Employer: Rede Bandeirantes

Period: June - September 2010

I have spent two months in Campinas, Brazil working with Rede Bandeirantes. It has not only been a great working experience but also a life-changing one. I feel privileged to be working in the marketing department of such a competitive communications network. Some of the duties I perform include preparing sales presentations for clients, arranging price tables, attending promoting events and creating new logos for news paper advertisements.

I have enjoyed all aspects of my stay in Brazil. I have met amazing people, made irreplaceable friends, and most of all I have experienced the joy and charm of the Brazilian culture. Campinas has great things to offer, being the tenth richest city in Brazil it is a hub for professional development. It also has great nightlife and numerous surrounding cities that are all worth a visit. Another treasure that Brazilians withhold is their delicious cuisine, which I have had the pleasure of savoring on a daily basis.

Overall, my internship in Brazil with Rede Band has been a great experience. It has made a difference in the way I see and live life today. I will say one last thing, I recommend Brazil to everyone!
