Joseph’s Answer

Greetings! I've discovered my employment opportunities primarily through online searches and networking. If you're considering an online search, I recommend initiating your hunt around April. This is typically when many school-based positions start advertising their vacancies, often continuing into May. There are numerous rewarding roles available where you can potentially spend your entire career.

In my personal experience, I've exclusively worked for or interviewed with companies specializing in Physical Therapy/Athletic Training or hospitals. The procedure usually involves an initial interview, potentially followed by a second round, before an offer is extended. Unfortunately, I can't provide firsthand information about breaking into the professional sports or entertainment sectors. Hopefully, someone else can shed some light on that process.

Joseph recommends the following next steps:

Create a LinkedIn and search for Athletic Trainers to follow and build a network.
