There is a lot of competition out there.  Jason specializes in helping job-hunters gain an edge by <strong>developing a personal brand</strong> and <strong>utilizing social media</strong> to effectively promote themselves to prospective employers.

He spent seven years with <strong>Steiner Sports Marketing</strong> in New Rochelle, NY.  There, he worked <strong>closely with hundreds of professional athletes</strong>, helping them <strong>market their personalities</strong>for speaking engagements, and their memorabilia to private collectors.  Jason also promoted the Steiner Sports brand by developing and implementing successful campaigns through both traditional and social media.  His work appeared on <strong>WFAN</strong>,<strong>ESPN Radio</strong>, in the <strong>New York Post</strong> &amp; <strong>Daily News</strong> and served as a Steiner Brand Ambassador during appearances on the <strong>YES Network</strong> and <strong>WPIX</strong>.  He founded <strong>The Steiner Sports Blog</strong> and wrote for <strong>Yankee Legacy Magazine</strong>, a promotional publication sent to Yankees Ticket Holders.

Jason is still a consultant with Steiner Sports, assisting with advertising initiatives and hosting athlete Meet &amp; Greet events with players like <strong>Derek Jeter</strong> and <strong>Curtis Granderson</strong>.

Prior to joining Steiner Sports, Jason worked for <strong>College Bound Sports</strong> and helped aspiring high school athletes market their skills to college recruiters.  He wrote a book called, “The High School Athlete’s Guide to College Sports,” sharing many of the same promotional secrets he now passes along to first-time job-hunters.
