University Directories is hiring motivated students to participate in their nationally recognized sales and marketing internship program this summer. It is a paid position throughout the summer. We have positions at UMBC as well as locations throughout 44 of 50 states (you can check our website for a complete list - www.universitydirectories.com/internships.html).
There are three main things to know about the internship:
1) Nationally Recognized week long expense-paid training in May in Chapel Hill, NC to provide a solid foundation for your summer.
2) It is a paid internship.
3) It's not a desk job - you're going to be working face to face with local business owners to talk to them about advertising in the publication that we print at your school.
Our internship is a fast-paced sales and marketing program designed to give students experience in analyzing how local businesses operate and how they try to target their advertising to reach the campus, more specifically, YOU as a college student.
Interviews
If you are interested in the opportunity, you can email me back your resume to staylor@vilcom.com and we can set up a time to talk further about the internship! I will be conducting 30 minute phone interviews this week and have limited availability left, so please email me with your resume if you are interested as spots are filled on a first come first serve basis based on eligibility.
