In this episode, I’m excited to take you behind the scenes of my experience at NFL Pro Day, held at the NFL headquarters in Inglewood, California. This event brought together journalism, communications, and TVFM students like myself who are eager to break into sports media. I’ll walk you through the highlights, starting with why I’m passionate about journalism and what drew me to this industry.

Throughout the episode, I share what I learned in workshops on resume building, crafting the perfect elevator pitch, and using ChatGPT to tailor resumes and prep for interviews. I also dive into a panel session with NFL professionals who gave a fresh look at career paths beyond the camera and shared whether a master’s degree is really necessary to succeed. And finally, I talk about the mixer, where I got one-on-one time with recruiters from big names in sports and picked up tips on networking and keeping LinkedIn up-to-date.

Whether you’re a journalism major, a sports media hopeful, or just curious about what it’s like inside the NFL’s headquarters, I hope you find some inspiration and practical advice in this episode!
