Starting off this school year I had no idea that I would end up becoming the brand rep for HP, on the marketing board for Coca-Cola, and an intern for trade mark and licensing at Purdue, which is basically Purdue athletics. My favorite position is the brand rep for HP. I love that position. It gives me the marketing experience that I need to make me more marketable once I graduate.
This position entails many things. I have to perform a certain number of events on campus promoting the HP laptops, most importantly the laptop with the beats technology installed in them. I have to increase traffic flow to the HP student site and basically just increase sales and awareness of HP products. I love marketing so this position lets me use my creative marketing skills on campus and it gives me the opportunity to network within HP.
Being able to put HP and Coca-Cola on my resume is a big thing to me. Even though these positions and being a student here at Purdue makes my week extremely busy, I think that it is worth it. It’s a pretty cool thing to be able to do work for two fortune 500 companies and I’m only a junior. Hopefully this brings about bigger things since my ultimate goal is to become a CEO of a fortune 500 company.
