  8. Hi VS!

    Thank you for the very wonderful blog, it is definitely one of the most informative on the web. I am going to intern at one of the shipping brokerage this summer and had been binge reading your blog. I read all your posts within 2 weeks. The amount of information is really useful and it definitely helped me in my interview in securing the internship.

    I have 3 questions and I would be glad if you can answer them:

    1) Are your books still available for purchase?
    2) Any tips on converting my internship position to a permanent job as a trainee broker?
    3) Is it a good time to enter the industry now?

    Thank you so much for your blog! Looking forward to more active posts from you :)
