Becoming a Student Basketball Manager

Describe the Most Challenging Experience So Far at School 

Getting the job as a Student Basketball Manager proved extremely challenging. To begin, I had to first contact the head manager during the summer so that I could set up a meeting over the phone. After this phone meeting, I had to sit back and wait. I had to wait a couple of months until the actual application opened. Once opened, I quickly filled out the application - hoping to land this great opportunity. A week or two after I submitted the application, I eventually received a phone call asking me to stop by the Chrysler Center for an interview. As the managers would later tell me, I looked nervous, but spoke with confidence. Due to this confidence, they hired me and this four month journey had finally concluded. I achieved my goal of becoming a manager and I feel proud to announce that I will work for the basketball program this upcoming year. 


Hedging: Use Hedging to draw conclusions

This challenging endeavor suggests that people enjoy my personality. After the interview, the managers indicated that they enjoyed interviewing people with outgoing and amusing personalities. Also, becoming a manager might teach me about the true characteristics of a leader and a team player.

It was not only your confidence that landed you this job, however, it was your overall personality. You posses the qualities that attract people from all around.

    Your use of hedging proves my point as you suggest that people enjoy your personality. I have no doubt that you already possess the necessary skills to be a leader and team player. This manager position will just reveal them.
