[font=Helvetica, Arial, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif]I'm trying to get a gig with Nike, it will be hard as hell, but i've got great experience and solid connections, they have a dept. mainly focused in music marketing, basically getting product placement in videos, etc. Thats where I want to be. Just thought I'd post, if anyone is interested in working for Nike. Nice little read.[/font]

Good luck man. That would be every dude on this board's dream to be working for the swoosh. I had two friends that interviewed up in Oregon. One was a Duke grad that was on the golf team & another interviewed for the design dept (I think...). Both made it a road trip to check out campus & everything. I do know someone in the medical field, that last I heard is working with Nike possibly in orthotics. But not sure now. Anyways good luck.

They have a Senior Financial Analyst job opening at the Nike regional office down the street from my house. I would totally apply if I didn't have a great job already. I'm trying to get my friends to apply so I can get hook ups....lol

@bryants8to24 i appreciate that man, I got alot of people trying to get me in there, I've also had a chat with a previous Nike marketing manager, she left in like 2004, but I found her on LinkedIN and reached out, she loved my story and what ive been doing with my jewelry company ( @rocspebbles ) and my marketing/PR experience, so im working hard to get in there for sure.

So I got 2 responses from 2 different NIke execs on this job, they were both very kind and informed that the position received a ton of interest, and they forwarded my email onto the appropriate HR person for the gig. I actually emailed Marc the guy in that interview, he got back to me as well.
Its just nice to know that when you have experience and you present yourself on a corporate level, they will respect you and answer back....
