Good morning and welcome to this video.
2
Today's video is going to be about something that I've been asked by you so many times
3
and that is how did I get my job.
4
So I thought that today I wanted to take you guys along on a day at my work
5
and of course I will also talk about like my journey and how I got this job, what I've been doing before and also my tips to getting a job like this.
6
As some of you might know I work at a PR and marketing agency based here in Copenhagen.
7
I work as a PR and marketing coordinator
8
and I have been working for the company for three years a lot of people may think
9
that i'm just like attending events and hanging out with influencers all
10
that fun stuff but actually that's only like 10% of my job a lot of things
11
that i do is also heavy lifting also in my position
12
as a coordinator i of course coordinate a lot of stuff
13
so i thought a great way to show you what i
14
do for living is to take you guys along like every day is different
15
but i thought that today was a good day to film
16
because today i'm gonna do like a lot of things
17
that i usually do on a daily basis
18
or like just like on a weekly basis at least and then
19
if you want to see more of like what i do for a living you can subscribe to my channel
20
because sometimes i also include like my work days in my
21
vlogs on my tiktok i've done like a lot of a
22
day in a life as a pr girl living in copenhagen
23
or something like that
24
so you can also on my tiktok see what i do
25
i started in the agency as a part-time pr assistant
26
and now i work as a full-time pr coordinator
27
and like what i mainly do is i do a lot of influencer like giftings
28
and collaborations and then i'm also pretty much in charge of the showroom i'm also in charge of our
29
so me clients it's like pretty much just like influencers
30
and social media i would say like
31
that sums up my job i guess i don't know why it's
32
so difficult to like sum up what i'm doing
33
but that's why i thought
34
that would be a greater way just to show you guys i will start packing my things and go to work
35
this is where i sit probably the messiest desk in this
36
room i'm alone at work i'm actually alone this whole week
37
so that's why i also thought it would be a great day to have you guys along
38
because then i could just talk as much as i want
39
today i'm having two meetings i have one who is going to be here in an hour
40
and then another one who's going to come by in two hours both of them are influencers
41
so we're going to have a little coffee and catch up
42
and also have a look at some of the new things
43
that we got here
44
but firstly i wanna write down a to-do list contact some influencers for a brand
45
and then we have a client who just launched a new collection
46
so i'm gonna contact also some influencers regarding
47
that new collection then i have requested some styles for some influencers
48
and i received them yesterday so today i'm gonna unpack them and send the things to the influencers.
49
I think that's like the main things I need to do today.
50
But as always, I start my day by checking Instagram for influencer clippings.
51
And I do that every day, also in the weekends.
52
First meeting is done.
53
In 15 minutes, I have another showroom meeting.
54
Bye.
55
I thought I would do a little fit check My office outfit
56
Today I'm wearing like pinstripe baby trousers And then this pinstripe skirt
57
Then underneath I have just like a tank top And then my little t-shirt cardigan
58
And then my boots I need to write to some influencers regarding some gift things I'm gonna do that
59
Next thing I think I'm just gonna like explain everything I
60
do today To give you a better insight of my job The girls who stopped by today got some things
61
And to keep track of what things they got We write it all down in our little system
62
Now we have a new jewelry collection that we also need to push.
63
So again, contacting some influencers.
64
This time I'm just gonna contact them on Instagram.
65
So that's what I'm gonna do.
66
We got this package.
67
Let's see what's in it. so so
68
it's almost five since we last talk i have just been sitting on my computer and doing some emails
69
I thought it was time to talk to you about like how I got this job
70
because I get a lot of questions about this and of course I want to share my journey.
71
It can maybe be like a little bit of inspiration
72
or give you an insight to industry
73
and how you can be a part of it
74
and I also just want to say that every story
75
and every journey is different so it also takes a lot of work
76
and sacrifices doesn't come overnight at least it didn't for me i guess i should take you guys back to
77
when i was 14 because the thing is
78
that i always had like the desire to create and back
79
when i was 14
80
or maybe i was 13 maybe i started a youtube channel people in my class
81
and like basically just like on my school had a lot
82
to say about it i was never bullied for it
83
but i definitely got some comments but i guess that people noticed
84
that then i finished my gymnasium
85
and then i had this old friend from my previous school
86
that finished gymnasium a year before me
87
and she did an internship with a magazine she basically just reached out to me
88
and was like i know you're finishing school soon i have this internship do you want to take my place
89
when i'm done with it i'm so sweet of her
90
and i remember her saying that i know that you like fashion
91
because you post all these youtube videos
92
but then i got to the interview for the internship at this magazine i got the internship
93
and the internship was half a year
94
and then you got paid a very small amount
95
and this was like my first internship in like the fashion
96
industry i thought maybe i would have a day like in the movie the devil wears prada
97
and as you might can guess it was nothing like that
98
but it was still like so fun and i learned
99
so much i also developed a lot as a person i remember like my mom's friend telling my mom
100
that i became a lot more like outgoing i wasn't
101
so quiet anymore and i really think that it was the internship
102
that developed me personally so much
103
because all of this was like out of my comfort zone
104
and also doing my internship i also had the opportunity to attend Copenhagen fashion week for the first time
105
which were like surreal i really admired this whole industry
106
and this internship just it was kind of like a validation
107
that i need to work in this industry it is
108
so fun then also doing my internship I also got the opportunity to meet a lot of people in the industry.
109
Besides going to Fashion Week, I also had a lot of contact with different brands
110
and agencies and i've never heard of a pr agency before
111
and i think during my internship i got to speak
112
and work with like all the pr agencies in kobernhagen
113
and i did this internship as the first thing in my
114
gap year after i graduated gymnasium besides working full-time for the magazine i also worked as a sale assistant
115
because i needed more money
116
because i wanted to go for like a three-month vacation in asia
117
so i worked a lot in my weekends
118
and like late hours kind of a busy period
119
but like during this period i was never tired i had
120
so much energy because like the magazine gave me
121
so much energy just like seeing your name in a magazine
122
every week were just like crazy during my three months in
123
asia i also applied for school i applied for this school called copenhagen business academy
124
and i applied for this school because i knew
125
that i wanted to work with marketing and now i knew
126
that i wanted to work in the fashion industry and then
127
when i got home i had no job i still lived with my parents
128
and i still haven't heard from the school yet
129
but actually quite fast i got a job at a copenhagen fashion brand in their flagship store
130
and then i moved to copenhagen
131
and i got approved by the schools everything was great
132
so there were like a lot of new beginnings it was also in this period
133
that i got together with my boyfriend
134
and then in august it was copenhagen fashion week again last
135
season in february i attended with the magazine this time i
136
tried to attend by myself another first i just love looking
137
back at this time it was like such a good time everything was new and exciting
138
and then in the end of august i started my school
139
i started studying marketing management it was only a two-year study
140
so i get academic degree i think it's called then in
141
february i attended opening fashion week again i didn't really do
142
anything like fashion related as a job i still had the
143
job at the fashion brand in their flagship store i still
144
wanted to attend the company fashion week to keep in touch with the people
145
that i knew from my internship and also getting to know more people and like grow my network and then
146
covid came
147
and everything were just like on a pause i couldn't go
148
to work i couldn't go to class all my studies became
149
online then doing my studies i have to do an internship for three months
150
that was also basically the reason why i applied for this school
151
and i knew that i learned so much from my internship at the magazine
152
so i thought that i could do the same again
153
and find a new internship because in my experience i have learned
154
so much more like being in the field instead of just reading a book.
155
During my internship at the magazine, I knew a lot of PR agencies, so I started to apply to a lot of them.
156
And there was actually like one specific agency
157
that I remembered from my internship at the magazine that I thought was so cozy, like had such a great vibe.
158
So I contacted them and they told me that they didn't took in any interns.
159
Then I applied to some other places
160
and I ended up working for a new digital marketing agency
161
and I got hired as a digital marketing assistant
162
and I actually started my internship a bit earlier than I
163
had to for me three months didn't sound like a lot even though I had to do it unpaid
164
but I wanted to sacrifice that
165
and get some more work experience I ended up working for the agency for five months
166
and doing my internship I learned a lot about PR and social media
167
I got like to work with content creation and influencer marketing
168
and then right before my internship stopped the agency
169
that I contacted before the agency that I thought was very cute
170
and very cozy they contacted me and said
171
that they didn't have an internship place for me
172
but they had a shop opening so they asked me
173
if I wanted to come in and have a chat
174
and of course I was so thrilled
175
so of course I said yes yeah I was so happy and like being headhunted kinda
176
and like in this period I remember
177
that one of my friends told me like that I was
178
so lucky and yes I felt lucky too
179
but also I have done like two internships and I've built a network
180
and like hard work pays off
181
but basically I met up with the agency we had a
182
little chat I got the job three days after I stopped the internship I started at the agency
183
and surprise surprise the agency that hired me is the agency
184
that I'm working for now here I started as a PR assistant
185
so I worked here part-time because I still had to finish my studies
186
but I remember i was
187
so happy like just getting paid in this industry was kind of big for me then i finished my studies
188
and i remember i was so happy not
189
because i didn't like the school
190
or anything i don't think it was like creative enough for me
191
so i applied for a new school
192
that was like a more creative school to finish my bachelor i only had the academic
193
but unfortunately i didn't get in i remember i was quite all right with it
194
because i also debated like should i apply now
195
or should i just like apply next year maybe it would
196
be fun just to have like a year where i could just work a bit more
197
so yeah basically for a year i worked at the agency four days a week
198
and then at the store one to two times a week yeah then it was august again
199
and again it was copenhagen fashion week this time i didn't
200
attend as a guest i was more like behind the scenes
201
and experience like hosting events and it was also very fun
202
but i also remember i was so tired
203
because you still go to all the parties in the evening
204
but this time you have to wake up early
205
because you have to work
206
and then like eight months after i got hired at the pr agency i started working with some somi clients
207
and then i got promoted to pr and show me coordinator
208
and then again i applied for the school to get my bachelor degree i really did my best
209
and i also had help from my colleague
210
and from a person who have studied at the school before
211
but yeah again i didn't get in this was really like
212
a hard one for me to swallow like i never had
213
this form of rejection before like i know i was we gifted last year
214
but i was all right with it um
215
but like this time i really wanted to get in yeah
216
it kind of made me feel like a bit of a failure
217
but then as i didn't get into the school i then quit my job at the fashion store
218
and started working full-time at the pr agency
219
and yeah here i am i'm still working for the agency i have worked here for three years
220
and i have thought about
221
applying for the bachelor again
222
but i don't know maybe i just got scared after being rejected two times
223
and also i feel like you learned
224
so much more from being in the field than learning from a book that's my opinion at least
225
and if i should recommend you guys something it was to do an internship i know
226
that a lot of people think that it's stupid to work full-time for no money
227
but i've learned so much from my internships
228
and i would have never have gotten this job
229
if i didn't did my internship at the first place because
230
that was the way that i got in contact with the agency
231
and then another tip is network is everything be out there network with people maybe attend some open events
232
and like try to mingle with people anyways that's my story as i said in the beginning
233
every story and every journey is different
234
so this is not like a recipe for how to get a job in the fashion industry
235
if you have any questions you are more than welcome to write a comment
236
or send me a message on instagram i would be happy
237
to help you guys even though i'm not an expert i'm only an expert in my own experience
238
so again you do you i think i want to end this video now thank you
239
so much for watching i hope you will subscribe to my
240
channel i will of course include workdays in my upcoming vlogs
241
so just thank you so much for watching and i hope i'll see you in my next one

この動画で話す練習をする理由は?

この動画は、ファッション業界での仕事やPR(広報)及びソーシャルメディアコーディネーターとしての経験について話しています。彼女のリアルな体験談を通して、仕事環境や業務内容がどのようなものかを学ぶことができるため、英語の学習に役立ちます。実際の業務に関連する会話を聞くことによって、活用できる表現や語彙を身につけることができるのです。また、動画を見ながらスピーキングの練習をすることで、発音やイントネーションを改善することができ、より自然な会話が可能になります。特に、日常会話の中で使われるフレーズに重点を置いていますので、YouTubeで英語学習を行うのに最適です。

文法と文脈における表現

動画内で使用されている重要な文の構造を分析すると、以下のようなポイントが挙げられます。

  • 過去形の使用: 「私はこの会社で3年間働いています」といった表現から、過去の経験を説明しています。
  • 進行形: 「私は仕事をしているところです」といったように、日常の業務を進行形を使って説明することで、リアルな状況が伝わります。
  • 依頼の表現: 「インフルエンサーに連絡します」といったフレーズでは、他者への依頼をシンプルに表現しています。
  • 接続詞の使用: 「というわけで、今日はこの動画を取ることにしました」という構造で、理由をつなげて話しています。

これらの表現を使用することで、ビジネスシーンでも通じる英会話を身につけることができます。

一般的な発音のトラップ

この動画で注意が必要な発音のポイントは以下の通りです。

  • 「influencer(インフルエンサー)」: 日本語に慣れ親しんでいると誤って発音してしまうかもしれません。しっかりと「インフルエンサー」と発音練習をしましょう。
  • 「coordinator(コーディネーター)」: 強調すべき音節に注意して、流れるように発音することが重要です。
  • 「agency(エージェンシー)」: 正しい発音を練習することで、会話の中で聞き取られやすくなります。

これらの言葉を含む会話を「shadow speech」や「shadow speak」の練習として活用すれば、英語の流暢さや発音を改善できるでしょう。ぜひこの「shadowing site」や関連するリソースを活用して、 YouTubeで英語学習を続けてみてください。さらに、shadowspeakの手法を用いることで、効果的に自己表現力を高められるでしょう。

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
