Skills or character traits we want to see in you

Excellent communication skills 🗣️ 👂
You must be able to clearly articulate your message, not just verbally, but also in written and nonverbal communication.

Natural extroversion & interpersonal skills 🙋 🤝
Sales is all about making connections, so it’s only natural for someone in this internship to already be well on their way to building an extensive network of contacts.

Problem-solving and critical thinking skills 🕵️ 💡
You must be able to resolve issues quickly and effectively – the resources used to crack each case are up to you.

Sharp personal image 👔 👗
You dress to impress because first (and second, and third…) impressions are everything. Even if it’s just from the waist up in this virtual age!

And most importantly…

  • I get it: I understand the inner workings, systems, and responsibilities of my position 👍
  • I want it: I love to do my job 🙌
  • I have the capacity for it: I have the mental, physical, and emotional ability to do my job 💪
