19 th Annual PBEO Job Fair

GAYLORD OPRYLAND RESORT & CONVENTION CENTER

For more information or to register, visit www.PBEO.com

PBEO Job Fair...The 2012 PBEO® Job Fair will be held in the Governors Ballroom section at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, Tenn., December 2-5.

The Job Fair is an annual feature of the Baseball Winter Meetings™. This is a great opportunity to meet with representatives from professional teams, interview on-site and choose from a variety of positions.

Get in on the ground floor and build your future by attending baseball’s most popular meeting and seminar to find YOUR job in professional baseball.

The Job Fair provides registrants a look at the business of professional baseball, as well as an excellent opportunity to find employment. On average, 450-550 jobs are posted annually at the Job Fair.

Many of these jobs are internships and entry-level positions. However, some positions are for those with prior baseball experience or a related background looking for the next challenge. Most Minor League Baseball™ and Major League Baseball teams will be hiring for positions beginning in January 2013. Therefore, it is preferable for attendees to have graduated college by December 2012.

For those of you who are not graduating until May 2013, make sure to focus on Short-Season Minor League Baseball clubs, as they do not start play until June and therefore typically start their new-hires later in the year. For a list of these clubs, please visit the classification page on www.MiLB.com.

For more specifics on the Job Fair, please visit www.PBEO.com/12_jf_gen_info.aspx.
