Experiencing @ Colosoul

Hi everyone,

Basically, I am working as an event assistant for Colosoul however due to the lack of work for me I am currently working in the Business Hub department for Colosoul. First time working in company which involves PR and Marketing is really not an easy job, my work here includes finding potential clients, and find ways to maintain past clients but that is not the job I do most here, basically my job in Business Hub focusses more on Social Network.


In terms of working on social network basically means that there are clients who hired us to maintain and consult their social network sites, and that is what I do here in Business Hub. This is also my first time dealing with such businesses, it is never easy due to the problems that I have to do massive research on how to enhance social network site and I have to try out everything on my own.


Communication with clients and colleagues or supervisor is the most important factor for me to get my job done, however it is not as easy as it looks, I've faced a lot of issues when I am trying to get my work done when there is a communication breakdown which for a few times clients that wanted me to get their job done as soon as possible always tend to fail in replying my email, and I will always get their reply only when it is near the due date which then I have to rush their work and other's. 


Communicating with colleagues and supervisor is also as important as communicating with clients, basically because I am still a newbie in this industry, I do need a lot of advices and guidance from people who are able to teach me and guide me, fortunately my colleagues are able to do so, however there are sometimes new things that maybe my colleague and I are not aware of how to deal with it, and unable to find the right person to guide us we have to think out ways to do it ourselves which is very time consuming. 


Hopefully, I am able to gain more experience and learn how to solve these problems for my future benefits, that is it for now, I will be sharing more of my thoughts in my future post. 


Thanks for reading.
