Chelsea 

  • I'm a Client Manager at .............................. (company name) 
  • What I'm in change of doing is essentially managing communication between the client and the company. 
  • What I love most about my job is communicating with people – just being able to interact with a bunch of people on a daily basis as well as understanding what my clients' goals are, and working with my team to deliver a product that they are truly excited about. 
  • One of the most difficult parts of my job is keeping everyone on schedule because within this company everyone has million different clients and projects that they are working on at any given time. 
  • One of the main responsibilities is being super detail-oriented. Everything that we send out be it a digital ad, a report, be it a direct mail piece has to be meticulously proofed.
  • Going along with being detail-oriented, it's important to remember that mistakes happen, so you have to be resilient and be a problem-solver. So, if something does go wrong, you have to own your mistakes and be prepared to make things right. 


VOCABULARY 

  • meticulously (adverb) /məˈtɪkjələsli/ – in a way that pays careful attention to every detail 
  • resilient (adjective) /rɪˈzɪliənt/ – able to become strong, happy, or successful again after a difficult situation or event | SYNONYM: tough 


Melissa 

  • Once I graduated, I applied to a bunch of different jobs within the marketing, advertising, and public relations field and I landed a job as a PR specialist at a content marketing firm. 
  • My responsibilities there started off as just communicating with journalists and editors at online publications like Huffington Post and BuzzFeed. 
  • We would take content that we'd created for our clients that was relevant to those journalists and ask them to write a story about it.  
  • I excelled in that role and within nine months I was actually promoted to a manager of the department. 


Sarah 

  • I ended up doing a year-long program that was education-related. 
  • I had some of the skills that actually really helped me in that job. Some of them were the ability to communicate differently with different types of people, different types of learners, as well as the ability to be flexible and think on my feet. 
  • After that, I did a year as a coordinator at a non-profit that's related to health research, and I like that too, but I found myself a bit frustrated with feeling a bit limited. 
  • My organization was great, but it was only six people big, and I realized there weren't a ton of ways for me to grow. 
  • Consulting was a really lucky opportunity for me and I got out of it exactly what I was hoping to, which was the opportunity to gain some real discipline and specific skills that would prepare me for leadership. 
  • Through the consulting firm, I was also able to get a certification in project management.  


VOCABULARY 

  • end up doing something 
  • think on one's feet (phrase) – to make a quick decision or give an answer quickly 
  • frustrated at/with something ​


TIPS 

  • study for a 4-year degree - It will set you up for success. 
  • pursue internships – both paid or unpaid 
  • seek out companies that you can help – even if it's just filing paperwork or doing secretarial work 
  • offer your services to gain work experience so that you can build your resume 
  • gain experience working with others and collaborating with others 
  • having certifications in Microsoft Office is also very helpful 


TASK: 
Write down a comment with information about your job role, your responsibilities, and what you like and/or dislike about your job.
