Informational Interview - 1234 Words

Informational Interview As an Accounting major, I am very interested and have become fond of learning about the varying business aspects within the sports industry. As a result, I decided to conduct my interview with a professional that is associated with the business operations of athletics. The person that I interviewed was Dawn Reynolds, the Senior Associate Athletic Director for Business and Finance here at the University of Miami. After initially getting in contact with Ms. Reynolds a few weeks ago, I was finally able to meet with her briefly and conduct my interview on November 30, 2010, in room 261 in the Hecht Athletics Center. Just to give a bit of background information about Ms. Reynolds, she is from Elmira, New York and now†¦show more content†¦I recommend that you take every opportunity that is given to you. You must be willing to start in an entry level position and work your way up. Q: How did you get to your current role? A: I worked in the University s Budget Office for three years before working in athletics. I began my career in Athletics in 1993 as the Senior Business Manager where I worked with day to day activities and reconciling. I was promoted to Assistant Athletic Director in 1999 and Associate Athletic Director in 2005. On September 2010, I was offered the position I hold now: Senior Associate Director for Business and Finance. Q: What do you like/dislike about your job? A: I love the people I work with and love being a part of this great program. I enjoy the people I am around and I enjoy working with numbers. The only downside is the amount of hours you have to work. There are times where I have to work long hours and put in a lot of extra time. Q: What has been the most memorable moment of your career thus far? A: When you are in my position, you get to travel with the football team so I must say the most memorable moment of my career was being able to watch the Hurricanes win a National Championship at the Rose Bowl. Q: What keeps you motivated? A: I try to always have a positive outlook on things. I have a great husband and a great family that supports me with my work.
