In the beginning of December, Justin had the opportunity to attend the Baseball Winter meetings. What is the Baseball Winter meetings you ask? It’s an opportunity for MLB general managers and owners to get together in a close proximity. Agents are usually there as well to help sell their free agents. It use to be a lot more useful before the age of technology, but now it’s more like a celebration. However, there is an attached job fair, which was the whole reason Justin went down there. Justin went around sending teams his resume, and had interviews with 3 interviews, and had a second interview with the Modesto nuts, giving him a total of 4 interviews while he there. He also had the privilege of meeting the head of MLB-business public relations, who sat down and talked to him, as well as some other important people who passed by, for an hour and a half. He learned a lot of valuable information from them, and was grateful for the time he got to talk to them.
A couple days later, he got an e-mail from the Modesto Nuts saying they were very interested in him and wanted him to send them some references. He then also had another interview with the people he could possibly be working with. A week and a half later from that e-mail that he received, he found out that he received the internship and will be interning with the Modesto Nuts! Plans are currently in the process of what’s is going to be happening next semester. We’ll keep you updated with that. As of right now, we are just grateful that Justin has this opportunity, and is one step closer to his dream job! (His dream job is working for a MLB team as their PR guy) He will be doing group sales and public relations! We’re all very proud of him!
