hoo boy... Where are the pop-tarts? Am gonna watch this one...

 

Wow, I can attend football games. Sign me up. I also want to receive a full-time employment and looking to receive credits.

For some nagging reason, I'm think this company is based out of Bangalore.

But since there isn't any contact info, I'm out of luck. I'm not serious minded enough.

 

A few questions just off the top my head. I'm sure the rest of you have some others.

1. What's the company name?
2. Does it have a web address?
3. Where is it located?
4. Who should we contact?
5. Where is their contact information?
6.What's a football event? Is it like a baseball match?
7. How is this site going to survive with thousands of other sites just like it?
8. If you are NFL Draft Expert or College Scout why do you want to work for free?
9. What type of reputible sources would a freelancer be aligning themselves with, I mean considering it is a non-paying gig without any contact information?
10. If you are looking for the most-qualified people, to work for free, and know their role on the food chain, how do you expect that to work.
11. Video shoots?
12. What exactly is a well-known football company? I googled it and something for a Cleveland Women's Football Club showed up.
13. PLEASE READ: Why waste our time?

 

I usually just move on when I see these ads, but this one really struck me. It wants a lot of work for no compensation. Why are these even on this site? If the company is so well known, wouldn't it be to the company's advantage to use its name so people would at least think it's legit? Incredible.

 

14. If they are so good, can't they afford to pay?

 

Good question. Now granted, we don't want $100,000 a year for this (although it WOULD be nice), but a little compensation would be a good idea...

 

you get what you pay for

 

You could always try this.
