For Episode 42 of My First Job in Sports, we talked with Emily Montenegro from the United States Golf Association (USGA). The USGA is the national governing body for golf and the organization behind the U.S. Open and many other events. We met Emily at the Get in the Game Sports Business Career event in Baltimore. Emily is a great example for students, showing how they can secure a role in an industry that might not have been their initial goal. Although Emily is new to HR in the golf industry, she has used her previous experience to help her succeed in her current role. The USGA is adopting a new approach to filling various internship roles across golf. She also demonstrates that you don’t need to love or even be familiar with a sport to gain valuable experience and start your career on the right track. Emily offers plenty of advice for students entering the workforce. This is an episode you won't want to miss.
