Q) What is your name? Are you currently working in the marketing industry?
Hi! My name is David and I am a Communications Coordinator.
Q) Why did you decide to enroll in Jelly Academy?
I enrolled with Jelly Academy because I was looking to upskill and just gain some knowledge and be more confident in the work that I do. My experience at Jelly Academy has taught me the more technical stuff towards the work that I do and I think one of the greatest things about that was that I was doing the job and, I guess, I was just doing it because it was part of the job… But now I feel like I've gained that knowledge and understanding of what exactly I'm doing and why I'm so proud to do what I do.
Q) What was your favourite part to learn about?
One of the interesting things is the part of the course that takes you through PR press releases. I've done some press releases before, and I never really understood what the purpose of it was. I knew it was to get a message out there, but I never really understood how much of an impact it actually makes and I'm actually very excited about it. It's something that I'd like to start to explore more and see where it takes me!
Q) What has been your favourite part of being a Jelly Academy student?
One of my favorite moments during the course was when we hit the subject of Public Relations. I really think that the understanding of the breakdowns of everything, you know, you've got your social media aspect, you've got your literal news articles, and understanding how they all play a role within the work that you do… I thought that was mind opening for me and it really was such a great moment for me to go through that learning curve because it helped me understand that that is something I really want to learn and explore that whole area.
Q) Would you recommend this course to other interested students?
I would recommend Jelly Academy to other students because I believe that Jelly Academy just has really mastered a different technique of learning. I really love that I was able to learn online from the comfort of my home. I love that I was able to go back and revisit some of the modules, and if I ever got stuck and didn't understand something, it was great that I could go back revisit that lesson that I was struggling with and just watch it, write it down, press pause, and fully understand what I was learning.
I think that this would be a great opportunity for those that maybe have a similar learning style to me, where sometimes you kind of need to go at your own pace. It’s cool how enthusiastic all the facilitators were and you could tell that they're very passionate about what they're doing and what they're teaching, and it's so encouraging. I feel like I'm in that spot where I I'm kind of discovering, you know, who I am and what I am within my industry, and I hope that maybe one day I'll be able to teach others!
