Do you work or are you a student?
I am currently working as a marketing assistant at a small technology company, and I also take evening classes to improve my English.
Why did you choose that job?
I have always been interested in how brands communicate with people. This job lets me be creative and analytical at the same time, which suits my personality.
What do you enjoy most about your work?
Definitely the variety. One day I might write social media posts, and the next day I analyse customer data. I rarely feel bored, and I learn something new almost every week.
Is there anything you dislike about your job?
Sometimes the deadlines are tight, especially before a product launch. It can be stressful, but it has taught me to plan my time more carefully.
Would you like to change your job in the future?
Not immediately. I want to gain more experience first, but in a few years I might move into a management role or start my own agency.
What job did you want to do when you were a child?
When I was little I dreamed of being a pilot because I loved aeroplanes. As I grew older my interests changed, and I realised I preferred working with ideas.
