Lesson 2

Exercise :

During the summer vacation, I worked at Pull and Bear for 3 months.

It was a fixed-term contract. This allowed me to develop better interpersonal skills and develop commercial skills.

However, I less appreciated the behavior of the managers towards me and the other employees.

I would like to do an internship as an assistant to a marketing project manager because this is the job I want to do later.
