 with the idea of making better t-shirts to wear under his uniform while he played for the University of Maryland Football Team. With a great product and a little luck, Under Armour has become an essential piece of an athlete’s wardrobe in what was seemingly a saturated market. Continue reading about Under Armour…
