This is the post to which you add your Warm-Up 1 task as a Comment (i.e. click on the Comment button below). When you add your Comment, don't forget to write your name on the post! You'd be amazed how much detective work I sometimes have to do to find out who actually wrote the comment!
Warm-Up 1 asks you to write a personal presentation for a web site. This is a general message that goes out to everyone who visits the web site of the new company you've just got a job with. I.e. it needs to be informative, but a bit general - and a good piece of advertising for your new employer. In other words, you need to show how smart your new employer is for hiring you!
You'll find a couple of useful links on the Warm-Up 1 page: one from the 'How to Do Things' site with some general advice, and an example of personal presentations from the Ericsson company.
You'll also find the 'Warm-Up 1 and Send-In 1' Podcast to be of help too.
You'll also find the 'Warm-Up 1 and Send-In 1' Podcast to be of help too.
When the Warm-Ups have all been marked and sent back (by me, David), I'll post a general comment in a post on this blog, with advice for everyone about Send-In Task 1.

Påryd Projektering welcomes Cornelia Nilsson Ekman as a new Project Manager!
Hi everyone!
After several years of work at multibillion companies, first as Event Manager at a newly built Hilton in London and then as a project manager at H&M in Stockholm I needed a new challenge.
When I realized that your company was hiring new personnel I never hesitated. I had heard and read so much about the projects you have done and your vision about being the best goes hand in hand with my view on life.
I am a “doer” and even though I have got the best possible education and un-valuable experience from my former employers I have always had a desire of helping to build a company from the ground. I want to find a place where I can settle down and when I’m 65 I want to look back and feel I’ve been a part of the business development.
Since those are my goals I assume you understand that I have had very high demands on a employer before I am joining anything – after only a few days here I am confident your company is that company, the company I will work with for the rest of my working life.
I work very hard to get what I want. I love high pressure and to get things done, but not without a smile on my face. No matter how tough your life is, smile at it and your life will smile back have always been my motto.
I am very excited about the potential I see in this co-operation and can not wait to get started.

One of our biggest projects right now is to create an attractive resort in Västervik which is a long term project.

THE VÄSTERVIK EXPERIENCE
Påryd Projektering AB Welcomes New Business Manager
ReplyDeleteMy name is Nathan Jones and I am very happy to be the newest member of the Påryd Projektering AB team. After graduating from Northern Arizona University with a bachelor’s degree in finance, I continued my studies at Stanford University where I received my MBA. I then began my career with Ford Motor Company as a regional manager. I was responsible for the central Arizona region. This was a challenging but rewarding experience. During this time, my team and I were able to increase the region’s revenue by 14 percent. Desiring a new challenge, I then accepted a position with IKEA in Älmhult, Sweden. I was responsible for contact between the head office located in Älmhult and the American distributors. It was my responsibility to ensure that all shipments were received on time and that all orders were complete and delivered in good condition. During my time there, I helped to streamline the logistics flow and my team and I reduced the number of lost/incomplete shipments by 8 percent.
I look forward to continuing my career here at Påryd Projektering AB as the new business manager. It is my goal to help the company reach its full potential and become a market leader in the Kalmar area by ensuring that current and future contracts are handled professionally and successfully.
Thomas Miller appointed CEO of The Västervik Experience
ReplyDeleteAfter graduating in Politics and Organization, Thomas Miller worked in Ghana for the United Nations' World Tourism Organization helping to build up a competitive tourism sector. While fighting corruption in Ghana, he gained his M.A. from The Open University in Modern Languages with distinction.
Still in quest for new challenges he worked as a freelance consultant in the field of tourism and corruption, with a strong focus on startup companies. In this way, he took part in some of the most successful company foundations, such as the South African Tourism Radio Partners.
After several years of intercultural working experience mainly in the southern hemisphere Thomas Miller has now been drawn to the North and will enrich and promote Västervik Experience. Thanks to his intensive previous cooperations with various EU bodies, he will be able to strengthen Västervik's position as a major tourism location within Europe.
At least equally important, he will focus his efforts on the expansion of collaborations with our Chinese partners. As a delighted foreign language learner who is currently perfecting his Mandarin he will be a great addition to our team.

My name is Lina Lindfors, I was born in 1983 and I am the latest to join the company behind The Västervik Experience. I will be working as a supervisor at the accommodation and rental department.
ReplyDeleteAs for my background, I am a former real estate agent and prior joining The Västervik Experience, I worked with the presentation and marketing of high class accommodations for several years. I think that my personal knowledge and knowhow of the real estate business will come very handy as a supervisor for the department, meaning that our existing and prospecting clients will offer and have an even better holiday experience.
My goal is that all clients who decide to rent accommodations through The Västervik Experience get the very best in housing and feel as if they have brought their own dream home with them to their holiday destination.
I am very proud to have joined the existing team of professionals at The Västervik Experience and I am confident that we will have a thriving season to look forward to.

ReplyDeleteI have been working in larger companies in Sweden, recently at ITT Flygt, and mainly with different kinds of questions in marketing and engineering. When this opportunity came along, working in a smaller company with close relationships and quick decisions, I did not hesitate to take on the assignment. I have long experiece of similar missions, working with subcontractors from different countries, including China and is really looking forward bringing new ideas to Alsjöholm Mekaniska Verkstad AB.
Furthermore, I took my Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering at KLT (Kungliga Tekniska Högskola) in Stockholm. As I was interested in Marketing too, I took courses in that subject besides my education. After my studies I was employeed at Sandvik AB, mostley working as an engineer developing mechanical machines and with technical solutions. After working there for four years, I wanted to expand my knowledge in Marketing, wanted a combination of both. ITT Flygt in Emmaboda was searching for an Marketing Engineer and I decided to apply for it and got the job. Now after six years I felt I needed a new challenge and the opportunity came along with Alsjöholm.
I will do my best using all my knowledge and experience to make Alsjöholm Mekaniska Verkstad AB to modernise and become one of the best in their field.
I would like to introduce myself as the new Business Manager of Påryd Projektering AB. My name is Rebecca Blair and I look forward to working with you.
ReplyDeleteI believe that this company has immense potential, and I am convinced I can contribute to the growth and development that is already in process.
I earned a Bachelor’s Degree with Specialization in Management at the European School of Economics in New York, which gave me a lot of useful tools to do what I want in life. I realized at an early age that I am a natural leader, which is why I have chosen this path. I grasped this at first when I was in junior high school. I was (and still am) very interested in sports and I have played everything from soccer to tennis. In my school team’s I was always chosen to be the Team Leader, and I continuously enjoyed it! That settled in to other aspects of my everyday life.
When Påryd Projektering offered me the role as Business Manager, I instantly felt that it was the right job for me. Especially since I have travelled a lot and spent a lot of time working in Asia, so I really feel that I have the cultural understanding that is necessary in the type of projects that Påryd Projektering do.
Please let me know if you have any inquiries; I will gladly answer your questions.
Best regards,

Dear everyone !
This is Linda Kim who was appointed as the Business Manager since this summer.
First of all, I want to tell you how exciting it is to start working here!
Since I read about the history of the company for about a year ago, I was fascinated by the company's drive and continuos growth.
The company values, passion and care, were precisely the value that I endear so much. Even though it is not so long since I started working here, I am quite sure that I came to the right place.
I worked as project manager in different IT projects in South Korean, after getting master degree in Industrial Engineering in Seoul University. I moved to Stockholm in 2005. I have since then continued working on different projects, mostly in big international companies in order to increase their market share and optimize cost in their asian markets. During my stay in Stockholm, I also achieved one of important goal in my life; my two lovely kids who are 6 and 3 years now. Most of my private time go to activities with my family.
I am very focused, driven person with great attention on the quality of result.
At the same time, I believe in constant improvement and flexible attitude for solving problems. I am looking forward to contribute to our business with my expertise in asian and Swedish companies.

ReplyDeleteBorn in 1993, Belarus.
Education:
Now I am the third year student of the Faculty of Journalism at Belarusian State University. My specialization is ‘international journalism’.
Experience:
I have started to write articles for newspapers four years ago. I had a practice in regional newspaper. Usually I write about cultural and youth life, social themes are my priority too.
At this time I work on a radio “Belarus”. I chose especially this radio, because it broadcasts on the abroad. So this specific is in keeping with my specialization in university.
Also I am a participant of different seminars at my faculty. For example, I took part in seminar devoted to cross-journalism. Received experience helps me to combine working in the radio and writing newspaper articles.
I am interested in scientific work. My work is about stylistics of the Byelorussian language. I speak and work in this language as a rule. So it is very interesting and useful for me to carry out the research in this field.
Personal characteristics:
I think I am hardworking and single-minded. I hope these characteristics help me to become a personality in future.
Wo shi, je suis, I am Anna Rehncrona who just joined The Västervik Experience. I will guide us through new opportunities and challenges ahead!
ReplyDeleteI am originally from Skåne where I studied International Business Administration with French as main language at Lund University. I have studied and lived abroad in quite a few countries including France, China and the US. Through my international experiences I have developed a great understanding of different cultures and an ability to quickly establish valuable networks. These will be key success factors in promoting our future plans for Västervik. My in depth understanding of Chinese culture will be especially useful when working with the Chinese investment in our region.
My background as a management consultant has equipped with me strong project management skills. I strive to exceed expectations and will reach goals in a timely manner. More recently I have worked as a Supplier Relationship Manager within Saab Aerosystems in Linköping. My ability to coordinate several tasks at the same time and my excellent negotiation skills will benefit us when expanding our local tourism industry.
I am looking forward to working with the development of our city and surroundings!

With remarkable communication skills and a great global interest, we proudly present Jaquline Elgh as our latest addition to the team at Påryd Projektering AB. Following is a brief presentation of who she is and some selected accomplishments from her career.
ReplyDeleteCommunicative, positive, responsible and efficient are words that describe me well. I have a great interest in traveling and meeting new people as well as helping others and take the lead. Already as a 13 year old, I was the president of several youth associations (equestrian) as well as I have been working during every vacation since I was 15 years old.
I have great linguistic skills thanks to my Irish heritage along with my interest in languages; Swedish, English, Spanish and Italian. It has helped me to develop my communication skills which I've been depending on throughout life.
2011 I arranged several meetings at the UN headquarters in New York City as we were going there with our class. I met with both country missions, the Red Cross and Human Rights Watch.
2012 I was the Project Manager of a fundraising-project (including a visit) to an orphanage in Riga, Latvia.
I enjoy the leading position because I am very structured, creative and collaborative. Even if I am not announced as a leader in a group, I automatically end up being the informal leader due to my creative and active approach.
I think Påryd Projektering AB is the perfect place for me to use and develop my skills as well as it will help me gain experience on the global field of Business. I am convinced that we will benefit from each other!

Education:
I finished the High School in 2008 in a Bilingual Institute, and I started two degrees the same year, Journalism and Media. I have been working in digital newspapers writing chronicles and interviews. I also like different cultures, that is why I studied one year of Japanese.
Skills:
I consider myself as a sociable person, I am always working in groups, using cameras and writing articles. I solve the problems quickly because I think that is the best way to continue working and not to focus just in one thing. I also grow up surrounded by technology, this is why I find what I want in Internet really fast, I think this is a useful skill because in this globalized world you have to be the first one who discover new things or broadcast new information.

I love travel and discover new cultures, I like cinema also, main reason of why study Media. I like to spend time with my friends talking about movies or journeys. I like to reach my goals, and my new one is to speak Japanese fluently.
