Working in the sports industry has been a dream of mine ever since I was a kid, and now that I get the opportunity to intern with a professional team. I am thrilled to learn what it\u2019s like working in sports. During my time here with the Royals, I hope to get a feel for what the atmosphere is like around the offices and around the arena on a daily basis. Are the people that work here sports fanatics? Is the setting any different from a typical office job? Is this the type of environment I would want to work in for the rest of my life? These are all questions I believe I can get an answer to while working for the Royals this summer. Hopefully, this will help me determine if a lifelong commitment to the sports industry aligns with my career aspirations and passions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s5\"><span class=\"s4\">Another goal of mine this summer is to determine if a sales job could be a good fit for me in the future. Within the past year, I\u2019ve been told twice that I sound like I could be in sales. Once at the career fair this past spring, and again at an interview for an internship position with the University of Scranton athletic department. Sure enough, I was able to land this internship with the Reading Royals, as a ticket sales and sponsorship intern. Not only will I get a feel for what it\u2019s like to work in sports as I mentioned earlier, but I will also get to learn and apply my skills of being a sales representative. The sales knowledge I gain from this internship will hopefully open more possibilities for my future and allow me to improve my overall people skills. I am excited about this opportunity and I believe the experience I gain from this internship will greatly contribute to my professional growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-516\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2023\/06\/A5E230B9-78FC-4EC5-A152-960AD9FF9CA4-297x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"297\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2023\/06\/A5E230B9-78FC-4EC5-A152-960AD9FF9CA4-297x300.jpeg 297w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2023\/06\/A5E230B9-78FC-4EC5-A152-960AD9FF9CA4.jpeg 639w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 297px) 100vw, 297px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-517\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2023\/06\/857BE690-221E-4AA4-83DA-83139FEB2391-274x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"274\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2023\/06\/857BE690-221E-4AA4-83DA-83139FEB2391-274x300.jpeg 274w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2023\/06\/857BE690-221E-4AA4-83DA-83139FEB2391.jpeg 587w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 274px) 100vw, 274px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-518\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2023\/06\/25018238-3E0E-4DD9-85F8-1BBB89A7CCFB-300x250.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2023\/06\/25018238-3E0E-4DD9-85F8-1BBB89A7CCFB-300x250.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2023\/06\/25018238-3E0E-4DD9-85F8-1BBB89A7CCFB.jpeg 681w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s3\">Benjamin Trexler<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Throughout my internship with the Reading Royals, I am eager to gain valuable knowledge and skills that will benefit my professional career moving forward.
