memorandum on at least 3 ways to proceed with this: 1. What have you learned about the nature of budget analysis...

What does that job entail you might not have understood previously?

2. Could you ever see yourself as a budget analyst? (Not necessary to say yes... you could very easily hate it.)

3. What have you learned about your department's ways of conducting business?

OR... What have you learned about Howard County's finances?

It's about a page. I've attached an appendix from Mikesell's Fiscal Administration about the role of the budget analyst.
