Hello friends! 👋
Welcome to the SportsGrad Podcast: The ultimate guide to make it in the sports industry!
Each week we share how people made it in sports and tease out their career decisions, work habits, skills, and everything they do that makes them great.
All so you can learn how to get in, get promoted, and get thriving in the sports industry.
Welcome to part 2 of our 2 part ‘Best of Ask SportsGrad’ episodes!
This is a collection of the most popular questions asked by you guys that have made it to Ask SportsGrad.
Today we’re going to dive into your top questions specifically around job hunting, networking and using LinkedIn. You’ll learn how to find experience when you can’t get any, how to job hunt if you’ve just moved to Australia, what to do if you’re not qualified but really want the job, how to network, and how to find mentors.
Then on the LinkedIn front we answer your questions on what should you be posting about, how to increase engagement if you are posting, plus how to craft your experience section properly.
If you struggling to crack the sports industry job market, put this on repeat.
