ESPN.com and careerexperience.com are teaming
up to launch “Careers
in Sports,”
an online sports career site.
The site will be promoted by ESPN.com through an online/offline brand
building program, including a pop-up question banner ad program on ESPN.com,
ABCNEWS.com, NFL.com, and NBA.com, and print advertisements in ESPN The
Magazine through 1999. Spending plans were not disclosed.
The “Careers in Sports” section features profiles and interviews, as well as
features to help people determine if their skills and characteristics are
suited to a career in the sports industry. Additionally, online users can
access one-on-one career counseling.
“With the launch of Careers in Sports with ESPN.com, we have added
considerably to careerexperience.com’s ultimate career site,” said
careerexperience CEO Dan Steneker. “Our partnership with ESPN gives online
users access to the key players in the sports industry. Their professional
insights will help make our visitors’ dream sports careers a reality.”
The site also will offer networking opportunities, and access to the Monster.com job listing site.
