About The Author

 

Volume 1 – Prepare yourself for the toughest battle of your life.

 

I will start off by giving you a peek into my background and a bit of the back story in my endeavor to achieve a longtime goal of working within the NASCAR industry.

 

Folks let me start by saying this industry is tough and the weak will not survive.  So (no offense to the female gender it applies to both) MAN UP, it is gonna be a bumpy ride.

 

I have worked with entertainment agencies, media outlets, and business development for the past eight years.  I am NO ROOKIE to business but NASCAR will break you down and humble even the salty veteran.  Your Heart must be true, and you must be willing to lay everything on the line.  Make all of the sacrifices and be able to handle defeat like a champion.

 

I started my search about four years ago.  I began working toward learning about the movers and shakers in NASCAR, while continuing to work my full time job, and taking every opportunity to learn aspects of different fields that would increase my marketability.   I cannot stress enough how competitive this industry is.  Drivers, PR, Marketing, any position for any team, there are at least 500 resumes received by hiring managers each day.  Commitment to your goal, unwavering strength of character, nerves of steel, and a positive attitude are all very important to someone interested in obtaining a position within the industry and family of NASCAR.

 

Over the next few months I will be contributing to this Blog and taking all of my readers along with me in my endeavors to obtain a position.  We will suffer wins and defeats together and in the end we can celebrate together a position within a company or team that works in support of making this sport and way of life the ultimate fan experience.

 

So reach up and pull those seatbelts tight one last time, ladies and gentleman, let’s go hit the NASCAR pavement and talk to some folks about a job.
