I was looking through the ''help-wanted section'' of my local newspaper, and I came across an ''advertisement''  for an ''internship'' at a well-known company.  I will certainly ''apply''.  My cousin works there, and I've been waiting for them to have a ''job opening''.
 
The company sent my cousin on an ''overseas assignment'' two years ago. His ''posting'' to the US lasted a year. During that time, he was ''recruited'' by another company there, but in the end he couldn't get a ''work permit'' so they weren't allowed to ''hire'' him.
</div>
 
=== KEYWORD transformation ===
'''TASK'''
 
Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence, using the KEYWORD given.
 
'''Do not change''' the KEYWORD.  You must use '''between two and five words''', including the word given.
 
(''At the end of these exercises you can find the solutions.'')
