Detailed Work Experience:
Front Desk Agent for a 3 star hotel
Jun 2019 - Sep 2020
The hotel had 295 rooms.
I had day and night 12-hour shifts. The job was to check guests in and out, communicating
with other hotel services and caring for guests to have the best experience staying in the
hotel. I worked with check-lists and written standards. The hotel's team communicated via the
Bitrix 24. During night shifts I was doing night audit, preparing cash for collection, processing
documentation.
The hotel had a big amount of regular customers as well as tourist groups. There was also a
flow of new customers including ones coming from outside as the hotel was close enough to
the city center.
I worked with Fidelio and TESA.
My supervisor was telling me that I'm the part of the team that adds system to the work
process. She valued my attention to details & my willingness to take on responsibility.
Graphic Designer for an owner of several small businesses
Jun 2018 - May 2019
This was a remote job for a person that was my employer before when I worked in an office.
I used Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, CorelDraw.
I was making layouts for different printing materials: flyers, brochures, business cards, posters
and so on.
I’ve created 1 logo and took part in creating another one.
I also was providing images for Facebook and Instagram such as event covers, avatars, and
pictures for posts.
Here you can see my design-portfolio: https://www.behance.net/natschil
The employer called me a designer that is easy to work with and repeatedly told that I had a
talent.
My working term had been arranged and the employer knew half a year beforehand when I
would leave.
Instagram page manager for a business training-games club
Jul 2018 - Nov 2018
This was a part-day job and I worked from home. The Instagram page belonged to a business
training-games club.
From July to September I was the one person in charge of the page. I was looking for the
content, writing texts, creating images for posts with Adobe Photoshop, posting stories,
choosing right hashtags and answering comments.
Then my employer and I agreed on other terms so during November and December my
duties were to look for the content and create images for posts.
The club owner was satisfied with my job. He invited me to come back at any time and said
that he would always have a place for me in his team.
I left the job due to the lack of time.
Administrator for a hostel
Oct 2017 - May 2018
I worked alone at a shift and so was responsible for all parts of the hostel services. I got a
one-day internship and immediately started working. All the additional learning and support I
got during my first working weeks. Approximately 50% of guests were foreigners because the
hostel was placed in the city center.
I had 24-hour shifts during which I could sleep at nights. Though I had to always be available
by phone and to stay up late if the hostel was expecting night check-ins. My duties included:
checking in guests, calling arriving guests in order to know if they would arrive, preparing
beds for new guests, cleaning the hostel, receiving accommodation payments, booking places
via phone, silence control at nighttime.
During my shift I communicated with arriving guests via Booking, WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram.
The hostel used the booking program HotelMS and all the reports were in paper.
The hostel owner called me one of her best employees. She especially valued my sense of
responsibility and a desire to give the best service possible.
I left the hostel because I got a job proposition from one of my previous working places on
new terms.
Database manager for an international
Inbound marketing company (project work)
Jul 2017 - Aug 2017
This was a temporary project job. I worked remotely and my salary was calculated by the
number of hours. All the communication was in English via Slack. My working hours were
tracked with the Harvest App.
The employer was a company that helps businesses to build long-term relationships with
clients using Inbound Marketing.
I was getting different tasks from team members. These tasks mainly contained some simple
operations with data such as checking and editing.
I worked with instruments and programs which were new to me. Each task I got had clear
instructions. I was studying them, understanding the principle and then I would start
completing the task.
During the project, I got some experience in HubSpot and Wordpress.
The working term is short because the company needed additional team members only for
this project.
Designer, copywriter, SMM manager, email marketing manager,
event manager for an educational center
Jun 2015 - Aug 2017
I worked in different spheres according to the employer's needs.
Here is the work I was doing as an email marketing manager: sending invitations to free and
paid events via different email services (we’ve tried Google-groups, Mailchimp, Unisender,
Sendpulse); creating a schedule for a large number of letters; creating a design for letters,
improving open and click rate.
Meanwhile, I managed a Facebook page. That is, I was creating Facebook events, posting
invitations to and photos from events, engaging with our followers in comments.
My copywriting experience in this job consisted of writing more than 300 selling texts for
events. I firstly used the AIDA model and then a standard layout that we created for the
center.
As a designer, I created more than 800 Facebook event covers as well as some flyers, banners, and images for posts. I mainly used Adobe Photoshop and sometimes Adobe Illustrator.
I worked as an event manager for 5 weeks during which I organized 2 courses and 5 master-classes. I worked with a warm client base and trainers’ contacts were provided by the
center.
At this job, I got experience of working with CRM bitrix24. I also participated in weekly team
meetings, yearly strategic sessions and occasional training sessions for the team.
I repeatedly was receiving positive feedback from our leader for my diligence, responsibility,
self-learning and a desire to grow.
I didn’t want to leave this job and it was hard for me to do so. However, I had to make this
decision because of an insufficient salary.
