Re: Paid Internship Opportunity - Young & Rubicam, NY

For the twelth year, the UT advertising program is seeking applications for a paid internship at Young & Rubicam, NY, for this upcoming summer. We are fortunate that Y&R has set aside money for a UT advertising student in either account management or account planning. This opportunity was created by former UT students who worked at Y&R. In the past, Jeff Winger, Kevin Kirksey, Nicole McPhillips, Chad Hauther, Emily Adams, Andrew Renfro, Nancy Sloan, Natasha Massey, Tania Ventolini, Shibhan Singh, Stephanie Shaw and Rachael Bell were selected as the Y&R intern. Each has been offered a permanent job with Y&R. Others, like Marc Loffredo, have been asked to come back to interview for permanent positions as a result of interviewing for the internship. Like Jeff, Kevin and Nicole, Marc was also offered a permanent position. Y&R has been very impressed with Jeff, Kevin, Marc, Nicole and other UT students that have worked for them; therefore, they are giving us this opportunity again this year.

To be eligible:

You must be an Ad major, a Junior or at least have one semester until graduation after this upcoming summer.

You must have a passion for advertising.

You must be willing to be interviewed in person by Y&R NY. In the past, the students that Y&R selected to interview also went on the January NYC trip and were interviewed then. If not already signed up for the January trip, see Dr. Haley
