On May 8th 2020, over 500 people took part in the first virtual iWorkinSport Job Fair, allowing recruiters from several of the world’s most prestigious sports organisations to meet and interview new talent from Europe’s leading sports management programmes during the COVID-19 crisis.
Representatives from the International Olympic Committee, FIFA, FIBA, adidas and football clubs FC Internazionale Milano and Juventus FC, among others, welcomed over 400 prospective employees to their booths during the eight-hour event on 8 May.
Initially scheduled to take place in person at the SwissTech Convention Centre in Lausanne, Switzerland, the job fair was moved online at short notice due to travel and social-distancing restrictions brought about by the coronavirus pandemic.
In addition to having the opportunity to pose questions to recruiters, present their CVs and participate in video interviews, job seekers could also attend company presentations in the virtual auditorium. Taking centre stage throughout the day were Juventus FC, Horizm, Columbia Sportswear, Outdooria, Soccerex, Teqball, World Football Summit, and adidas. Attendees also watched a keynote speech by Jair Bertoni, Director Member Associations Americas at FIFA.
