More than 1 month here..

This week I would like to talk about some small things at work.

This weekly blog I would like to start with the previous week. The previous week was the funniest week since I have been here. You would ask me why... I will tell you. As was told before the office I am working in has only 8 employees, and previous week everyone, except me and my supervisor was gone. There was an event in Italy, and two of the employees flight there, the other my colleague went to the other event in London and the others worked from home. It was very quiet in the office, especially when my supervisor left. I was alone in the office for a couple of hours, I was trying to work, and I actually did what I was assigned to, but it was quite difficult for me. You don't want to work when nobody is working, you just feel lazy. I felt like a cat, I just wanted to lay on the ground and do nothing. But there was also an advantage of staying alone, I was leaving earlier those days as my supervisor let me do so.

Also about the office. I showed you everything here, except of some rooms. The office has the meeting room, the bathroom, big hall and small office rooms for everyone, where are one or two persons working. I think the room where I am working is the biggest one. I am working here with my supervisor and the other intern, who studies masters in communication. So this is the only office where three people at once are working. But what about some places I haven't showed yes? I just wanted to show that we also have a printing room, with a big printer inside. For me this is printer where the paper and the color never finish :D

I also would like to tell you a little bit more about the company itself. Tech Tour focuses on two event categories - growth events, and emerging events. Growth events, for example the Tech Tour Growth 50, invite companies at the growth stage from across Europe to network and pitch business ideas. Emerging events focus on smaller companies, and offer potential to gain initial funding rounds, as well as business advice and the opportunity to network. In both categories, experts share knowledge, entrepreneurs pitch their companies, coaching sessions are held, and the business trends are explored. Tech Tour’s USP is the small and intimate nature of their events; giving participants an opportunity to make genuine connections with other attendees, and create contacts they will actually follow up with.

As an intern I am focusing on the emerging events.

For the events I need to follow up with the social media. 

This is what the Managing Director of the Tech Tour says about the tone of voice in social media.

"We should turn a tedious calendar e-mail confirmation into a friendly invitation and powerful message. This by honoring and recognizing the mission of our community members and subtly underlining that we really care about them."

And I am trying to do my best to sound like it is stated above. The same works not only for the emails, but also for the twitter page, I am working with. I never thought that finding an article to promote the event is so difficult, maybe it is because I never thought that I will be working in the company that is working on that kind of events.

Actually, I really like working here. This work gives me the opportunity to travel. I am the person that really likes to travel and working in this company gives me an opportunity to visit three countries within just 5 month of working. I think this is really nice to visit more and more countries.

This is it for this week, this weekly blog was the WORKing blog, so I wanted to talk only about the work placement,I think the next week will be more about the work placement as well. But we will see..

And weekly fact is:

Brussels South Charleroi Airport is the most punctual airport in Europe – and it is ranked as the world's second best airport for on-time performance, just behind Japan's Osaka International, in OAG's punctuality report.
