Make the most of an internship with American Football Networks
American Football Network is offering unique internhips for the 2015-2016 academic year. Founded in 1988, the firm provides advertising, broadcast production, communication, education, event planning, franchise management, game-day operations, marketing, media & public relations services to the football industry and utilizes an average of 40 interns per semester, placing them in "real-life" work experiences that offer three to six academic credits but no monetary compensation.
Current graduate and undergraduate plus high school students are well aware of the job market that awaits them upon graduation. With the recessionary economy not under control and unemployment rates still high, graduate school, college and scholastic students across the county know that their dream jobs are no guarantee. There are steps to take that will make a candidate's resume more attractive to prospective employers, the primary of which is to develop a record of educational and work experience qualities through internships that are designed to provide entries into careers in the Football Industry.
American Football Networks renders advertising, broadcasting, consulting, events planning & implementation, franchise management, marketing & promotion, media & communications as well as public relations services to the Football Industry. The firm offers unique internship opportunities developed individually for college and graduate students who possess a passion for sports.
As valuable as a good internship can be, it may also prove a lost opportunity for students who do not recognize the opportunity. To make the most of an internship, grad, undergraduate and secondary school students should consider the following factors that are available from American Football Networks.
...
A. Find an internship that is the right fit: Some students accept an internship simply because it looks good on a resume. It is correct that an internship stands out to hiring personnel, but students must find the right fit to make the experience truly valuable. Students with a passion for football, should not simply settle on one because it is offered. Rather, they should select an unique internship program with American Football Networks that prepares them for entry into the Football Industry.
B. Treat the internship like a lucrative full-time position: Most interns in the Football Industry, including those gaining valuable work experience at the grass roots level with American Football Networks, do not get paid. Despite working long hours and wearing many hats for their employers. As difficult as it seems at times, interns should treat their internships as if they are getting paid lots of money. That means showing up on time, working hard, staying late if necessary and, most important, not complaining. Negative attitudes have no place in the Football Industry, from the playing to the front office as only positive people become winners. Interns with American Football Networks must remember that an internship is not a right but a privilege that can establish a foundation for a successful career.
C. Don't be pigeon-holed: Some internships are better than others and the best ones rotate interns throughout several divisions of the business. With American Football Networks, this allows interns to learn more than one aspect of the Football Industry, possibly helping one recognize an area they like most, as well as ones they would like to avoid when it comes time to job hunt.
D. Remember it's only temporary: Some interns love their internships and don't mind working free for long hours. As hard as it is to get out of bed and go to work (a national survey found over 85% of the nation's work force goes to a job they hate), remember an internship is only temporary. To satisfy your passion for sports, an intern must remain focused and take advantage of the academic and work experience options available with American Football Networks that generate valuable additions to the intern's resume.
The first step in the process of obtaining an internship with American Football Networks is to submit a resume plus a 300-word report setting forth what you want to be doing in the Football Industry in five and 10 years after graduation to: [email protected] -
American Football Network, established in 1988, offers internships for the Spring, Summer and Fall terms. For those candidates selected, the second segment is a direct interview to establish a unique "game-plan" for each internship. Contracts will be presented, reviewed and signed by the prospective intern and/or the faculty adviser and counter-signed by a representative of American Football Networks. This eliminates the possibility of wrong assumptions as to the requirements of both parties from the outset of the internship.
Third is the creation of unique internship plans that will be submitted to each candidate's faculty advisers so the internship program is accepted and course credits may be obtained. Since American Football Networks maintains exclusive football networks, media outlets in all 50 states plus departments in broadcasting & communications, event planning & administration, franchise management, marketing & sponsorships as well as media & public relations, the rookie interns will be assigned initially to projects that correlate with expressed preferences.

Since sports web design is as much a technical field as it is an artistic one, receiving the correct training is of the utmost importance. A typical web design program teaches how to use the following software: HTML (the basic computer language for creating web pages); PhotoShop, Illustrator and ImageReady (which are used to create images and animated graphics); web design programs such as FrontPage and Dreamweaver; Flash and Shockwave which are used to create animated sequences. It is also possible to complete some of this education through certificate training as well as developing expertise through an internship with diversified firms such as American Football Networks.
