ESPN workshop

The ESPN workshop gave insight into what recruiters are looking for in potential hires.

The goal of recruiters is to find future employees that could have an influence on the company not just interns to fill positions.

The representatives from ESPN told us about their specific positions and how they got their jobs.

They look for people who are well rounded, passionate about sports, creative, leaders, and hard workers.

Someone whom is well rounded in their eyes is a person who is involved in multiple activities and can handle performing multiple tasks at once.

Little details like having digital and social media skills, leadership roles, and a connection with the sports realm is what can set individuals apart from the crowd.

The representatives went on to describe what they look for on resumes and how interviews are conducted.

Regarding resumes they want interns to key in on points that were emphasized in the job description.

The key is to sell yourself and add aspects that only apply to the internship.

Presentation and first impressions are huge in the interviews they conduct.

Having ideas about the product and giving insight about the company is something that can set individuals apart.

Lastly, the person conducting the interview will ask if you personally have any questions.

You must ask questions or they will immediately add you to the rejection pile.
