While working for Boxingtalk.com I handled sensitive documentation, attended and served as translator for important business arrangements and interviews, and accomplished various office tasks to produce a smooth and conducive work environment.

Were you offered a full-time job through this internship? If yes, did you accept it? Explain and describe post-internship opportunities/offerings: Did you receive a firm job offer? Were you offered any networking opportunities? What sort of future opportunities (i.e. internship? job shadowing opportunity?) were established through this internship?

After completing the internship, I was not offered a full-time job. However, the company did offer me the opportunity to continue interning throughout the school year to which I respectfully declined due to the upcoming workload. Furthermore, the company vowed to put in a recommendation or good word should it be needed in the future.

I would highly recommend this opportunity to another student. The overall experience was phenomenal and I will seek opportunities with this company in the future.
