A few weeks into my internship I was walking outside to get lunch when I was hit with the realization that in four months it would be a new Sara walking the same streets looking for her lunch. It was the moment where everything sank in and I grasped the hard fact that there will …
One second you’re a bright eyed frosh and the next you’re graduated and on the job market. I normally love markets, but I can safely say this one isn’t my favourite. When I began searching for a job I had absolutely no idea just how difficult landing a job in the sports industry would be. …
