Why You Should Apply to YMA!

Written by Apprentice Coordinator, Donna Li (@donnahli)

Yes, YMA is RECRUITING, quite exciting like the “Minion Banana Song”! In case “Scream for Scene”, “The Apprentice Marketing Games”, and “Insight Revolution Conference” hasn’t convinced you that YMA is a club worth putting blood and sweat into, here are the top 3 benefits of being an executive in the club.

1. Career Connections

Securing an internship or full-time offer with a marketing role is quite competitive. Since YMA is a highly recognized and reputable club at Schulich, a position in the club will ornament and differentiate your resume. Also, a majority of the positions involve close interaction with top-notch companies who recruit at Schulich (P&G, General Mills, Colgate-Palmolive just to name a few). This added face time brews the ideal opportunity to network with your dream firm, while honing your client-management skills. Furthermore, you also get to personally experience and evaluate the culture of different firms and decipher which organization best suits you.

2. Entrance into a Strong Marketing Network

YMA is the perfect place to fortify your marketing network. At the very least, your network will encompass the talented executive team, active YMA members, and the corporate reps from various companies. I can assure you that having a strong network in marketing and business overall will expedite your path to success wherever you go.

3. It’s fun!

Yes, YMA works hard, but we also play hard. This year, we got together during the holidays for our first ever Christmas social! Not only did we sample foods of all cultures, we also exchanged gifts and faced some friendly “minute-to-win-it” competitions. The truth is, YMA really isn’t far off from a tight-knit family. What you put in will be what you get out. I assure that if you work hard like a team of hard-working minions who strive to become the best possible YMA committee, you will experience many successes collectively, and also form some long lasting friendships.
