寻求个人成长

As a college freshman on financial aid, the internship search was incredibly painstaking. It was hard to find positions that were hiring freshman to begin with, and the ones that did hire freshman were often unpaid without housing. While it was tempting to apply for internships that offered the biggest paychecks, I wanted a work experience that would provide me with valid learning experiences, personal growth, and career development. I finally found such a sales internship that met all the criteria I was looking for at Aruza Pest Control: they hired freshman, it offered a valid learning experience, and housing was provided by the company.

虽然我没有追求销售事业的用心,这次实习将在我的未来被证明是非常有用的作为一个企业家。为了推销产品或服务,我必须直接了解我的目标市场。我需要知道如何在感情上与他们联系,以说服他们为什么他们需要的产品或服务,以及它将如何为他们提供价值。作为销售实习生,我将提供如何与客户连接,并卖给他们的产品的第一手经验。虽然我可能不直接做直销作为一个企业家,我就能回看这次实习时,我起草的营销活动,并确定如何将产品销售给目标受众。

In addition to teaching me the key to sales, this internship will also provide me with the opportunity to build my communication skills. In the past several years, I have seen significant development in my communicating ability; however, I still see room for growth. Being a sales rep will take my communication skills to the next level by teaching me how to connect with my customer and build a rapport with them. This will not only be useful in the business world, but also my personal life.
