Meet Esther Micheau, a student in sports management and completing her work-study program at FAST SPORT as a marketing and sales assistant. She tells us how Global Sports helped her find this opportunity.
"When I discovered Global Sports, I found a platform that allowed me to apply for many offers and track them in real time. I was therefore able to choose the company that suited me best: Fast Sport."
After registering for my master's degree, I was looking for a work-study program in sports marketing. I then registered on a few platforms and applied for several offers in different places. I had to create an Excel spreadsheet to track everything. When I discovered Global Sports, I found a platform that allowed me to apply for many offers and track them in real time. I was therefore able to choose the company that suited me best: Fast Sport.
I was able to refine my searches based on several criteria such as the role I was looking for (e.g. marketing, sponsorship, PR), the specific sports sector (club, federation, agency, media, etc.) and keywords.
The navigation on the site was fluid and intuitive. From the home page, you can easily find the space to do your research and your personal space to follow the current applications.
What really contributed to my efficiency in my job search were the advanced filters offered by the platform. I was able to refine my searches according to several criteria such as the function I was looking for (for example, marketing, sponsorship, PR), the specific sector of the sport (club, federation, agency, media, etc.) and keywords, in my case: "alternation". This allowed me to precisely target the offers that corresponded to my needs and my professional objectives. This prevented me from wasting time browsing ads that did not fully interest me.
From my personal account, I could follow my current applications. This made my search for an internship much simpler. I was also able to save searches to receive regular notifications on job offers corresponding to my search.
"Global Sports really allowed me to identify and apply for work-study offers in the sports sector that matched my expectations and professional aspirations."

In addition, I play an important role in managing relationships with our training customers.
