Summary: <br> Hey everybody - I’m Brian Clapp VP of Content and Engaged Learning at <a href="http://workinsports.com">WorkInSports.com</a> and this is the Work In Sports podcast.<br> <br> <br> <br> Show note -- as you likely suspected, there will not be a show on Wednesday. My game plan for this week is to work a full day today, half-day tomorrow, bake pies all day Wednesday, eat pies all day Thursday, and then sleep all day Friday. <br> <br> <br> <br> For those of you wondering -- yes, I am the chef in our house - that is actually one of my other passions. I’m like an onion with multiple layers, in addition to sports fanaticism and podcast hosting, I am also an organic gardener who really really likes to cook. <br> <br> <br> <br> So yes, lots of pies, lots of food, lots of cooking in the next few days… no new episode on Wednesday.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Alright - let’s get to the stat line!<br> <br> <br> <br> Three data points to help you understand what’s happening in the sports industry, and three cool active jobs on our job board at WorkInSports.com.<br> <br> <br> <br> #1 -- 17,011 active jobs currently on WorkInSports.com - the leading job board for the sports industry. That’s down about 2% from last week, but that is a minor dip considering it’s the holiday season. Did I mention I’m making pies?<br> <br> <br> <br> #2 -- 1,526 new jobs added this week -- quick scan, seeing a lot of lifestyle brands that are hiring right now, Adidas, Nike, new balance, Skechers -- makes sense right? Big time of year for product companies. I think my favorite pie is Pecan Pie. <br> <br> <br> <br> #3 -- An average of 218 jobs added to our site every damn day of the last week. I’ll also be making a classic pumpkin pie and a chai spiced apple pie with bourbon whipped cream. See if I can get the kids a little tipsy. I’m kidding! <br> <br> <br> <br> Do you have a favorite pie?<br> <br> <br> <br> Before I get into my three favorite jobs of the week -- I just mentioned all the reasons a membership to WorkInSPorts.com makes sense -- 17000 jobs, over 200 added each day etc etc… let me add one more. Our Black Friday deal! You can get a three-week membership for just $5 -- that’s our best discount of the year. 83% off the regular cost.<br> <br> <br> <br> Head to <a href="https://www.workinsports.com/promo/blackfriday.asp">https://www.workinsports.com/promo/blackfriday.asp</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Ok, three amazing, cool, incredible new sports internships for this week -- aha, you thought I was going to say jobs. No, this week, I’m going to focus on some internships because this is the time of year you should be prepping for your spring internships. <br> <br> <br> <br> Internship #1 - Amateur Scouting intern with the Tampa Bay Rays -- I get asked all the time, how do I become a scout, well, often a lot of scouts are retired players or former lower-level coaches. In lieu of that -- how about an internship in Amateur Scouting with one of the best in Major League Baseball the Rays? Yeah, I thought that might excite you.<br> <br> <br> <br> Internship #2 - TV Broadcast Intern for the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters -- which if you didn’t already know is a collegiate summer league baseball team. Again, I get asked a lot about how to get play-by-play broadcasting experience -- well, in this internship you’ll be the play-by-play voice for 36 home games on the Northwoods league TV network. That is the experience you need if you dream of working in play by play.<br> <br> <br> <br> And internship #3 -- I always talk about your high-/evel strategy for internships should be - complete at least two during your college career, hopefully, more, and make one at a big company with high name recognition, and one at a smaller company where you’ll be forced to do more. Well,
