By pursuing a career in the baseball industry, I feel that I can accomplish both of these things. When I applied for this internship position with the Sussex County Miners, I did not have a clear vision of exactly what I hoped to learn from it, but as time went on, my vision became much clearer. Throughout the course of this internship I hope to continue to learn the essentials to becoming a successful worker in the baseball world\u2014no matter what the position. As an intern for the Miners, I am exposed to a number of different aspects of the job, whether it be contacting vendors to come advertise at games, contacting companies to make large group sales, working the box office, creating social media content, or working as a member of the promotions team. These various positions are helping me learn what qualities I must possess in order to be able to keep up in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Because I don\u2019t have one set idea on exactly what I want to do post-graduation, the knowledge I am gaining from this internship is opening my eyes toward the various positions that exist in the baseball industry, and is allowing me to get experience working each of them, which will undoubtedly influence the specific career path I choose to pursue in just less than a year.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-125 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2018\/06\/Wall_2-300x239.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2018\/06\/Wall_2-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2018\/06\/Wall_2-768x612.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2018\/06\/Wall_2-1024x816.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2018\/06\/Wall_2-624x497.jpg 624w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2018\/06\/Wall_2.jpg 1255w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-126 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2018\/06\/Wall_3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2018\/06\/Wall_3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2018\/06\/Wall_3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2018\/06\/Wall_3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2018\/06\/Wall_3-624x468.jpg 624w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2018\/06\/Wall_3.jpg 1295w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-127 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2018\/06\/Wall_1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2018\/06\/Wall_1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2018\/06\/Wall_1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2018\/06\/Wall_1-624x351.jpg 624w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2018\/06\/Wall_1.jpg 804w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Jillian Wall<br \/>\nStrategic Communication<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The two things I want most in life are simple: to be successful and to be happy.
