Informational Interview
Hi Stella,
Thank you for taking the time today to share with me what it is like to work for the Philadelphia Eagles. Your story and your experience working in the sports industry brought to life everything I have been reading about careers in sports marketing - and dream of every Sunday when I watch the Eagles.
I will follow up with the two contacts you gave me, and I will keep you informed of my progress as my search proceeds. Thank you again. Go Birds!
Best,
Hooter T. Owl

Job Interview
Hi Sherlock,
Thank you for taking the time to discuss the Client Services and Operations Controller role with the Philadelphia Eagles. I enjoyed learning about the position and the dynamic back-office team.
The job is an excellent match for my experience and skills. With my work experience as an Operations Supervisor at Citizens Bank Park and leadership experience as the president of Temple’s Sports and Governance Association, I am a great fit for this program.
I appreciate the time you took to speak with me, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Please feel free to reach out if I can provide you with any further information.
Thank you,
Hooter T. Owl
