Well, my resume is in to the Phoenix Coyotes, but, unfortunately, the position has been filled. (Find the previous NHL Jobs post here) They were nice on the phone, which seem like the image the Coyotes project. Nice on the phone.
I guess we should take a look around the leagues, and see what else are out there.
Wow, mascot handler. What more could a person ask for in life? Sure, this is a necessary position, but who wants to stand next to the mascot, thinking, “Hey, I should be in that suit.” All you get to do is kick kids away from the mascot. At least that’s what I assume from this Yes/No question:
1. YES/NO I enjoy working with children.
Ummm….. No? I’m no good at these. If you are considering a new career with the Monarchs, just remember, this position has a pay rate of $30 per game. For 40 games. Wow.
The Monarchs are looking to fill many positions, so scroll around. Some of the Yes/No questions they will ask you:
1. YES/NO I perform well under pressure. (Game Assistant)
1. YES/NO I am outgoing and friendly (Game Night Promotions Team) If you think that guy at intermission throws t-shirts like a girl, show him whose boss.
1. YES/NO I am able to work 30-40 games (Merchandise Asst.)
Director of Business Operations – San Antonio Rampage (San Antonio, TX)
This looks like the catch all, does everything job. Everything business wise. I think the mascot job is still open.
Minimum Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:
There’s a whole lot of other things underneath, but I stopped reading. I must be overqualified, because I have more than a minimum of knowledge, skills and abilities. Sorry, guys, not for me.
Listed directly below that is a listing for Part-time Receptionist – Dallas Stars (Dallas, TX). I just find that strange.
Senior Vice President of Arena Business and Operations – Boston Bruins/TD Banknorth Garden (Boston, MA) This is more like it. Running the (TD Banknorth) Garden sound kick ass. How many times have Bruins fans have ranted that they could run that building better. How often has the conversation of how the (TD Banknorth) Gardens could be better been brought up in the bars of Boston. I think I am their man. Run the Garden, sure. Why not? It would be like everyday was my Christmas. But that stupid Yes/No question pops up:
1. Yes/No: I have at least ten (10) years management experience in all facets of arena operations and service.
I’d have to do a little fudging here. But the short answer, no. But how much could that matter?
Other Jobs:
Titans Ice Girls – Trenton Titans (Trenton, NJ) – There aren’t any Yes/No questions, but I can think of one that is pretty important
Athletic Trainer – Texas Wildcatters (Beaumont, TX)
Equipment Manager – Fresno Falcons (Fresno, CA)
This isn’t a hockey job, but bares mention.:
VERIZON SPORTS COMPLEX BOBSLED BRAKEMAN
This is for the Olympic Regional Development Authority in Lake Placid, NY. Sure, it’s not hockey, but what could be cooler at the bar? “What do I do? I’m a Bobsled Brakeman. Get me another beer.” What could be cooler? Well, mascot. That would be pretty cool.

Hi. Great idea using the abbreviations for the teams next to the bloggers. I’m going to use that and I’m going to give a shout out to you for the idea in my next post.
Don’t worry about credit, just do it. I got it from somewhere else, I can’t remember where.
Damn Yes/No questions!
Senior VP at TD Banknorth Garden would be a headache, but could you imagine…yeesh.
Why aren’t there job openings for cheerleader massage therapist? Damn!
Where are the N/A questions when you need them. Why don’t you just add the N/A as you apply for the job. Maybe the Yes/No means Yes you understand the question, or no you don’t understand the question. In that case I think you are probably qualified for all the jobs above and can apply in good conscious for any of the positions. Go get that Mascot job, sounds like just the job for someone as outgoing and business minded and talented as you.
my dad is a massage therapist and he can really relieve minor pains and injuries ;.-
