Not many people know of teamwork online, but that is okay. For those of you who don't know what teamwork online is here is a brief description. Teamwork online is just like Linkin except it is designated more towards the sporting world. It ranges from football and baseball, to hockey, basketball and even motorsports. Many professional teams and their small leagues use Teamwork online to help sift through the people who are looking to get into professional sports.
Teamwork Online has a profile where you can set up information about yourself and upload a photo, but it also has a place where you can upload your current resume and cover letter. This function allows for businesses to look at all your information without having to request it from you, just makes the process go along a little quicker.
Along with the function for the resume and cover letter, Teamwork Online also has you fill out a questionnaire asking you about what field or fields you are interested in and what type of background you have. Based on your answers, Teamwork Online matches your answers with companies that are seeking people with your specific wants and qualifications.
This site if free to the public and is easy to operate, but don't think that it is just for looking up jobs. Teamwork Online can also search for internships throughout the different sports and can point you in the right direction based on what you are looking for.
Overall this site is a great tool to use if you are looking to get into the professional sports world. Go give it a try, you never know who is looking through the profiles. You may get selected for the job that you always dreamed of.

I think this is awesome and I thank you for bringing it to my attention. I am in business and I have only been thinking about pursuing a career in retail management, but after reading this, I think I would fit well in the world of sports considering I am an athlete myself and it's topic I am interested in. Does this help you find internships and jobs in sports management fields and other managerial aspects of sports organization? Or is this more in the realm of marketing?

It helps lead you to internships, and potential jobs. I used this site to get my internship at Charlotte Motor Speedway. It is very helpful, and also allows you to breakdown by specific sports, positions, and much more.
ReplyDeleteInteresting thoughts about social networking being used in the sports world, Jesse. You caught my eye when you started talking sports. I never thought that a form of social networking online was used in the sports world. I always thought of social networking online as something like facebook or twitter. My group did online dating and I guess that would be a form of social networking online. I enjoyed the research you did on how it is used in the sports world. It seems like it would apply more to people trying to work in the sports industry not play in the sports industry. An industry that big takes thousands of workers just to put on a single event and even more for an entire season. I tried to find some research related to social networking and the sports world and here is what I came up with. I found an article on John Calipari. For those of you who don’t know Calipari, he is a very successful college coach at Kentucky. He learned how to Tweet and now he uses it as an easy means of networking with his team and prospects. “But after Crean's demonstration of Twitter, a Web-based social networking tool that allows people to explain what they're doing in 140 characters or less, Calipari decided it might be a worthwhile venture, especially for a new coach in a new city. Just two months later, Calipari's Twitter page -- @UKCoachCalipari -- is the most popular site among all college coaches, with over 350,000 followers.” I never thought of social networking online being used in sports but as you can see it is apparently used all the time by many players. What do you think?
