Turn the Tables: 5 Ways to Stand Out in Your Next Sports Business Interview
Get off of the interview *hot seat.*
Here are 5 ways to *flip* your next sports business interview and stand out in the process 👇
1. *Present* — Bring examples of creative content (for a marketing interview), sales scripts (for a sales interview), statistical models (for an analytics interview), etc. Steer the conversation to be able to present your work.
2. *Name drop* — If you have a connection at the organization, let the interviewer know. You will offer a tangible reason to want to join and there’s a 90% chance your interviewer will ask them for a reference.
3. *Interview the interviewer* — Ask thoughtful questions about the company culture and how they develop their team. Having a direct conversation creates opportunity for authentic connection.
4. *Focus group the company’s work* — Poll your friends on their recent campaigns and share the results. You can grab your interviewers attention by making the conversation valuable to them.
5. *Pitch a new idea* — Even if it’s not “spot on,” the initiative to introduce something new that the organization could try will indicate how you would operate creatively in the role.

⭐️ As a bonus, shifting the conversation to a two-way dialogue will give you a chance to see what it may be like to collaborate and work with your interviewers in a live setting.
My favorite interviews are in-depth conversations about these items. With graduations happening now and many interviews ahead, our TeamWork Online team wishes the same success for others!
