This episode explores the process of landing the job, which actually begins early in the college process. Topics include the importance of broad experiences as a college student, non-PXP responsibilities of working for a team, the importance of sales experience and how it can give you an edge against the competition (shhhh!), skills needed beyond play-by-play and fitting in to a team culture.
