FBCP Episode 77 – 5 Tips to Get a Football Coaching Job Interview with Chris Fore

Chris Fore from CoachFore.org joins us again on this episode of The Football Coaching Podcast. Coach Fore is an expert in helping coaches improve their resume, apply and interview for Coaching and Athletic Director positions.

This week we’re talking about the time between sending in your resume, and actually getting that first interview. The job search never has a more agonizing time period. You feel like your future is completely out of your hands.

Coach Fore is going to give you some actionable steps to take during this time period that can help you move your resume from the “No” or “Maybe” pile to the “Yes!” pile in time for the first round of interviews.

Those tips will include…

1. Sticking to the instructions on the job posting. Failure to follow directions is a surefire way to get your resume in the “Round File”.
2. Including an introduction when you email your resume.
3. Keeping it brief… you have 45-60 seconds to impress!
4. Following up with a 2nd email or phone call if you don’t hear back
5. Getting your name to stand out when you have no name recognition
