If not. Do it. Start with part 1. <br> <br> <br> <br> After this series is complete we’ll get right back into our weekly sports industry interviews -- with a returning champion, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynchjoan/">Joan Lynch</a>. Joan is the Chief Content Officer for WorkingNation, which means she studies the job market and has incredible advice. <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.workinsports.com/blog/joan-lynch-the-future-of-sports-employment-work-in-sports-podcast/">Her first podcast episode</a>, last year at this time, was one of our most popular of all-time. Like, way more downloads than <a href="https://www.workinsports.com/blog/nfl-agent-leigh-steinberg-on-the-work-in-sports-podcast/">Leigh Steinberg</a>, but not quite as many as <a href="https://www.workinsports.com/blog/mailynh-vu-cleveland-indians-director-of-talent-acquisition-work-in-sports-podcast/">Mailynh Vu</a>. Which puts her in rockstar status. <br> <br> <br> <br> We’ve already recorded this interview and I have to say, I think it’s some of our best work -- Joan knows her stuff, and I get all fired up, and then she brings insightful data, and I rant and rave -- we are like a perfect yin and yang. So plan on tuning in, next Wednesday.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Alright… let’s get into <br> <br> <br> <br> The stat line…<br> <br> <br> <br> The total number of jobs on WorkInSports.com -- the number one job board for the sports industry -- 17,286 -- pretty much flat week over week.<br> <br> <br> <br> We added 2,093 new jobs in the last week, an average of 299 fresh sports jobs per day during the last week. That’s a lot of fresh activity. <br> <br> <br> <br> Three cool jobs -- <br> <br> <br> <br> #1<br> <br> <br> <br> The South Carolina Stingrays are hiring a Marketing Coordinator - great entry-level job  -- I’ll wait a few seconds for you all to google search to figure out what sports the South Carolina Stingrays play. <br> <br> <br> <br> If you guessed Minor League Baseball as I did, you’d be wrong, this is an ECHL hockey team - minor league sports are a great career starter, check this one out.<br> <br> <br> <br> Go, Jamie Harrison! <br> <br> <br> <br> #2<br> <br> <br> <br> The Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs are hiring a Director of Digital Media and Communications -- The Iron Pigs President and GM Kurt Landes was on this show...and the Iron Pigs, the Triple-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies are just 20.8 miles from my house. So if you get this job, let’s hang out.
