Sports Management is a challenging industry to break into. It is highly competitive and frankly new opportunities for entry are rare.
I’m happy to share that the Fenway Sports Management Group has created the FSM University. This is a free virtual education program hosted by Fenway Sports Management that will offer industry insights and networking opportunities. This is open to college students and virtual classes will occur once a week. The program starts on September 23 but you need to …
Understanding the industry you want to work in is paramount to successfully gain entry. Every industry has a plethora of resources to explore but some are not as ubiquitous as others. Honestly, it is hard to remain updated with the most current information for any industry.

The site has articles and links on topics such as procurement, freight, operations, logistics, technology, …

So naturally you might ask, “How do I manage this process?”. The staff at Handshake created a great video answering …

When I ask groups of students if they have an updated LinkedIn or other career related profile, generally less than 20% will raise their hand. While that might be effective for a candidate’s utilization of that platform, that simply will not work on Handshake. In order for you to optimize your search, take the time to create the best profile you can. Recruiters are …
We are so excited to have Handshake available for Bentley students. We recognize there is much to learn about this job search platform. And for many of you, the questions you might have are “How do I see the job listings?”, “How can I find opportunities for my major?”, or “Should I use keywords or filters?”. After you create your profile (yes that is the first and most important step), you can start your search. For more information in how …
