1. Volunteering… the BIG gateway !
Showing off, being seen… giving your time. The sports world, especially associations, is in need of volunteers. And that’s where you have a big card to play. Apply as a volunteer in your soccer, tennis or rugby club, or in your sports association that will soon be organizing its end-of-year tournament. There is always a great need. And this several times. Beyond the human aspect, which can be very rewarding, the club will remember it. And the day he is looking for a collaborator, he will surely think of you. Giving to receive, then.
2. Scour the leading addresses daily…
The sports world is full of its own specificities : of course, all the offers for work experience, internships or jobs can be found on the usual platforms. But there are key addresses ! So, every day, you should take the time to scan the ads on sites like Sport Buzz Business, Sport Stratégies, Sportyjob, Global Sport Job or Sportcarrière. And of course, LinkedIn and the influencers in the sports world should not be neglected. Follow the personalities who regularly share offers on their profiles.
3. And read every day !
