I must admit my newest endeavor is interesting and express that it makes me feel like a good tennis patron. Although the economy is tough on the rest of the job market I dont think it has hit the tennis industry too hard. My new site has caught the attention of two major tennis magazines and hopefully a few others will follow suit in order to draw more traffic to the site or bring in advertising revenue.Did you know that some tennis jobs offer benefits, salaries, meal plans, percentages of income, gauranteed working on court hours, medical plans, and a dental plan? I did not. I got curious recently and wanted to see what else was out there beyond the Gainesville scope. I began first looking throughout the United States and there is a lot out there but I am pretty much attached to Florida because the majority of my family is in the state and would like to stay here if possible.
So...I built a website called http://www.floridatennisjobs.com/ that any tennis players, pros, etc can view existing and open jobs and contact them. It is a combination of hotjobs, juju, careerbuilder, monster, PTR, USPTA, google searches, aol-jobs, tennisjobs.com, snoooz.com, and several other websites all onto one easy sight to navigate and view so you dont have to bounce around from site to site. Not every job is on this site, but I think a good amount are on there and if I am missing any please let me know. I believe this is one of the more selfless acts that I have done in tennis because it has not made me a profit yet, and I still have no plans for it except to hope it does pan out into something greater.
I do call or email to verify if the job is still open because there are a lot of job postings that have been filled, so that is one thing my site is on top of. Anywho, please take a look at the site, let me know if you know of any other openings and have a good one!
