This site has undoubtedly been used by sport management professionals and students. Such a site is essential for informing those in the industry of job vacancies, career fairs, and news in general. Maybe all professions should adopt such internet databases for their specific professions. I believe the discipline of sport management would not be as widespread or enjoy as much success if it were not for sites such as team work online.

I had completely forgotten about this site since Lilienthal made us do that assignment where we searched through it. I've been checking different individual teams' and organizations' websites, but this is much easier. I especially liked how the positions were broken down in so many ways. First, by sport and league, and then by area within the organization (marketing, operations, ticket office, etc...).
I haven't checked out the "career help" section yet, but I will be soon. In all honesty, looking for a job is pretty much the most painful and stressful thing I've ever had to do. If sites like these truly work, they'll be a life-saver.
I wish you guys the best of luck in searching for jobs. Before I dominated my internship and secured a job for next year, I too had the "pleasure" of using this website. It is well organized and keeps you informed in many ways. I think I still get the weekly newsletter and emails telling me that " The Memphis Redbirds are hiring a new mascot." This lets me easily delete the jobs I am not interested in and investigate the ones I am.
I also liked that a resume can be posted to the site and you dont have to worry about it every single time you apply.
Again, good luck job hunting.
Ohhhhh Dr. Lilienthal. I still get emails from this site when new jobs are posted and available. However, I don't feel as if this site is very helpful (at least I haven't found it to be). I feel in the sport industry it is all about who you know. I am sure Pick's "domination" of his internship I am sure was helpful, but I can almost gurantee that he knew someone who knew someone and got his foot in the door. The only reason I have found these sport job sites helpful is that I could now see that a job was open...my next thought is always...do I know someone there or do I know someone who knows someone who works there? Either way...it is no fun job hunting.
