  SPĚVÁČEK

  Jan 2019 - Jan 2021

  English Language Teacher

  My work as Freelance English teacher saw me having to market myself not just to companies, but individual clients as well. This was done in both physical and virtual mediums. My classes often had to be adapted rapidly to follow changing Covid regulations, changing location from the classroom to zoom calls with minimal notice. Within the classroom, I found success through a humorous, engaging approach. This saw me receive frequent vocal praise from students as well as the more tactile reward of high semester carry-over, particularly in my high-level courses. Meno dettagli

  Riscure

  Feb 2022 - Apr 2022

  Marketing Intern

  I worked within a extremely diverse, multicultural office as part of a lean and mean marketing team. We were tasked with developing copy for a variety of mediums, such as social media, newsletters, and the corporate website. My specific tasks focused on proof-reading, production, and communicating across departments. I was allowed specific freedom in the production of LinkedIn and Twitter posts. Which frequently saw high levels of engagement compared to those before I arrived. I also engaged with the sales and development teams to produce content which increased awareness both of the Riscure brand as well as the technically dense services we offered. One method was of newsletters, which I assisted in the proofreading and writing of sections, which were sent to external email lists. These emails resulted in significant increases in seminar registration and website visitsI unfortunately left the position to focus on the conclusion of my graduate thesis. Meno dettagli
