MY CSL STORY
I’ve always known that I want to work in the sport industry. I’ve always been an active sort of person and I got involved in coaching netball in the last year or so. I do lots of other sports though and I am quite interested in working in one of those as well.
I know I want a job in sport, I just need a bit of help with the direction to take. I hear Careers in Sport and Leisure is a good place to get this kind of help so I’ll be going.
I wonder if going to university will give me the best chance, although everyone seems to go to university these days so will I have as good a chance of getting a good job by working my way up?
