Good luck to all those that apply. I dont have any retail experience so that'd be a mark against me when it comes to being compared to folks that do. Plus, I'm not hungry for it so I wouldn't give it my all.

If my situation was not as good as it is now, I would be all over this.

Okay, I have to at least ask.....any idea what an EKIN makes?
 
Rock, does Nike inc. do internships much. Possibly in the marketing field?

They do, but from what I understand you have to apply about a semester or year in advance. Most internships are done locally however.

Its rare they do local one's but there is a Nike office from what I hear on Capitol Hill somewhere, so you could check the Nikebiz site for that...

^^^It's still up there. I actually applied for this position last year for the Philly area and was asked for a final interview in NYC. Unfortunately I didn't get it. Rock I'd def like to give you a call and pick your brain about a few things. Right now I'm in the same boat as rstansbury with a pretty good job but honestly there's nothing I'd want more than a job with Nike.

The industry we are in is a good one to be in right now.

That being said, I have dreamed of working for Nike for years, but I have already done the "dream job for not much money" thing, and while it was a great experience I have to stick with what will pay the bills as I am about to be a married man. Best of luck to everyone who applies.
 
Stans.. I am with you... for some this could be a pay hike.. but I am not sure for those who are established.

This is the reason I never took a Regular Position with Nike before. I wasn't leaving what I took 15 years to put together in this area.

Although there was a time when you had to be in the Nike system for years to get a good position, but now, they are in a position where they need people with good ideas and great execution.

The Basketball Industry specifically has been on a downturn overall at ALL brands, so Nike has to step it up to stay ahead with New Product that is relevant and to Market it in such a way that the kids and other consumers of today have their own identity instead of JUST the retro attachment which will always be around.

As for the link.. just go to Nikebiz.com folks. its there Im sure still.
