Need some extra cash? Like the idea of an all-expense paid trip to network with management at a Fortune 500 Company? Want to win a car for a month so that you can go wherever you want? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, apply for the 2014 Ford College Ambassador Challenge sponsored by Ford and InternQueen.

For the second year in a row, Ford is giving college students the opportunity to gain real work experience and some great perks. The best part? Carnegie Mellon is one of only five participating Midwest schools. One of the members of the winning team last year from the University of Pittsburgh was even hired by Ford, so the competition definitely opens doors!

The competition doesn’t start till January, but the deadline to apply to represent Carnegie Mellon is Friday, December 20. To apply, go to http://www.fordcac2014.com and submit your contact information, resume, and a link to a thirty-second YouTube video explaining why you should be selected to run your school’s team, why you want to be a part of the Challenge, and which three friends you would select to be on your team.

Ford is looking for students involved in a wide array of activities with a powerful reach on campus (choose your friends wisely) and who are social media savvy.

Don’t miss out on this great opportunity!

I am a junior Materials Science and Engineering mjaor at Carnegie Mellon University, and I am also minoring in Professional Writing and Business. I am a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma.  I love TV and trying out new beauty products.  I follow E! on Twitter so that I can stay up-to-date on celebrity news.  I'm royal-obsessed, and I love Kate Middleton's style.  I'm kind of a Sephora addict, and I could easily spend hours there.  I also spend way too much time on Pinterest.  Finally, I love hockey and all Pittsburgh sports.
