Career Advice : Careers in the Sports Industry



  Career job information for job seekers and find good employment job 




In May of 1999 John Elway announced his retirement from football, while hockey star Wayne Gretzky played his last game in April 1999. A few months before that, in January, Michael Jordan retired from basketball. These three men serve as role models for many athletes interested in pursuing a professional career.

However, the fact is only the top athletes make it to the pros. Others who have an interest in sports find themselves pursuing careers in the industry, but not necessarily on the field or court.

Like Elway, who looked at his exit not as a retirement but as "a graduation," professional athletes eventually leave the game and plan to move on to other careers. They usually stay within the industry, becoming coaches, team managers, or broadcasters. This article will provide information for those interested in pursuing a career job in the sports industry, both on and off the field.

Occupational Information

  • Athlete
  • Athletic Coach
  • Athletic Trainer

The following occupational profiles do not specifically discuss the sports industry. However, those who work in these occupations may specialize in that area.

Tips : Advice On Careers In Sport And Leisure



  Career job information for job seekers and find good employment job 



Ever thought about working in sport and active leisure? There are over 200 different job roles to choose from in these industries....

Roles include anything from referee or umpire, personal trainer, gym receptionist, children's play scheme coordinator and after school play assistant; to outdoor activity leader, caravan park manager, lifeguard and volunteer sports club coordinator.

Sector Profile

The sport and active leisure sector, which includes the sport and recreation, health and fitness, playwork, the outdoors and caravan industries, is a growing and vitally important part of the UK economy. It is amazingly diverse in the range of activities, organisations and jobs available, and is a fantastic sector in which to pursue a career. Its one of the fastest growing sectors in the UK, and with sport and fitness playing an increasingly crucial role within society it's no surprise.

However, before embarking on a career in the sector it is important to understand the day to day realities of such roles. For example, in many employment areas incorporated in the sector, the majority of the general public pursue their leisure activities in the evenings and at weekends. Therefore some jobs are likely to involve working un-sociable hours, in customer focused environments and possibly on a shift basis.

Furthermore, pay levels are often at a lower level than counterparts working in other sectors. Sport and active leisure is a very popular sector to work in, with over 26% of young people (16-25) listing it as the place where they'd like to pursue a full time career.

The sector is a diverse industry to be involved in offering a variety of different career pathways. There are many opportunities to progress in the sector, for example from working in a leisure centre at an operational level to becoming a junior manager, continually developing your career and level of experience along the way. There are also numerous qualifications within the industry that provide steps to enable career progression through continuous professional development (CPD).

Sector Issue

Currently there are around 634,000 people working across sport and active leisure. Research shows that employment in the sector has soared since 1999 – growing at three times the rate of the UK economy as a whole. And with around 8.5 million adults regularly take part in sport and fitness its not surprising that sector employment is growing.

There are over 36,000 organisations operating within the sector, and despite its growth in employment, 20% of all employers find it difficult to recruit people with the right skills. Only 5% of employers think that new recruits have the right kind of skills for their business. Communication, IT, customer service and management and leadership skills are cited by sector employers as key when it comes to recruitment and yet they have to turn people down or re-train the successful ones in this area.

Continuous Development Is Key

So what's important? Working within sport or fitness is rapidly becoming one in the same. Increasingly, leisure centres are offering a variety of activities that need qualified coaches to lead them. These 'multi-activity' centres still offer a gym environment, however as the consumer becomes more health educated and fitness 'savvy' the demand for advice goes beyond working with the equipment or devising an exercise programme.

With this in mind, if you are looking to start a career in the sport and fitness sector you will need a 'qualifications check'; as the industry becomes more professional, employers want highly skilled and trained recruits. The Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs) has been set up to aid the professionalisation of the sector. Adopted as industry currency, it helps to safeguard and promote the health and interests of people who are using the services of exercise and fitness instructors, teachers and trainers.

The Register creates a framework within which individual instructors can achieve the highest standards of professionalism, linked to best practice in the exercise and fitness industry. Registration is achieved and maintained through the gaining of qualifications and training which are nationally recognised and which are linked to the national occupational standards for exercise and fitness.

The Register exists because it is the only way to independently demonstrate that fitness professionals are competent and qualified to do their job. The Register is a central feature of the professionalism of the industry that is essential to giving customers, users, the public and partners in the medical professions, the necessary level of confidence in the quality of services provided by fitness professionals.

So where to next?

It makes a massive contribution to society as a whole, a healthier nation, the reduction in crime linked to social inclusion, not to mention the children's workforce and the impact it has from the cradle to the grave.

There has never been a better time to work in the sector. In just four short years, the biggest sporting competition in the world is coming to London. The 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games is a huge opportunity for the sector, not only in the lead up and during the Games, but in delivering the legacy. Billions are currently being invested in facilities, we need to ensure we have the right people running them, encouraging the public to take physical activity seriously and encouraging them back time and time again.

Career Advice : 10 Jobs for Sports Fans



  Career job information for job seekers and find good employment job 




It's a great time to be a sports fan. From international football to boxing, you can catch a big match or event nearly all the time at a live game or on a 24-hour sports station.

This can make it rather tricky to tear yourself away from your TV and go to work...unless you're lucky enough to work in sport. If you haven't got what it takes to be the next Beckham, Calzaghe or Hamilton, be happy knowing there are some fantastic jobs to satisfy your sports cravings and still earn you a regular salary. Take these, for instance:

1. Sports Commentator
Team player:
Sports commentators cover games and sporting events so that viewers feel they're in on the action. They're right there at the games and press conferences, interviewing sports personalities and smelling the sweat in the locker room.

On the ball: Many start in local radio and move into regional television as their career progresses. Trainee salaries are usually around £15,000 p.a. while some TV presenters earn £100,000 p.a.

Substitute: Sports Presenter, Sports Journalist.

2. Referee
Team player:
Hate that call? Think you could do better? One of the hardest parts of being a referee or umpire is dealing with the stress caused by those who disagree with your split-second judgments. Refereeing in England is organised into 10 grades, ranging up to level one for full-time professionals.

On the ball: Amateur referees get around £25 a match while Premier League officials earn in the region of £40,000 p.a. plus match fees.



3. Sportswear Sales Rep
Team player:
Are you up-to-date with the latest sporting and fashion trends? 'Sports lifestyle' is key these days and you would be selling the latest products to the big high street sports and leisurewear stockists.

On the ball: Salaries are from £15,000p.a. - £70,000 p.a., often with a bonus or commission scheme.



4. Agent
Team player:
How are your negotiating skills? Could you be the next Jerry Maguire? A sports agent helps talented athletes get a better contract, better endorsement, better sponsorship and a better deal.

On the ball: Your athletes are your breadwinners. The agent receives a commission that's between four and 10% of the contract they've negotiated.



5. Advertising Account Handler
Team player:
What does advertising have to do with sports? A lot, considering it would have cost £670,000 for an advertiser to buy a 30-second TV slot in this year's grand prix races. Success on the billboards or screen, like on the pitch, requires preparation and money. Advertising account handlers are the link between the ad agency and client, making sure campaigns are produced on time and on budget.

On the ball: Starting salaries are around £18,000 p.a. Senior directors can earn £120,000 p.a.

Substitute: Marketing Executive, PR Executive, Sports Event Manager.

6. Coach
Team player: Could you be the next Clive Woodward? Sports coaches teach skills and techniques, helping people to reach their full potential. Full-time opportunities are mainly in professional sports such as football, cricket, tennis, golf and athletics. Vacancies are scarce and competition fierce with only a quarter of paid coaches employed full-time.

On the ball: Salaries can be  £12,000 p.a. - £30,000 p.a.


7. Sports Development Officer
Team player: Would you like others to benefit from sport as much as you do? Sports development is one of the fastest growing areas of the sports industry. As an SDO, you work with the local community making sure that people of all ages and ability have opportunities to take part, develop skills and lead healthier lifestyles.

On the ball: Although there are no set entry qualifications, this is increasingly becoming a graduate profession. Salaries range from £16,700 p.a. - £40,000 p.a.



8. Bookie
Team player: On-course bookmakers, or turf accountants, work in betting shops on location - usually at horse or dog racing tracks. Many employers will ask you to sit a basic maths test to show you can deal with percentages and calculate odds and payments.

On the ball: Salaries start at £13,500 p.a. rising to £20,000 p.a.



9. Groundsperson
Team player:
Groundspeople look after football, cricket and rugby pitches, bowling greens, tennis courts and golf courses, managing the soil and grass to make sure the turf is always in top condition.

On the ball: The IOG recommends £13,700 p.a. for unskilled groundspeople and up to £27,375 for head groundspeople.

Substitute: Greenkeeper, Leisure Centre Assistant.

10. Bar Attendant
Team player: People at sporting events and need to drink and eat. As well as keeping the bar area clean and well stocked. You'd need to be able to serve swiftly to make sure punters don't miss a vital minute!

On the ball: Salaries range from £9,000 p.a. up to £30,000 + for a bar manager.



Rarely does a day go by without sport hitting the headlines, so it's hardly surprising that around 620,000 people work within leisure, sport and recreation in the UK and the figure is growing. Where else can you work and play at the same time?

tips & Tricks:10 SEO Tips and Tricks for Powerful Search Engine Optimization



 Career job information for job seekers and find good employment job 




Ten SEO tips and tricks you should and should not be doing on your Web pages to make them rank higher in search engines. This list looks at more than just meta tags and the basics of SEO, so even if you've got some of the factors, you may not have everything. Scroll to the end of the list to look at the things you should never be doing, as well as the things you should always do at the beginning.

Write great content

Great content is where it all starts. You can have all the keywords in the world, but if your content is no good, people won't stick around on your site and search engines won't find your site valuable.

Write unique content

Unique content is important too. You need to provide content that has different information than what is on other sites and other Web pages.

Add new content all the time

Sites that have new content added on a regular basis are seen as more reliable than sites that rarely do. This also helps you to increase the amount of relevant content on your site, which also improves your rankings.

Create a great keyword phrase

The first thing you should do when working on search engine optimization is find a great keyword phrase for that page. You shouldn't try to optimize your entire site to one keyword phrase - instead focus on writing pages for specific keywords and phrases.

Choose a phrase that is popular, but not too popular

When trying to decide on a keyword phrase, you want to find one that is popular but not extremely popular. This may seem counter-intuitive, but the reality is that extremely popular keywords are very desirable and so very competitive. It's better to try to optimize for keywords that you can rank higher. You'll get more pageviews from a less popular keyword when you're on the first or second page of the search engines, than from a super popular keyword that you only make it to page 50 of search engines.

Write an accessible site

Accessible HTML is accessible to both search engine spiders and screen readers. The more accessible you make your pages, the easier it will be for search engines to read and rank your pages.

Use the keyword phrase in your title tag

The title tag is one of the most important tags on your Web page. And placing your keyword phrase in the title tag, preferably at the beginning, is very important to get that phrase into the search engines. Plus, that puts your keyword phrase as the link in the search engine index.

Get a domain with your keyword phrase

Putting your keyword phrase in your domain name is a great way to optimize for that phrase.

Use the keyword phrase in your URL

Even if you can't get your keywords into your domain name, you can put them into your URLs. Search engines read the URLs and assign value to the text they find there.

Use your keyword phrase a lot, but not too much

The ratio of your keywords to the rest of the text on your page is called the keyword density. It's important to repeat your keywords in your document, but not too much. Keyword density should be between 3 and 7% for your primary keyword phrase and 1-2% for any secondary keywords or keyword phrases.
