Hi Deepak, jobs which requires you to demonstrate leadership and managerial traits, negotiating qualities etc are good. There is no specific job which is preferred. It is how you demonstrate your qualities fit for the role and program.

What type of professional experience required? Does it involve experience in sports based companies only or any company experience?
