The 2010 Winter Olympics have finally come to a close, but watching hours of world-class athletes compete may have inspired you to hit the slopes skiing, watch more hockey games, or even start training for a sport. If you’ve caught the Olympic bug (and even if you’re not Shaun White), rest assured that there are plenty of ways to move forward in a new career, or your current one.
If you like to be so close to the athletes that you can smell sweat at game time, you can check out referee or umpire jobs as well as coaching jobs to help athletes compete to their best and within the rules. People who want to work to keep the athletes in tip-top shape should browse athletic trainer jobs or even sports medicine jobs, which have increased 70% since last year and can earn you a pretty penny.
For people who prefer to be more on the event coordination side of athletics, you can still find media relations jobs, marketing and promotion jobs where you will work with media outlets such as newspapers, television stations and online producers to cover the events, as well as promote the events to the general public. Want to be behind the scenes? View entertainment jobs such as writers, directors and producers.
If you call the snow “home,” there are thousands of ski resort jobs available and one might just tickle your fancy. Those more experienced to the slopes could apply for ski and snowboard instructor jobs to teach anyone new skiers or boarders to ride.
Whether you have the Olympic dream, or just want to find your dream job, Simply Hired can help you in your job search!
