Be a Teacher at Nike?


The point of this blog is to help you find jobs at places OTHER than Nike or Intel. However, I think this one is worth mentioning.

I spent 6 years at Nike and I continuously advise people that large, dynamic companies like Nike hire people for all sorts of positions. You don't have to be a salesperson or marketing whiz to work at Nike. Nike needs chefs, event planners, facilities managers, security guards, etc. In fact, during my tenure at the Swoosh they had multiple biologists on staff, studying the skin of amphibians. So don't count out a great employer just because your skill doesn't fit the stereotype.

Bringing this back full circle, Nike is aggressively hiring teachers! Thats right, the Nike campus in Beaverton hosts a child care and pre-school system with over 200 kids. In the next year, Nike's capacity for child development will more than double to 500 with the build out of a brand new state of the art facility.

Nike is putting on a virtual career fair for teachers on March 20th from 10am-5pm. The event will allow you to visit virtual "booths" to learn about the over 200 jobs at the Nike child development facilities. To learn more and register for the event, follow this link: http://tinyurl.com/33aqtg

So if you are already a teacher and are ready to explore the other opportunities the world has to offer, don't miss this event!
