On Thursday 13th Jue 2019, I first met Christine Watson, my trainer, which resulted in the creation of my Learning Plan. Since then, I have been working away at completing a variety of courses, discovered via TrainingMatchmaker.com, editing, updating and creating blog content, and attending exciting learning events such as a Google Breakfast Briefing on YouTube in the Google European Headquarters in Dublin. Below is a log of all that I have accomplished and learnt in the past month on my traineeship with TrainingMatchmaker.com.
To put my newfound skill into practice I got the opportunity to participate in a Twitter Takeover on @trainingmatches and @watsonsmarketing during business community event – online networking hour: #BelfastHour. This provided me with great insight into the interaction of businesses around Belfast on Twitter. It was a great way to engage with others while promoting Training Matchmaker as well as putting my new Twitter skills to the test. In doing this, I also used Hootsuite to schedule some of these tweets, which was very useful as I felt a lot more organised and prescheduling some tweets allowed me a little extra time for social listening and active engagement with other real businesses active in the online community.
