OP, IMHO, pretty much everything stylistically wrong with this PS is on display in the first paragraph -- ostentatious prose, loopy abstraction, and an absence of substance.

I'd scrap the majority of your statement and delve into the details of your post-collegiate job. Expanding on this sentence in particular ("My position had me assisting with the restructuring and rebranding of the company, acquainting me with trademarks, copyrights and contracts") would be a good starting point.

Good luck!

I agree.
