Career Fair

Yesterday, Buddy and I attended the Eastern North Carolina Career Fair at the Civic Center. This year's theme was quite appropriate-"Step up to the plate." Buddy was the Lunch and Learn guest speaker and was able to apply the world of baseball to marketing strategies. He is a dynamic speaker if you haven't had the chance to see him and he is available for all occasions...ok so I made that last part up, but he would be more than happy to discuss marketing opportunities and Marlins Baseball with anyone. Speaking of marketing and thinking outside the box, we unveiled one of our new marketing pieces...a life-size cardboard player cutout. These will be strategically placed around Carteret County. The one we brought with us was a picture of our All-Star third baseman from last season-Steve Marino.

We had the opportunity to meet new businesses in the area and learn a little bit more about some expanding companies. We also had the chance to promote our baseball team in preparation for the upcoming season and were able to speak to some job seekers about our available game day staff positions. We are looking for high school or college students who would like a part-time job in the summer. Any adults that wish to apply, please do. Adults would be great at ticket sales and ushering. Primarily we look for outgoing individuals as they make the atmosphere that much more enjoyable to our fans. A smile can go a long way. Some positions include: concessions, vendor, tickets taking, ticket sales, mascot, etc. You get the idea. I plan on writing a release within the next few days so everyone can get started on applying. If you would like more information or would like an application, please email me or stop by the office.
