Intern-Field

Description

The internship splits time between sales and recruiting. In sales (60‑70%), interns conduct outbound prospecting, support account executives with lead research and market mapping, learn to make sales calls and craft outreach messages, and assist with proposals and presentations while tracking activity metrics. In recruiting (30‑40%), they source and screen candidates, conduct resume reviews and phone screens, support interview coordination, write job descriptions, and learn the full recruiting process from client meetings to offer negotiations.

Program engagement includes daily and weekly learning sessions on sales tactics and recruiting best practices, a capstone project presented at the end of the term, and collaborative group challenges and business simulations to develop professional skills.
