1. What is the name of your profession (position)? My profession is a free-floating content manager. Content manager - since I am engaged in the text content of a large website dedicated to education; free swimming - because I do it not to the detriment of getting a higher education and in my free time (remote work with irregular working hours). 2. What is your job and what are your responsibilities? I solve, basically, the following three tasks: - Bringing the pages of the site into maximum compliance with the queries in the search engines, according to which site visitors get to these pages. The requirement is simple: the visitor must be satisfied with what he sees on our site by clicking on the request. I receive a list of pages and requests daily from our cheerful IT people; – analysis of popular queries in search engines that are directly related to the content of our site, but which do not go to our site (and again the list is sent by IT people). By googling other sites, I try to understand what information is “good” for these queries for search engines, process it and place it on the site. – daily monitoring of the internal database of sites for the emergence of new interesting information and posting it on our website. 3. What education is required to get your position? It always seemed to me that the work I do does not require any education, just the habit of searching in search engines, instantly discarding irrelevant pages and concentrating on what might be interesting for our site. It is necessary to be able to correlate and structure the available information. And yet, oddly enough, the ability to convey your thoughts to IT people, which can be very difficult, even though they are wonderful with us. I think all this can be learned quickly, but my employers laugh and say that these qualities are the consequences of my analytical thinking and incomplete higher mathematical education. Lies… 4. Describe your working day. My working day four times a week starts at about 16:00 (when classes end at the University), two more - Wednesday and Saturday - when I wake up. To work, it is enough to have a laptop and an Internet, and these two components are always with me. Usually the work takes 3-4 hours a day, but requires full concentration. I am extremely rare in the office, usually I am invited when some new direction is opened. I come and an important uncle talks about strategic plans for the future. 5. How comfortable are your working conditions (all day outside, or in the office with a cup of coffee)? In my second year, when choosing a job, I faced a fundamental limitation: work should not interfere with my studies. In my understanding, this is a key requirement when choosing a job for a student. Another limitation: I wanted the skills acquired at work to be useful after graduation from the university. On osvik, I found the ratings of the most sought-after professions, read there how to properly make a resume for a student, and sent him to the adminnistrators of several sites of interest to me, indicating the mentioned restrictions. Oddly enough, the restrictions were perceived quite adequately, and taking them into account, the working conditions provided to me seem to me as comfortable as possible. At the same time, I agree with those who believe that working both at home and at the university is not very convenient: there are too many distractions. But, again, in my situation, these are the most comfortable conditions. 6. What do you like most about your job? I like two things most of all: firstly, I analyze information, I learn to highlight the main thing, not paying attention to the little things. I believe that this is an invaluable reserve for the future. Secondly, work does not directly interfere with my main occupation: higher education. 7. What do you dislike most about your job? Sometimes it seems to me that I am given too general tasks. The Internet is endless, it's easy to get lost in it. In addition, I agree with the Internet marketer: my work often lacks real communication. Not that it bothers me much now (there is plenty of communication at the University), but I would not want the situation to continue after graduation. 8. If it's not a secret, what is your salary level (is it enough to write whether you are satisfied or not)? The salary is good enough! It is relatively small, but allows a student of the University to feel quite comfortable. And, it seems to me, corresponds to the degree of my employment at work. 9. Describe your team, what kind of people work with you? Directly I work only with IT-shniks. Two funny guys. They don't get out of their computers for days and constantly swear in incomprehensible words like cookies, user agents and sessions. 10. What human qualities do you think are most important in your business? The ability to work without a stick, composure, the ability and desire to figure it out on your own, without asking too many questions. 11. Work gives me additional opportunities (everything that work gives you except money, from self-expression and communication with interesting people to the opportunity to visit different countries). Self-expression - of course, because I largely determine the content of the site (at least I think so). When people tell me about increasing traffic to some pages, about increasing viewing time, etc., I attribute this to my achievements. Even an important uncle, sometimes, positively evaluates my work, which, for some reason, is very pleasant. 12. Do you have the opportunity to evaluate your work on a five-point scale, what grade would you give? In the record book, I would put ex. Friends think that I get paid for beautiful eyes 0
