Student Account Representative

Description: This sales position differs from other college media opportunities because it provides absolute real-world experience.

  • • Billing process
  • • Presentation skills
  • • Experience with client relationship management
  • • Time management skills

Upon completion of the two week training process, you will be given a parking garage pass for the San Antonio Garage; yours for the longevity of your employment.


Qualifications:
  • • You must be able to make MWF meetings from 8:30 am – 9:15 am
