💡 CAREER TIP OF THE WEEK

If you're just starting out in the sports industry, don't be afraid to consider entry-level jobs. Even if your goal is to become a Social Media Manager (which is super competitive!), landing a role in Ticket Sales can be a great way to get your foot in the door. It gives you a chance to show your work ethic, connect with hiring managers from your team and others in the league, and even share marketing ideas with the social media team. Opportunities often come from being in the right place and proving yourself!
