I have found three job openings and one internship from the two sites listed above. These three jobs would be what I would call starter jobs, but they are all potentially something that could lead to a higher position and great opportunity.
The job titles for the first link above are a student marketing assistant and an IMG college internship.
The job titles for the second link are a seasonal athlete at Nike and the other an associate category merchant.
The requirements listed for the first job opening is highly motivated, driven, and bright students. Other requirements state that you must be enrolled and have at least one semester remaining at USM. The student marketing assistants are expected to attend all home sports that are assigned to you for that semester and you must choose other sports to contribute to as well. You must be available on nights and weekends to help with events. Lastly you must stay committed to academic obligations while contributing and gaining experience in collegiate athletics.
The next possible job would be an internship at Southern Mississippi. The job requirements are somewhat similar to the first job openings. They are looking for a highly motivated individual to do the internship. They must be highly organized with the ability to multi-task and work under pressure. All candidates applying for the job must possess strong written, communication, and computer skills. They must also be familiar with the Microsoft Office programs. They must also be very personable, proactive, and willing to work long hours including nights, weekends, and holidays. The candidate should ideally be a college junior or senior with a career path preferably in Sport Marketing/Sport Business. You must also be able to work with others, as you might possibly be assigned corporate partners. You must be able to organize and manage sponsorship contracts. Must preform game day duties for football, basketball, and baseball including coordination of hospitality efforts, tracking sponsored in-game features, signage placement, and activation of on-field or in-stadium promotions.
The first job opening for Nike is a seasonal athlete, which is someone who would be working in a local Nike store. You must be a natural leader and a motivator and always up for a challenge. The qualifications listed are that you must have or be pursuing a High School diploma or GED. Must be able to preform basic math functions, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. You must also be able to effectively communicate in verbal and written English. Physical requirements include the ability to twist, bend, squat, climb a ladder and stand for extended periods of time. Must also be able to accomplish multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment, and also be able to work well with others as a team.
The last job I found was also at Nike. The next job would actually take place in Oregon. As the Associate Category Merchant for Women’s Training, you will provide Merchandising support and execution within Regional Product Merchandising at an intermediate professional level. You will be responsible for providing SKU targets based on historical numbers and overall SKU targets. You will be preparing Merchandising Tools such as style/SKU reports, productivity reports, flow, and assortment pages, merchandising grids, etc. You will translate and prioritize consumer insights and opportunities from countries/region to provide critical and valuable input to the Global Category Product teams.

Must be able to translate observations of trends, color, materials and fashion into compelling product recommendations, then editing the product line for profitability. Must have general financial proficiency and analysis skills. Must be able to enter data in a variety of systems and databases. Also must have verbal and written communication skills in local market language, including presentations.
Some of the skills I posses are written and verbal communication skills. I also am very organized and motivated. Since I am a cheerleader I have experience working with a team. I have worked in an office before and performed secretary like task. I am able to work on all Microsoft programs. I have also worked at a gymnastics business and taught many students gymnastics and also coached cheerleading teams. I will make sure to list all of these qualifications in my resume and cover letter showing the people in charge of hiring that I have the qualifications needed for the job.
The job that seems to be most fit for me is the internship at Southern Miss. I would love this internship because it is asking for people who are in Sport Marketing/Sport Business. My major is Sport Management and this would be a perfect fit for me. They are looking for someone highly motivated and highly organized. These are two qualifications that I have. They must also have skill in writing and communication and be familiar with Microsoft Office. They must also be able to work well with others. This internship seems to be a perfect fit for me. As I listed above I have worked on teams, coached, and in an office. I am familiar with all of the skills needed. In my resume I would simply list all of the qualifications and hopefully that would put me as a possible candidate for the internship.
