HOW TO PUT YOUR RESUME ON THE JOB BOARD. In order to be notified of positions that might fit your background, press the "Apply for Future Notification Only". Fill out the complete application and you will not have to fill in the details when you do apply for a job. Make sure you fill in the notification boxes on the left-side of the skills page of the application. Once you receive an email for a job that interests you, apply for the position and login using the same email address and password you used when you created your account and apply for the job. Remember, any email addresses or passwords on other TeamWork Online Job Boards will not work on a job board that you have not first created a new application.
LOOK LOCAL, IF YOU ARE. Employers prefer hiring local candidates for most positions, particularly lower level positions. If you are applying for internships or entry level positions and you have available housing in a market, list a local address as a contact. (Don't apply to different jobs too frequently on one board, as the last address you put in is the one seen by the employer(s).)
TAILOR YOUR COVER LETTER. Make sure you tailor it specifically to the job to which you are applying. Sell yourself! Check your grammar, etc. before you submit it. APPLY ONLY FOR JOBS THAT FIT YOU. CHECK YOUR APPLICATION. After you have completed your application, go to "edit your information" to make sure it is correct. ATTACH YOUR RESUME. On the last screen of the application is a place to download your resume. Please make sure you have it on your computer before applying, or go back and attach it to your record by going through "edit your information. EACH JOB BOARD IS SEPARATE. You will only be notified of jobs on the team or league systems on which you have created a separate application. They are separated so teams in each league only consider candidates who want to work specifically for them. INTERNATIONAL CANDIDATES. If you are a candidate living overseas and are a U.S. citizen or an international candidate and have a green card, make sure you mention that in your cover letter and have a US address listed. CHANGING CAREERS? If you are changing careers, please try to have either advanced education in sports management or volunteer experience in sports to support your interest in working in sports and place that in the Business Experience section of the application. JOBS AVAILABLE WHEN SEASON ENDS. Most team jobs are available when the season is just ending rather than right before the season starts.
KEEPING RECORDS UP-TO-DATE. In order to be notified of positions, it is important to keep your resume and email address current in each database in which you have a record. Make sure you ADD additional information on your record every six months, or when you receive an email advising you that we are "cleaning" the databases, make an addition to the record so you can continue to receive email notifications.
