Getting The 411


I met with Katrina, who is part of the career services staff, on Tuesday September 4. She had her meeting with the woman that will be my supervisor over with the Fayetteville Guard to find out more information on what I will be doing. I have to return to Katrina today to fill out paper work so I can get started work with the Guard. Katrina told me that she had spoken to the women who is soon to be my supervisor about myself and telling her how I work with a minor league baseball team and the women said she is ready for my help. Katrina had little bit of information about what I will be doing, she told me I will get to help with setting up promotion, working with some of the guard players, and little advertising.
