"As an entrepreneur, dreamer, and in search of becoming a better professional, Ugly Mug showed me what marketing is really about. I learned not only skills that will make me a better professional but also how to be a better leader wherever I go."
Being an intern at Ugly Mug is different than being an intern elsewhere. You are not getting
coffee for your colleagues, maybe for yourself.
But the truth is that as an intern at UMM, you are challenged every week-literally.
The real world can be tough at times, and the best way to prepare ourselves to face those tough times is to get an internship that allows us to grow and overcome real-life obstacles.
As an intern at Ugly Mug, you will learn what marketing is really about, how to handle conflict,
be proactive, and live out of your comfort zone
The real world requires us to deliver results, not excuses. In weekly or biweekly team challenges, the goal is to present results and win. What kind of challenges? Well, real-life challenges.
Those challenges can go from selling a book to creating a marketing strategy for a potential client. Our job as interns and marketers is to develop strategies and take action. If you want to win, you must do whatever it takes.
We don't get a lot of instructions and we have to figure it out along the way. The truth is that RESULTS MATTER. Being uncomfortable is never comfortable, but that's how we grow thus leaving our interns self behind and becoming professionals.
We all know how an interview process can be stressful and that's okay. Everyone gets nervous in important situations, but the upside is that you don't have to fake who you are at UMM.
If you simply be yourself and stay open-minded things will flow naturally. Showing your true personality and how your mind works is the best way to get the job.
