Oliver Turner was a die-hard football fan who aspired to work in football but had no idea where to begin. He lacked any guidance, experience or confidence and had no idea how to market himself to prospective employers within the game. Following a referral and constant engagement with social media, he turned to Jobs4Football, the football career service that specialises in assisting their registered community in finding football jobs.
With the assistance of Jobs4football consultants, Oliver was able to improve his CV content and structure to make himself look more appealing to potential recruiters. However, the game changer was the hints/tips given to effectively market himself on LinkedIn, which subsequently enabled him to network with potential employers and gain industry visibility via role specific content.
Within 3 weeks of adopting the changes and further ongoing support, Oliver was able to land his first job as a scout with North East Northern Premier Club South Shields, an ambitious full-time club and his first assignment would be at St Georges Park
Oliver was simply overjoyed to gain an opportunity and never expected it to arrive so quickly. Most importantly he had that first step on the football career ladder and there is no doubt he will strive from strength to strength.
Jobs4Football not only assisted Oliver in finding his first football job but also provided him with the necessary guidance, resources and direction. Importantly he was able to overcome his own mental block and challenges and take the first step toward realising his dream of working in football on a full time basis.
We look forward to following Oliver's career and working with him in the future as he builds his football career.
