Warm-Up 1

This is the post to which you add your Warm-Up 1 task as a Comment (i.e. click on the Comment button below). When you do that, don't forget to write your name on the post! You'd be amazed how much detective work I sometimes have to do!

Warm-Up 1 asks you to write a personal presentation for a web site. This is a general message that goes out to everyone who visits the web site of the new company you've just got a job with. I.e. it needs to be informative, but a bit general - and a good piece of advertising for your new employer. In other words, you need to show how smart your new employer is for hiring you!

You'll find a couple of useful links on the Warm-Up 1 page: one from the 'How to Do Things' site with some general advice, and an example of personal presentations from the Ericsson company.

When the Warm-Ups have all been marked and sent back (by me, David), I'll post a general comment in a post on this blog, with advice for everyone about Send-In Task 1.

52 comments:

  1. This is a comment I've posted on my own post!

    First, you either type or copy the text you want to post into the text box. My advice is to write your Warm-Up as a Word document first (so that you can edit it and you'll always have a copy yourself), then copy the text and paste it in here.

    Second, you choose who're you're going to 'Comment as:' You can choose between all sorts of IDs, or just write your name - or even post anonymously.

    If you post anonymously, make sure that you at least write your name in the text box - otherwise I don't know who's posted a particular Warm-Up task!

    (If this is a problem for any reason, get in touch and we'll work something out).

But she always stands up for them and supports them when help is needed. And that’s what makes her a perfect leader.

After it she applied for a job in one of the big four's companies in Spain. Finally she had to move to Barcelona in one of the biggest E&Y office during two years. It was a really difficult period of work because she was disappointed by the spanish system of managing people. Teresa felt that she needed to discover another working culture so she started travelling around Europe looking for something better. By this way she became marketing manager at Alsjöholm Mekaniska Verkstad AB. AMV, company located in Kalmar.

    Teresa is a young girl with only a few years of experience. Nevertheless she is a hardworker and responsible woman, that she tries to have always a good balance between work at home and company. She is determinated but sometimes she runs faster than she can, feature of entreprising young people. The experience will improve their errors.

  22. A new manager has been hired and she will help Påryd to design the new strategy the company wants to launch next semester.

    Creativity, sociability and good relationship with people are the main qualities of a manager. Thanks to her 4th year degree in Marketing and Communication and different work experiences, Lydie developed all this good points. Indeed during her studies in a prestigious French Univeristy she had the opportunity to improve her knowledge in study market, business relations and communication. Mixed with internships, she learnt how to develop a global communication strategy.

    Her first meeting with the world of communication was in a pharmaceutical laboratory where she was in charge of press relations and then she discovered the other side of communication in an international advertising agency as a commercial manager. Those two experiences let us think that Lydie has the competence we need in our company.

    To be a good communication worker you also need a good culture and strong language knowledge. That is the reason why Lydie’s experience in China is a real advantage for us. This enabled her to learn Chinese, which is the business language with English, but also because she worked with people with physical disabilities, she knows how to manage a team but she is also aware of the respect about differences. This is what we are expecting from a manager.

    Påryd is not only a company where manager can improve to be good but to be the best in their fields.

  36. Hello, there. My name is Susan and I am the newly appointed senior manager of Påryds Planning, in Sweden. Although I have lived and worked in USA for more than ten years, I was born and brought up in Sweden. As a business leader I believe in enthusiasm, courage, and empathy. By empathy I mean having the skill to put oneself in other people’s positions and understand how someone feels about situations and ideas. In my unit I have three different teams working on different accounts. I would like to say that we motivate each other. I think my job is to make sure the company has a purpose for being. I also believe in communicating – in a clear way. By this I mean that I have to tell about everything that is going on and everything that I am planning to do.

  45. Thorsten Schmitz5 November 2011 at 16:12

    Thorsten Schmitz, born 1979 in Bonn, Germany, has been appointed Chief Marketing Officer of The Västervik Experience.

    Thorsten has studied in Germany, Finland and Sweden, earning Master’s degrees in Business Administration (University of Cologne, Germany) and Marketing (Linnaeus University, Sweden).

    His areas of expertise are marketing (especially new product development & business development), finance, and economic geography.

    Having worked for large corporations and organizations such as Deutsche Bank, Citigroup, Fraport (Frankfurt Airport) and the European Parliament, Thorsten has gained an in-depth understanding of how successful companies are operated.

    During his studies Thorsten has developed a true fascination for Northern Europe, which motivated him to leave his home country in order to discover what life has to offer in Finland and Sweden.

    We strongly feel that Thorsten can help to develop our organization, since he knows that there are no easy recipes for success. As he states, “actions count, not paradigms such as sustainability, innovativeness, and customer focus”.

    In his freetime Thorsten likes travelling in Northern Europe and Northern America, meeting his friends, and challenging himself. His most recent challenge is to study Swedish, but in the future he also aims to study Finnish as well as learn to play the guitar.

    Påryd Projektering welcomes Cornelia Nilsson Ekman as a new Project Manager!

    Hi everyone!
    After several years of work at multibillion companies, first as Event Manager at a newly built Hilton in London and then as a project manager at H&M in Stockholm I needed a new challenge.

    When I realized that your company was hiring new personnel I never hesitated. I had heard and read so much about the projects you have done and your vision about being the best goes hand in hand with my view on life.

    I am a “doer” and even though I have got the best possible education and un-valuable experience from my former employers I have always had a desire of helping to build a company from the ground. I want to find a place where I can settle down and when I’m 65 I want to look back and feel I’ve been a part of the business development.

    Since those are my goals I assume you understand that I have had very high demands on a employer before I am joining anything – after only a few days here I am confident your company is that company, the company I will work with for the rest of my working life.

    I work very hard to get what I want. I love high pressure and to get things done, but not without a smile on my face. No matter how tough your life is, smile at it and your life will smile back have always been my motto.

    I am very excited about the potential I see in this co-operation and can not wait to get started.
