Hart-Boillot LLC, Waltham MA

Primary job responsibilities;
Administrative tasks, media and client outreach, podcasting and blogging, drafting press releases, newsletters and speeches for clients.

I was given more responsibility as the internship went on. Eventually I was writing speeches for a CEO of one of the companies we represented.

I would rate this experience as excellent and I would recommend this site to other students because you really get a chance to do hands on work.

I would have preferred to not do as much administrative/ mindless work.

To future students I would say that they should understand the company they are going to work for, do research, look at their websites and make yourself comfortable before starting.
