Sports industry resume template

Henrietta is the conventional business layout of the seven, with a left-aligned name, black and grey rules and education right after experience. Front offices are sales and operations businesses, and that order lets a sport management degree or a game-day internship sit next to the jobs instead of at the foot of the page.

Second choice: Leslie. Leslie also puts experience first but adds a centred blue header, a little colour for clubs and agencies with a lively brand.

Henrietta template details and test results

Henrietta prints its sections in a fixed order, the same in the PDF and the Word file. Here is that order for this sample, and what to put in each section.

1. Professional Summary. Name the side of sport you work in (ticketing, partnerships, operations, athlete services, communications, compliance) and the level: professional club, minor league, college, governing body, youth or community sport. A sports employer reads for business evidence, so say which revenue or which events you answer for.
2. Work Experience. Write in the units a front office reports: ticket and sponsorship revenue, renewal rate, attendance, per-capita spend, events run, partners managed. Game-day operations count as experience too, so give dates worked, crowd sizes and what you were in charge of.
3. Education. Henrietta prints this right after the jobs. Sport management, business and communications degrees are common; add an internship with a team or athletics department in the detail line, because many clubs hire from their own interns.
4. Skills. The grid has no labels, so put revenue skills (sponsorship sales, inventory valuation, hospitality packages) in the first column, the CRM and ticketing systems in the second, and how you work on event days in the third.
5. Volunteer work. Volunteer work at races, tournaments or adaptive sport events is real evidence in this field. Keep each line to the event, your role and its size.

The same content as the files above, so you can copy a line or compare it with your own.

• Leaving out unpaid event work when it is your main sports experience; volunteer and internship hours count here.
