Gabys tid som Working Student hos Echometer (erfaringsrapport)
Sådan kom jeg til Echometer
Throughout this difficult year post-graduation, I was looking for full-time work in order to stay in Germany. With the virus and the number of responses from my applications, it clearly wasn’t happening. Therefore, when I had an offer from Echometer to be the in-house translator and learn content marketing for the blog, I took it as a great chance to learn and collect experience.
Fakta om mig:
- Født og opvokset i Hong Kong
- B.A. i billedkunst - University of Hong Kong
- M.A. i nationale og transnationale studier - WWU Münster
- 6 måneder som arbejdende studerende
- 4 tidligere praktikophold, et i en startup!
Min start på Echometer
After starting the job, I was excited to work closely in all aspects of the company that I was interested in, and even started doing sales as well. It was a really great feeling, knowing that my abilities were trusted and that I was producing results. Although I have been translating material for the last 10 years or so, I mostly did it unprofessionally and didn’t learn many new skills from it. I was eager to build upon that and learn content marketing. Echometer gave me the chance to use Analytics, play around with A/B testing on Optimise, and explore Wordpress. After I took on a more sales-centric role, I started making sales calls and did a couple of coaching sessions. I became a lot more confident in my presentation skills, learned a lot about our product and how to use LinkedIn Sales Navigator and LeadConnect. Thanks to this, I now have way too many connections on LinkedIn! :D Through all of this, and I cannot emphasise this enough, I was generously offered the opportunity to learn about everything I had interest in, and could bring to my next job. Alongside this, I made some friends for life. I believe that this startup experience is something that I will likely not be able to experience again.
Mine opgaver
- Oversættelse af blogartikler til engelsk
- Oversættelse og optimering af hjemmesideindhold
- Skrivning af LinkedIn-teasere til nyoversatte blogartikler
- Kommunikation med asiatiske forretningspartnere
- Opsøgende salg på LinkedIn
- Gennemførelse af salgsdemoer for produktet
- osv. osv.
Mit højdepunkt - bortset fra cocktailpartyet
At begynde arbejdet med et cocktailparty var tydeligvis et stort højdepunkt for mig. Andre mindeværdige øjeblikke var vores online-julefest med en escape room-øvelse, vores hangout efter arbejde på kontoret (med en fantastisk udsigt over havnen!) og vores team-klatredate.
On a more serious note, getting to build my own free trial landing page was a big step for me. I got to use it to test out our hypothesis with my sales leads on LinkedIn - and it made me feel extremely productive.
Hvad jeg fik ud af Echometer
Echometer gav mig en chance, da ingen andre ville, og gav mig en chance for at lære som jeg ellers sandsynligvis ikke ville få hos de fleste andre virksomheder.
Jeg blev opfordret til at prøve alt, begå fejl, rette mine fejl og lytte til, hvad alle andre gjorde. Jeg blev tilbudt et job hos Huawei i B2B-marketing, og jeg tror, at det mest var på grund af det, jeg kunne tage med mig fra de 6 måneder hos Echometer.
Echometer tilbyder:
- Et lille og venligt team i et startup-miljø
- Individuel støtte til personlig karriereudvikling
- Praktisk erfaring med marketing og salg
- Erfaring med agile arbejdsmetoder og nu Holacracy
- Regelmæssige teambegivenheder
- Fleksible arbejdstider
- Mulighed for at arbejde hjemmefra, på stedet eller begge dele
Min konklusion
“Min stilling som studerende hos Echometer gav mig mulighed for at få indsigt i forskellige emner og arbejde selvstændigt. Samtidig blev jeg opmuntret til at sige min mening og gennemføre mine egne ideer. Oplevelsen var virkelig fremskyndede min udvikling og forberedte mig til min næste stilling hos Huawei.”
