What do you like about working at ESPN?

"I liked the environment of working around sports and the fast paced lifestyle of a live sports broadcast. It was always a run and gun type of operation where things needed to get done fast and effective, you didn't have a second chance to get it right. Since a lot of these productions were shot live, it was extremely important that your job role was understood and that you worked extremely hard to accomplish your specific task for the live broadcast. I enjoy sports in general, so it was a position that I was passionate about and every live broadcast brought something new to the job. It was fast paced and you always had to stay on your toes. That is something I enjoy. It is a fast paced environment where you need to act and react quickly and efficiently."
