This week in GlobalSportsJobs' BRAZIL 3-SIXTYº series with adidas Group Blog , we meet Sibylle Kleer, or Billy as she is known to her friends.
When asked what she was going to do with her sports studies qualification,she is now able to say " land a dream kick-off for my career, as an adidas PR Trainee ."
With a passion for football, working on World Cup Projects is a dream come true. She has the responsibility to liaise with the media and provide information about all the adidas World Cup products such as brazuca , the official World Cup football.
As good as all of this sounds, Billy's job has some even better perks too...
GlobalSportsJobs asked Billy: ' The PR trainee position when advertised must have been very competitive; what experiences have you gained and what characteristics do you possess that made you stand out from the crowd and land this role?'
"I think what a PR Trainee needs is a suitable and international academic background, a personality that matches the team and the role and – most important – the passion for sports. Having studied Sports Management and Sports Communication including a semester abroad in Australia, the first aspect was a good fit. Furthermore, I had been an active football player for most of my life, a coach for a couple of years and sports has always been very important to me, so the passion part was easily answered as well. Apart from that, I managed to convince my managers that I am a good team player, love the field of communication and was eager to gain new skills with this position. Luckily enough, I already knew the team because I had been an intern within adidas PR before and this gave me the confidence I needed in the application process."
