ATTENTION ALL CURRENT U OF I STUDENTS:
If you are going to be a Sophomore, Junior, or Senior during the Fall of 2020, I have a part-time JOB OPPORTUNITY for you!
I am the current Campus Ambassador for Rockstar Energy and will be graduating this May. This means I'm looking for someone to take over my position!
Rockstar's Campus Ambassador program is great for Marketing/Advertising majors, but anyone can do it (I'm an Animal Sciences major)! The position requires you to attend 2-4 social events per month (hosted by various RSO's, greek groups, or sports teams) where you hand out free Rockstar drinks to students.
You are expected to work a maximum of 20 hours per month for $15 an hour (that's $300 a month for going to social events!). These 20 hours include the time it takes for you to pick up the product from our local Pepsi facility, the time it takes for you to contact student groups and set up events, the time it takes for you to prep merch/cans for events, and then the actual time you spend at these events (usually 2-4 hours). At the end of each month, you will submit 10 photos as proof that you completed these duties.
This job does require access to a car and adequate storage space that can both fit 20 cases of Rockstar. You should also have some social media accounts (FB, insta, twitter) so that you can better get in contact with other students and market the product. Other than that, there are no formal requirements or experience necessary! If you are social and enjoy interacting with other students, this is the job for you!
If you are interested in having me refer you to Rockstar, please DM me (Anna Seweryniak)! This does not guarantee you the position, it only means that I will give them your contact info so they can reach out to you!
