Hey Guys,
As of yesterday, I have officially made it through my first month as a Digital Marketing Apprentice.
It’s crazy to think about. I’m just sitting here, wondering where the time has gone? It feels like just yesterday I was telling you all about getting the interview and being told I had the job.
In a matter of weeks my life has turned a full 360 degrees, from what felt like endless months of dead ends to landing the job I had been hoping for, in a company where I am able to grow and progress.
So, in honor of this, and because I know some people were interested in finding out, I decided it would be a great idea to share with you how this first month went and what I have been doing in my apprenticeship up to yet.
The First Day:
I remember the first day, and all of the preparation I did for it, searching across the internet for hours for tips and how other peoples first days went on the same apprenticeship. I even took to Twitter, and messaging people who were currently on apprenticeships for support and reassurance (Thanks for the positivity and thoughts by the way, you all really helped). I felt I really needed it.
However, it turned out I had been overthinking it all too much. I really shouldn’t have worried as much as I did. Everyone was so nice and understanding towards me when it came to any questions I had, and thankfully the marketing team, although only small, are so amazing and extremely helpful, especially the Marketing Executive at our office who I work with the most at the office.
In terms of actual work, my first day mainly consisted of initial training, checking over what project I would mainly be working on, as well as providing some content suggestions. It was absolutely great. I couldn’t stop smiling when I got home, I actually felt as though I had achieved something in only one day.
Awesome Things About The Apprenticeship So Far:
- I have picked up so many valuable skills already
- Have faced my fear of answering the phone head on
- Faced my fear of going being in a city on my own
- Get to write blog posts for other people and have some scheduled for upload soon
- Been to several meetings, both in person and to our team in India using Skype
- Had some of my content ideas used on websites
- Worked on Social Media, including platforms I have never used before
- Using Hootsuite to schedule Tweets and Facebook posts
- Looked into Promotional Ads for Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin
Going To The Apprenticeship Company For the First Time:
The Apprenticeship itself is the Level 3 Digital Marketer, which I am going to be doing through 3aaas, and unlike some Apprenticeship companies where you attend once a week, I will only have to be there once or twice a month.
I was invited to go down to the office the other day for my official enrollment onto the course.
The evening before was quite the nightmare for me, because the idea of going to a big city and being there on my own was terrifying to me, but thanks to support from my parents I was able to get through it.
Again, it wasn’t as bad as I made it out to be.
Whilst there I ended up getting some more information about what I would be doing as well as having to sing a LOT of paperwork and complete a few initial assessments to check where I am right now with my Maths, English and IT, and what might need working on, which thankfully isn’t much. It was very beneficial and even though the assessments dragged a little, I was just glad I pushed myself to go regardless of how I felt.
I’m looking forward to going there again soon!
Anyway, the last few weeks have been absolutely amazing and although there have been a few bad moments where I have felt like I let myself down and made some silly errors, I had to remain positive and keep my head held high, keep going, because hey, we all make mistakes and I am there to learn not to just automatically know it all!
Overall, it has been a great experience so far, the best part being, I am doing what I love, content writing and working with blogs/websites. I am excited to see what is next!
Omg it looks like you had an amazing month!!!!! 😀 I’m so proud of you, you’re amazing and I hope you get amazing opportunities in life!!!! 😀 ❤
And it's ok to make mistakes, it's human, just what you said on your other post!!!! 😀
