Summer Work
Quotes from former Interns
"Now that I'm
moving into management, I'm impressed that Vector has never
asked me to compromise my academics for work. In fact, Vector
advocates balance in work and in life. When I applied for internship
credit last semester, my school was impressed with the company's
development of college students in the workplace, and approved
the maximum number of units possible based on what I was learning."

"The Vector Experience
has given me the real life business skills that you cannot find
in a classroom. With this solid work experience combined with
my degree, I feel confident that I will have the skills to succeed
in my future endeavors."

"Working with Vector has been one of the
most positive experiences in my life. I've gotten the opportunity
to grow both personally and professionally with the company,
as well as increase my self-confidence. What I love about Vector
is that my success is determined by my own hard work, motivation
and belief that I can do well."

"Even as a Political Science major, I recognize
the value of the strong credentials that business, management
and sales experience can provide. By the time this internship
is complete, I will know how to operate my own business. This,
along with support and guidance I've received from Vector's
management team, will help assure my success in the future."

Political Science Major
"Through my Vector
internship I have acquired many skills that I will use in my
future career. In addition to building time management and interpersonal
communications skills I have enjoyed a flexible schedule that
works around my other commitments. Having succeeded as a sales
intern, the doors are now open for me to pursue a career management
position."

"The
internship that I took with Vector Marketing Corporation, where
I received 14 credits, enabled me first of all to graduate on
time, instead of in 4.5 years like many students do these days.
The experience itself and the actual work I did taught me more
about the application of the things I learned in school -- about
how they applied to the real business world -- than I could
have learned in the classroom. I think that’s where the value
of the Vector Internship really came into play. Without the
Vector Internship, I would have graduated like many of my friends,
and that is without much direction at all. It certainly directly
contributed to my decision to enter into management with Vector.
I was already trained for a career position before I graduated
from college, I had a great experience with the company, and
of course that also led to the several promotions I’ve received
with the company since then. "

"Five years ago
I never imagined that my summer work would be such a life changing
event or lead to a career position. Not only did I get internship
credit, which helped me graduate, but I am now able to help
others in their quest for real life experience in the business
world. Personally, for me the experience and marketable skills
that I gained have opened up so many doors. More importantly
those skills gave me a competitive advantage and the confidence
to succeed."

"My experience with Vector my first summer
enabled me to qualify for a 4 credit independent study during
my senior year at Muhlenberg College in Allentown Pa. This experience
enabled me to develop skills directly applicable to my studies
in Education."

"Having an internship
not only helped me academically, but also professionally. I
learned the skills needed to pursue a career in business and
promotion, while also learning life long skills."
