Wholesale and Manufacturing Sales Representatives

I was given a number of projects that I could work on for however long I needed to finish them. One project I worked on was a reference document for the team, that laid out the car models of our clients and which auto supplier they used for the different models. It was a research project of sort,...

No two days are ever the same as a Sales Intern, because you're constantly working with different customers and on different projects. I felt challenged every day, since my tasks weren't repetitive.

As a new employee, it should not be expected to have a schedule 9-5 and regular week ends. My week ends were usually Wednesday/Thursday.

Some of the skills I developed as a Music Business major include music publishing, artist management, marketing, copyright law, contract law, and knowledge of different labels and their artists.

It would be a standard full-time 40 hour week job. Occasionally you may have to stay later to close deals with clients in other time zones but not necesarily.

Make sure you have practical examples of: a time you've worked with clients directly a time that something went wrong while working with a client and how you solved it Something that proves you can handle a fast-paced work environment and how to re-prioritize when needed Show confidence! That's h...
