Admittedly, the golfsupport.com blog doesn't quite have the reputation of Forbes magazine when the latter comes around the corner with its rankings after months of research. But good: don't trust a survey that doesn't confirm exactly what we all know anyway. Tennis is not only extremely suitable for COVID and generally healthy, no, if you actively knock the balls around your ears, you also have the best chances when looking for a job (compared to other sports - a diploma from Harvard University could in real life Life worth more than a LB of 18).
Well, well: golfsupport.com asked 200 companies about their latest recruitment. And 68 percent of the newcomers had stated on their résumé that they actively practice a sport. Which one is ahead? Tennis. Otherwise we might even put on the cloak of silence over this survey.
Athletes have great qualities
Multiple answers were possible, but according to the results, 21 percent of the newly hired workers played tennis, 17 percent indulged in golf, and 14 percent reacted in the boxing ring.
What is interesting, however, are the reasons why people who do sport could have advantages in their applications: The factors mentioned were “team-oriented work approach”, “good communication skills”, “strategic planning skills”, “good time management” and “ambition”. Well, then: Put the LK in your résumé. Even if you studied at Harvard.
