Internship in Miami

Well this entry certainly has been in the making for a very long time. Just to give you a quick update of what has happened since october, here are a few key events:

- I was accepted for an internship in Miami with Citigroup in the Global Transaction Services division focusing primarily on Latin America
- I work side by side with another intern from Monterrey Tech, named Jose Antonio, who is finishing up his masters in Marketing
- The first day of work was held in Ft. Lauderdale Fl, where we were trained in proper business etiquette (I felt I was in eighth grade catillion (sp?) all over again)
- The man who hired me, Carlos Castro, is extremely busy and therefore asked his right hand man, Leo Gazzo, to make sure Jose Antonio and I have enough work to do
- The first couple of days in Miami Leo had a hard time finding anything for us
- After about 3 days on the job, we finally were introduced to the weekly international liabilities report that we would end up doing each of the following weeks
-We have also engaged in a marketing project where we investigate the top 100 importers of each Latin American country and analyze which of our projects, if any, these companies have and where we can improve on
