After getting a job as a personnel clerk at Hanes Hosiery, Lena says she became convinced that business, not education, was going to be her career. "Although I'd always wanted to be an educator, it seemed as though I was always getting jobs that were business-related,** says Lena. "When I got the job with Hanes, it became clear to me that business was what I wanted to do." After that, Lena swiftly moved up the ladder. In two years, she was transferred to Hanes Knitwear and promoted to employment coordinator.
