One of these students is Brandon Wolfe. A graduate of the Department of Informatics and former employee of Tiger Media Network, Wolfe now works as an IT seasonal specialist for the Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI provide help to our support desk and our solutions management team,\u201d Wolfe said. \u201cPrior to that, I worked as stadium ops for the Chiefs for two years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to his graduation in 2020, Wolfe had worked for Tiger Media for two years. He describes this period as the highlight of his college career, and wished he knew about them for his first years at Fort Hays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat was when I found the group of people I knew I wanted to work with,\u201d Wolfe said. \u201cI originally worked for printed services and didn\u2019t even know about TMN. If I did, I would\u2019ve joined them sooner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Wolfe\u2019s journey to this point was not easy, and he dealt with some setbacks during this time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs you know, COVID ruined a lot of things,\u201d Wolfe said. \u201cAfter I graduated, I moved back home and finished my degree.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wolfe also explains that he actually found the position he has for the Chiefs just by browsing jobs online.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt just came up,\u201d he said. \u201cI noticed the Chiefs were hiring for a game day role, so I applied and ended up landing the position.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As he slowly began to open up and put his foot in the door, Wolfe also began to work some odd jobs when he moved to Kansas City.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI worked with contractors and painted houses,\u201d Wolfe said. \u201cI also worked at a UPS warehouse. Just stuff to make sure I was stable and that I could provide for myself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With how many new people he has been exposed to in his position, Wolfe tells a valuable lesson.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou just have to learn how to work with these people, and how to read the room,\u201d Wolfe said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Super Bowl LVII just around the corner, Wolfe has a lot to do and is happy with it all. He is especially happy with some of the people he is able to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really great and exciting, and I love to stay on my toes,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing working with people who\u2019ve been working here for over 20 years, and just hearing their stories.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With his new experience with the NFL and the time he has spent working for the Chiefs, Wolfe offers advice to those looking for a similar opportunity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t limit yourself, and always be open,\u201d Wolfe said. \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid to reach out and put your foot in the door.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo courtesy of Brandon Wolfe BY NICK McCOY Many students who graduated from Fort Hays State University go on to have flourishing careers.
