Welcome to December everyone,
I hope everyone had a lovely US Thanksgiving, and that you have all found some great deals over Black Friday + Cyber Monday!
The American holiday last week does unfortunately mean less teams were opening up new jobs - but I’ve got 33 of them for you today, including some vey cool ones!
I’ve also got TWO exciting announcements to share with you all, which you’ll see more about as you scroll down 👇
My Favourite Role of the Week
My favourite role this week is easily the Manager, Broadcasting & Scheduling job that the PWHL has opened up. First and foremost, this is just a cool role. Getting to work with all the teams and partners to coordinate schedules and broadcast channels and streaming arrangements sounds very interesting.
Secondly, you guys are always asking for remote jobs, which are super rare in sports - but this role is remote within Canada or the US. Be sure to check this one out!
Advice of the Week
For my 1st announcement in this newsletter, I am excited to share that I’m teaming up with my friend Ian Beckenstein at Behind The Keyboard 🎉
Behind The Keyboard is the only dedicated resource bringing readers behind the scenes from minor hockey to the NHL. From tips & tricks, to interview prep and job postings, they have you covered in all aspects of being an NHL video coach. There is a free subscription option, a paid option as well. Being a paid subscriber gets you access to their discord server, plus all the archived content and job postings.
Ian and I will be continuing to share resume advice and career advice with you all, kicking it off with 2 resume tips below:
Keep it short! This is the number one tip I can give! Coaches and teams will be receiving countless applications for their openings. Do your best to keep your resume to one page, keep it clean, concise, and specific.
Formatting Formatting Formatting. Imagine there are 50 white papers on a table and the Head Coach is looking for 1 to stand out. Try adding the team logos and other images to help your resume pop and stand out. You can add logos for the softwares and platforms that you are familiar with. You can bold and underline key items. These will help give the “wow” factor and potentially separate you from others.
