Vector Marketing Corporation is offering college students the opportunity to apply for summer internships doing various tasks involving sales and customer service.

The company offers a summer internship that involves selling Cutco brand kitchen knives. Interns would have to set up appointments over the phone with potential buyers and make sales pitches at their homes. “Interns get paid per interview even if they don’t buy any knives,” former Vector intern and sophomore English major Jen Henderson said.

They have 10 locations throughout the Chicago area as well as 600 other locations in the United States and around the world.

“It just sounds too good to be true,” junior hospitality administration major Joe Sexton said. “I’ve seen these [types of internships] before. I’ll probably be doing telemarketing or door-to-door sales.”

The Vector internship is not exactly a telemarketing job because it involves making face-to-face sales pitches and handling customer service-related problems.
