Testimonials

"I never imagined myself in a sales role, but University Directories' training prepared me for that and more! Not only did I learn a lot during my internship, but also my experience helped me get a job right out of college as a recruiter. My manager at [my full time job] had done a University Directories sales internship when he was in college. He remembered UD's thorough training process, so he knew I had an edge over other college graduates entering the workforce. I highly recommend this internship, not only because it helped me find a great job, but also because it was challenging and fun!"

— Lauren Hartfeil

"An internship that pays was the first thing that attracted me to UD. Throughout my internship I gained so much more; how to carry myself in a professional work environment, communication skills and a mental toughness to take on any task. You can't ask for more in an internship."

— Sheprelle Jenifer

"The Inside Sales Internship with University Directories has provided me with an invaluable set of skills that will surely separate me from others in the current competitive job market. When I started this internship, I considered myself to be a rather introverted individual, but through this experience, I was able to break out of my shell and strengthen my interpersonal skills. The knowledge I'll take away from this internship will be useful for the rest of my life!"

— Marc Weber
