Work in football. How to find it?

We are just all sick football! That is why you are on our site right this second. Any football fan, watching his team, at least a couple of times in his life in my thoughts allowed: "I would do better," and it could, maybe to the head coach, maybe to the breeding service, and maybe to marketing Department and even to the Club Managing. And it could be quite related to the local regional football federation or to the amateur football tournament, in which this fan has played. But in open access it is quite difficult to understand how it is to find Work in football. What is needed for this, which steps need to be done, to whom to call where to go – and so on.

The football sphere in the XXI century is just a huge Mahina both economically and socially. It is very difficult to compare "football" with any other sphere, although often journalists are trying to squeeze a tear on it. It is hardly a conditional leader of the Department of Metallurgical Plant will experience pressure from the press for the foremented brigade on the work shift, and some girl manager for public relations from the conditional design bureau can allow up to 10 errors in the press release, and then a year later Fix – and no one will see. Not! Football is a rapid boiler in which emotions will be buried literally at every step. It is just necessary to take it, and immediately certainly and unconditionally, and all your activities in the football field will go through such a coordinate system.

So, you decided to find a job in football, let's discuss how to do it. But before we will determine: Most likely, you are not the son of the mother's friend of the President of the Club, not a brother-sht-acrobat, otherwise you yourself know what to do (to use, however, will be not enough – proven by experimental way). Well, we do not call our material by the guide to solve all questions. It is still always and everything depends on human qualities everywhere, but we will try to make a useful refillament from our experience and opinions of experts.

Methods

In fact, there are no secrets here (yes, you can close the tab with the site). Technically, the search for work in football is especially no different from everyone else, but there are a number of steps, which, in our opinion, must be done.

1. Mentally prepare yourself. Do not be surprised: one thing is a rotary side on the couch after watching the Champions League to imagine, whatever the specialist will come out; Quite another thing is to be honest and frankly tell yourself that you really want it. Your way to football is likely to be covered with difficulties, misunderstanding from relatives and small earnings (especially at the first time).So look at the mirror again, think! Love for football is the beacon that will be reset in difficult moments, but if this is not love, and the preliminary caress, then open the beer one more jar and stroll with a neighbor as "our again is not a fountain."
2. Register your competences. Do not be afraid: Even if you are already reading this article, then at least a pair of skills possess – read and use the browser. Take a piece of paper and write out that you can and what you like. "Footbal Engine" approximately throwing out what skills you are most likely possessing (well, yes, we analyze our website and public and about knowing who comes to us): write good texts, search for the necessary information, business letters or office work , at least one foreign language, use social networks (ridiculous? No, really in some professional clubs there are specialists without this skill), learn from the manager, moving a square, rolling round, know how to make souvenirs from simple things, at least once conducted an event with school Benches and much more.
3. Learn daily. Do not stop: This item is a continuation of the previous one. By choosing 3-4 competencies that you like and which you do better neighbor on the entrance, you need to improve them. Courses mass, free including. For example, for breeders and future managers we have Updating online course "Scout Scout". Below we give a number of real examples, as people were able to find a job in clubs, learning to make certain things better than the rest. But even if you do not consider yourself a new subsidiary or EUMENOV, we can open one insider: for most PNL and PFL clubs, and regional federations soccer even write a business letter or make a commercial offer – this is a problem! And to organize an event for fans for 0 rubles, make a meeting in VKontakte, set up Target in Facebook or lay out the video on YouTube is a pain, painful point, it's hard for them. But this chance For you. And we smoothly go to the next item.
4. Analyze pain points of Russian football. Do not be limited: This is a complex point. To fully give a response, you need to really expand your understanding and horizons. Signally speaking, if you grew up in a gray five-story building without a garbage disposal, it will be difficult for you to understand how to improve the work of the 4-star hotel. An example of a personal life, painful, but understandable, right?) You need to go to stadiums, you need to watch broadcasts, you need to follow the best accounts from the world of sports, you need to constantly think, dream and record ideas. Looking at the world wide, you will see, in what places you are interested in the club sends. No dullness from our side, believe me! Most likely, he seeks due to limited resources, but your proposal to solve the problem can be your ticket World of Football.How to make and compose it? We have already discussed this at our marketing event, and we will continue to discuss and help young applicants.
5. Get up and do it. Do not slow down, do not delay the decision, do not throw the dream into the closet: re-read paragraph number 1 again, the love of football will help you out even in the most difficult moments, if you were honest to him and to yourself. After completing steps 2 and 4, make a selection of 50 organizations associated with football (these are not only football clubs, these are also regional federations, these are commercial tournaments, these are children's football schools) and located geographically near you, as well as another 30 organizations who you could help remotely (don't forget to include "Footballology" there, we always need helpers). Be prepared to work hard, learn football from the inside and don't expect a lot of money. We can say this: you can get into almost any professional club as a volunteer or a steward, as well as for an internship for low-skilled work (internships in more important specializations can be organized by Futbolologika). Once in the inner sphere, draw knowledge (see point 4), look around and prove yourself. Do the specific task assigned to you responsibly, clearly follow the instructions, report honestly and offer at least a small improvement. This will be your first step.

Good and not so good examples

“How will I get a job in your club?”, “What vacancies are there?”, “Take me on staff”, “I want to work for you” – these are stop words, after which irritation from the employer is provided to you. Not at all because soulless creatures are sitting there, but because with these phrases you force people to do a number of actions, namely, to answer you with a request to send a resume, think for you, and where to attach. This is ineffective, although in our practice it happened when a person was taken from scratch like this, and he turned out to be useful (but these are still exceptions to the rules).

As we recommend. Read the quote from our alumnus Nikita Mishchenko below (in full here):

– About 3 months passed between the end of the course and work at Tosno. During this period of time, I managed to work at the Confederations Cup and at FC Dynamo-SPb. I think that without these important links in the chain, I would not be where I am now. I got to Tosno at the end of August 2017. My position sounds like this – a manager for working with partners and sponsors of the club, but in fact the scope of my duties is much wider. How did this option come about? Representatives of the club approached me and offered to have an interview. At that time, I had already been working at Dynamo-SPb for two months, where I was involved in Nikita Kovalchuk's Yatrener project. After two interviews at Tosno, I was offered a full-time job.

Now, of course, it sounds ridiculous after the disappearance of both mentioned clubs, but let's consider the principle. After completing the course, Nikita issued a motivation letter and got an internship at Dynamo-SPb with a brand promotion project among football bloggers.After 2 weeks, he returned with the analysis and ready-made fact that negotiations with Kovalchuk. The story further you probably know. In Dynamo-SPb, it was an option to remain as a project manager, but as soon as a well-paid vacancy appeared in "Tosno", then, of course, no obstacles to.

Our friends from St. Petersburg State University were sincerely surprised when their fellow students Alexander Novuelik suddenly began to work in Zenit. This has already become known how long and patiently he walked to this, but the fact itself is amazing: I learned that the Italian Luciano, Splletti graduate of the classical gymnasium and the philological faculty of St. Petersburg State University arrived in the specialty of the Portuguese teacher rushes to study Italian and in a couple of months becomes the translator of the main coach. Now this is an asterisk of the Russian coaching shop, which only positive feedback.

In February 2018, a very important speaker arrived in St. Petersburg for the next event "Football": we agreed for a long time, and this is a great success that he managed to jump to us after the next fees.

So the career began a better press attache in Russia, and perhaps in Eastern Europe Stanislav Merkis (Google will tell you everything about him). There are no ranks and regalia, "Golden Feather" or "Silver Kees"; But much more important is that he became the one who became from an ordinary guy, the same as we, who just wanted to get to the club and found his way.
