  9. The Best Advice • Which would you recommend to someone starting out- Look for a job you want or take any job you can find? “I would look for the very best boss. Find someone who will take an interest in you and in your ability to learn and experience the business. Working with, or for, someone who challenges you to be better, supports your growth and celebrates your achievements is far more important than the logo or the title on your card.” - Kathy Carter, Soccer United Marketing

  10. The Best Advice • Besides taking certain courses and completing a formal internship, what other experiences are valuable for me to obtain with an eye towards getting a sports marketing job? “Be a veracious learner – never stop educating yourself. Publications like the Sports Business Journal have a wealth of information about the business of sports. Participate in webinars; attend as many industry events as you can, ask for informational interviews. This is the best way to prepare for a career in sports marketing. It’s not just about being a sports fan. It’s about being a sports business fan.” - Rob Farinella, Blue Sky Agency

  11. The Timeless Advice • Network (face-to-face, LinkedIn, Twitter) • Gain experience (volunteering, internships) • DON’T GIVE UP!
