INTRODUCTION

Hey there, Pathwayers! 👋

The end of any on-field season is a time of reflection. It’s a time to look back at the ups and downs - the adrenaline rushes, the heartbreaks, the successes, the failures, and what it has all culminated to. The end goal is of course about hardware won and business metrics met, but it’s also about those we do it with and the memories that are forged through the year.

Whether it's a colleague, a mentor, a collaborator, or a peer, the relationships you make at all levels of your career journey can lead to new opportunities down the road. As the prevalence of LinkedIn and other networking sites continues to rise, the barrier for aspiring professionals to get their foot in the door earlier is becoming easier.

And we want to help set you up for success.

In this issue, we’re revisiting a "Do This Now" article to share tactics that will help you nail your cold outreach and kickstart your networking capabilities. Plus, we gathered 20+ of the latest and most interesting soccer job openings currently on the market.

Happy reading!
