Good morning. It’s June 20, 2017 and this is your your first early morning Jobs briefing!


3 tips on managing up comes to us today from Tina Tung-Barisic,  Executive Director of Marketing,  The Dr. Oz Show
 
  • When your supervisor poses a question or asks you to work on a project, make it an immediate priority.  Respond promptly and even if you don’t have an answer yet, let him or her know that you are working on one ASAP.
  • Don’t be a yes man (or woman).  If you disagree with your supervisor on an issue, speak up but also have a clear reason for why you have a difference in opinion.  Even if they are initially unhappy that you are not on board, in the long run, they will respect you more for speaking your mind and having your own perspective.
  • When faced with a problem, don’t march into your boss’s office and blurt out the issue.  Think through possible solutions and scenarios.  Do research to see if those scenarios are viable.  Then,  armed with that knowledge, present the problem and offer choices for solutions. 

Please take the time to complete this brief, 4-question survey about your company’s benefits by this Friday, June 23. All responses are kept confidential. Results will be presented in a special edition before the end of the summer. If you’d like to subscribe to our quarterly job reports, please visit our website. To thank you for your time, respondents can enter to win a $50 Starbucks gift card.

Esports, also known as competitive video gaming, is exploding, and with that growth comes a need for skilled professionals. Each week, we’re looking at a different catgory of employer in this burgeoning business. 
 
This week: The Tournament Organizers. One of the things that make esports unique is that there are many video games to play and many tournament organizers for each title. The big organizers will often have tournaments for a variety of games, offering up plenty of available esports jobs. The main organizers to follow in North-America are ESL, DreamHack and the Collegiate StarLeague. These jobs are often a good steppingstone for traditional sport employees looking to move into esports, particularly people with a background in organizing sports events.
