- [00:00:04.930]My name is Mitch Mattern and I'm a senior broadcasting major this past summer
- [00:00:08.550]I interned with South Bend Silver Hawks which is a minor league affiliate
- [00:00:13.390]of the Arizona Diamondbacks in South Bend, Indiana. I knew I was interested in
- [00:00:17.660]baseball
- [00:00:18.490]and video production and I literally googled
- [00:00:21.940]baseball video production internship and I got a few results and all the
- [00:00:27.060]the deadlines had already passed and so then I Googled minor league baseball
- [00:00:31.470]internship and the first one the came up was the South Bend Silver Hawks
- [00:00:36.879]and I email the director production and
- [00:00:40.089]that same day mean email me back and set up a a phone interview for the next day
- [00:00:45.470]and when he called, I mean he already had my resume and cover letter
- [00:00:51.120]and so what I tried to do during that interview was make it more a
- [00:00:54.610]conversation
- [00:00:55.530]so that he had something else to remember me by
- [00:00:58.750]than just what I've done in in school and so
- [00:01:02.510]that kinda how the interview went we talked about 30 minutes about
- [00:01:06.580]everything he was a Cubs fan I was a Cubs fan
- [00:01:09.600]and so you know we kinda made that connection and then the very next day
- [00:01:13.710]he called back and offered me the internship what's important to remember
- [00:01:16.780]is that
- [00:01:17.740]there are literally thousands of businesses, organizations that
- [00:01:23.460]want interns you know it it's fairly cheap labor
- [00:01:26.640]um but no internship is too small
- [00:01:30.479]you know I I was a little concerned even when I called my dad and told him you
- [00:01:34.429]know I'm
- [00:01:34.920]I'm going to intern with South Bend Silver Hawks and he's a big sports fan
- [00:01:38.399]and he said
- [00:01:39.429]who and but when I went there
- [00:01:43.079]I got opportunities that I wouldn't have got with even
- [00:01:47.090]you know the the Kansas City Royals or for any big league game because
- [00:01:51.069]it was very intern based you know there are several
- [00:01:54.149]7 interns and the director of production so
- [00:01:57.249]I was at times in charge of directing
- [00:02:00.749]during the game which is like and upper tier position
- [00:02:04.299]at, with a major league baseball team
- [00:02:07.889]so that was really cool
