For Student Athletes

The GRN Coastal College Hire program for student Athletes is called Athletes Edge.

College Athletes are a very attractive hiring pool and GRN Coastal brings forth your qualities in a way that emphasizes the benefits learned through athletic participation. We help you present these skills differently to a prospective employer. We advise you and provide a playbook to guide you for business world success by providing a series of services. We provide students with a FREE resume critique and review. We also provide you with opportunities to submit to our top clients that have real immediate needs.

Athletes Edge is all about getting you into the professional workforce. We help student athletes get their first job after the games are over at fantastic companies. We help you prepare for the workforce by becoming your career coach and connecting you with our clients that are looking for former athletes because they recognize the value you will bring to their organization based on your inherent abilities as an athlete.

We can get you back into the game with real opportunities. As former athletes, we get it. This is a no cost advisory service that we provide graduating student athletes; our clients pay us to deliver them top student athletes.

Our program is very simple. In dialogue with Executives at the NCAA, it was felt that this advisory service could be very helpful to student athletes. Why… because we recruit, connect and place college athletes in top companies throughout North America. We do this via a streamlined process which accelerates the student athletes search by preparing them for the workforce and connecting them with companies that seek their skillset.

While searching for a job online, sending applications to posted positions and handing out resumes at job fairs may seem like time well spent, we bring solutions that get you quick traction. Some of these our service via Athletes Edge includes:

1. Resume critique: We know what companies look for; We interview you, understand your strengths, interests and most importantly your intangibles such as time management skills, leadership, determination, focus, team attitude, competitiveness, accountability and discipline and craft it into a resume that speaks to the needs of industry. We turn a blah resume into a real eye catcher that will stand out, and we know our clients will love. We give you the Edge.
