As an advertising specialist, I made advertising concepts with the clients and helped

reasonable deadlines.
I also equip my phone with the Trello app which has been helping me work for a
while.
In my last role, I managed all social media content. I noticed other brands were

years and potentially even take the lead on some projects.
I was very fortunate to be hired by ABC Company. They taught me a lot about digital
marketing, and it’s been stimulating to work as a contributor to their creative teams.
However, I’m ready for the next step. Meanwhile, they already have a good digital
marketing manager. Then, I see myself can hit the ground running as your next digital
marketing manager.

approaching any project with a range of perspectives is better in the long run.
I’m also using my commute time to learn foreign languages. Now, I’m learning
Japanese.

discussion and not be defensive.
