My name is Lauren Perciballi, and just like the title of this post suggests, I will be the Sales & Communications Intern for mark. this summer! To read more about my personal/professional background, please click HERE. Let me begin with saying how extremely BLESSED I feel to have been given the opportunity to intern for this wonderful company! mark. is a leading brand in the beauty & fashion world, and I can't think of a more rewarding way to infuse my teaching credentials in the industry that I love! I became a mark. Representative in January of 2010, after watching a video from meetmark's website about all the perks of becoming a rep! I was just beginning graduate school, and wanted a way to make some extra cash while having to go to school & student teach full time. Since then, mark. has implemented there Mentor Program, which allocates highly successful mark. reps to "mentor" groups of other reps in different regions of the United Sates. I am a proud member of mark.'s Current Number 1 Team in the Nation, Gail's team in the North-East Region! It wasn't until I "met" my mark. Mentor Gail, that I felt was part of a sisterhood! Anytime I felt confused about something, needed reassurance, or wanted to make a "game plan" to reach a sales goal, my mentor Gail has been there for me. It was Gail & my teams support that has aided me in winning one of mark.'s wonderful sale's incentives--an ALL expenses paid to trip to there National Conference here in New York City! At this event, I will get hands on business training, as well as attend "Beauty Bootcamps" to increase my knowledge to be a better mark. Representative & overall Makeup Artist! This experience will definitely give me even more tools to get my customers excited about what mark. has to offer!
A little about the Internship Program: The internship begins June 5th and ends August 12th. There are usually about 11 or 12 mark. interns every summer, but this year-- out of hundreds in the nation who applied for the position, mark. selected the eight of us! This means that some of us might have combined positions, such as me being the intern for both the Sales & Communications Departments. Every mark. Intern is also assigned a "mentor" which is someone from the department in which there working in, who will guide them through there internship and culminating project to be presented at the end of the ten week internship! Since it's so in advance, I don't know exactly what I will be doing project wise for my internship, but I know my position entails in developing educational material for other mark. representatives across the country--which sounds amazing! Would you like to become a mark. Intern next summer? Then read our Internship Tab, or go to meetmark.com!
The day I found out I got the job for this internship, I set out to find who else got the job, so that we can become friends on Facebook! I think it's great that we can get to know each other "virtually" months before we begin out internship in June. I made a closed group for us on FaceBook so that we always have a place to chat and get in touch with one another, and I set up this blog as well for us to document our experiences. Think I'm excited about this?! =)
Some facts about me: I was born, raised, and still reside in Brooklyn, New York! I'll be 25 on May 23rd, and I am an only child. I am a Freelance Makeup Artist & Licenced Teacher holding my masters degree in Early Childhood Education. I am the only intern in mark.'s program who is from New York, and I look forward to showing my future mark. sister's around my hometown & getting to know them better!
I cannot wait to to get to know the seven other interns better, and begin this position!
