Bio
Johanna Molina
Nelson worked for Intern Latin America/The Intern Group for two months over the summer of 2014 and quickly became an integral part of our team. I assigned him various tasks to complete during the course of his internship with us and he set about achieving them in a methodical, precise and professional manner. He came up with an excellent marketing strategy for the company, which places interns in blue-chip companies and therefore is very relationship based and generating positive word of mouth is extremely important. Nelson developed a very effective social media campaign which helped to portray a very positive image of the company and helped draw in many inquiries from future candidates. When researching the viability of opening an office in a new country, he carried out very thorough market research on the new country, contacting incumbent players and service providers and drawing up a very thorough presentation with his recommendations which he then presented to my Board of Directors. There is a large social element to being a company which offers internships and Nelson bonded easily with all the other interns that were here at the same time, quickly establishing himself as a group leader and organising many social activities for all the interns to take part in. Not only would he organise these social excursions but he was excellent at taking responsibility for providing care and attention for his fellow interns, should they require assistance for any reason. Nelson is articulate, hard-working, pro-active, loyal and passionate and we really felt his absence when his time with us came to an end. I would recommend him to any future employer as someone that can be relied on to get the job done and can be trusted to work on many different tasks at the same time, with minimal supervision. He is a great asset to any team.

Nelson proved hard-working, intelligent and a strong addition to the team in the time he was with The Intern Group. His direct manager Johanna Molina spoke extremely highly of him and I was impressed with his market analysis reports and recommendations concerning The Intern Group´s expansion, which he presented to me. It is a pleasure for me to recommend Nelson highly and I am certain that future employers will be as happy with his performance as we have been.
