My work, value for Your money
People who worked with me praised my resourcefulness,
commitment, sense of responsibility and pragmatism. My contagious
good humour is also very appreciated. In fact, I think it is
fundamental to keep a smiling face, specially on adversity.
I believe in continuous self-improvement and that you can not
learn enough ever. I did not hide from anyone that one of my aims
is to get as soon as possible an MBA in International Business, and I am happy
that I finally have it!
In short, with me at your service You can:
- Develop and strengthen your company's international
position;
- Add more creativity to your team;
- Enjoy the services of a skilful, multitalented,
motivated, responsible partner;
- Get that bit of always needed, good old, over-the-edge irreverence.
You want more than this still? Now you are stretching your
expectations.
Remember to keep them feasible, because I sure do. I
am not promising I will make one million euro by the end of the
month. After all, I am just an ordinary human being.
But allow me to
surprise you.
What I am worth
Even before the MBA , my Business Management/Marketing degree was a great tool for my personal development: it is structured so that we are constantly "bothering" companies for (real)
information. Not actually working there, we get a fairly deep
view how the companies and the market work.
After that comes compiling essays (i. e., business analysis
answering by the name of thesis in other
countries), where my computer skills came in hand: by interest or
necessity I developed high skills in Office programs;
Then after, presenting them to the rest of the class, preferably
with multimedia support: helping me with this was my creativity
(for instance, since tender age I practice the noble art of
cartooning), which was continuously put to test.
After all, what would be a Marketing man without creativity?
I use any opportunity to improve my communication
skills. At the moment I speak rather fluently five languages, and
I am trying hard with my sixth. In the medium run, I intend to
add at least two to these.
As Computers and Media always fascinated me, when the Internet
came up, I continued to develop my computer skills, applied to
this global, dynamic media, with enormous possibilities. I got
proficient in Graphic and Web Design, mostly all by myself, I say
without false modesty.
So in the end I was able to develop the concept of
INTERnetIONAL MARKETING.
Meanwhile, I was working here in there in bars, restaurants, and parties (sometimes in charge of the material logistics), so I have also experience in interpersonal relations and customer service, furthermore useful during my year of work in an International Office.
I also dedicated myself to sell traineeships for foreigners to several companies, which is bound to be one of the most difficult "products" to sell.
Play hard, work harder
I have been, I must admit, a lucky person. Most of the times I
get what I want.
Putting it better, I work my brains out
to get what I want. So actually my luck is not
a case of fortune, is the result of hard work. The harder the
task, the more rewarding the result is.
Anyway, more than words, I like to present facts.
Following
the next link will take to a sample of my work.
It is the web version of an essay done for the course of
"Communication in Marketing", which was selected to
appear in the book "Publicitor"-Theory and Practice of
Marketing Communication.
Although the essay was made in group, the translation and
conversion was done solely by me. Therefore you can also evaluate
my technical English language and Web design skills.

Anything that can put my body and brain to carburate. But
mostly the latter.
