Warm-Up 1

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 do that, don't forget to write your name on the post! You'd be amazed how much detective work I sometimes have to do!

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.

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.

  3. My name is Torbjörn Karlsson and I’ve recently been appointed Business Manager for Påryd Projektering AB where I will be a head-responsible of the new Chinese contract which we hope will become very profitable.

    I’ve always paid a big interest in east-Asia and especially China for its immense history and culture. Admitting that my task will be challenging I also acknowledge that I am a very flexible and enthusiastic person, and I will strive to make this a long-term exchange of products as well as experiences.

    Until I got this mission I have been home with my now 1 year old daughter. Before that I have been a Business Manager for Scania AB, SweRock AB. I’ve also had some quality development assignments in the local public sector.

  4. Educational qualifications (selection):
    Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm
    ISTQB, SW Test course and certification
    Industrial design, FWK Institute of art, Finland
    Work experience (selection:)
    During three last projects at I&V, BSC Software Verification (SV) as a BSC Upgrade test object leader (TOL), OSS SW engineer as responsible for maintenance testing, BSC System integration engineer, all at Ericsson AB.
    SBA Group, production manager, quality expert and project manager for external projects.
    CA Monitor AB, Consultant, translation of tenders and outside expert..

    As a new employee and a marketing engineer in the Alsjöholm Mekaniska Verkstad AB I will use my experiences and visions to find new modern well-designed products for demanding European customers. An example of this is to develop the already existing automatic door-closing and opening device to work with your mobile phone as a key and that is not all. The system is controlled by a computer so a lot of different variations can be configured, it can, to example, act almost as a secretary, taking messages and forwarding them to different e-mail addresses or as sms.
    Some words about me. I can’t imagine life without development and constant learning. I love to spend time with my family, consisting of a 5-year old son and a husband. Gardening and fixing with our house is also something I do together with my husband. As usual at the age of 5, my son claims quite a lot of time even in form of involvement in all his different activities. But I also enjoy reading and I try to find some time for that too time to time.

  6. Personal Presentation:

    I was born in 1977 in Kalmar. After I graduated from elementary school I moved to Gothenburg where I earned a Master of Science in Tourism and Hospitality Management at the School of Business, Economics and Law at Gothenburg University. Two months ago I returned to Kalmar to take on my new position at Västervik Experience.
    I have more than 5 years of experience from the tourism industry, most recently from Göteborg & Company where I was the head of the Leisure Travel Department.
    It is with great enthusiasm that I will take on my role at Västervik Experience, and I hope that my love for the east oust region and knowledge and experiences in the tourist trade will be an important contribution to the company. I am also planning, with help from my new colleges, on applying the successful promoting of the Gothenburg region to the Kalmar region with the goal to highlight Kalmar as on of Sweden’s most important tourist resorts.

  8. The new coordinator of the Västervik Experience is me, Åsa Isaksson! Not long ago I left Peking after a wonderful month with sports in the Bird´s Nest. Now we are expecting the Chinese to come and see Västervik! With my 30-hp Chinese course and great China interest I will meet them properly. The knowledge I got from studying Tourism Management at the University of Westminster, will benefit the development of The Västervik Experience. In Sweden I have worked three years with Skärgårdguiden, which is a market place on the net for business in the Swedish archipelago. There I deployed skills in managing websites, which will be an advantage when we now make the Västervik Expecience known all over to China.

    Presentation of our new marketing engineer!

    My name is Thomas Olofsson and I´m originally from Götene in Västergötland. I´m a graduate from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. After business practise in several large companies, even abroad, and in several different branches, I happened to get a tip from a very good friend. My friend told me Alsjöholm Mekaniska Verkstad AB needed a new marketing engineer. As soon as I met the leader of the company and was presented to its competent staff, premises and machinery of production, I realized this was the new challenge that I needed. Alsjöholm Mekaniska has been a prospering company with high-end technology products for a long time. I believe I can bring the company some new ideas and create further contacts with new partners for coming, favourable affairs.
    I believe my experiences will contribute to bring new products, capital and knowledge to my new employer. We shall work for higher standards of environmental thinking and ultimately safeguarding the jobs at Alsjöholm.
    A summery of my career looks as follows:
    1995-1998: Trainee at Ericson Telecommunication
    1998-2003: Junior marketing Engineer at Nokia
    2003-2006: Marketing Engineer for ASEA in England
    2006-2009: Sales Engineer at Värnamo Mekaniska Verkstad AB.

    Beside my terrific job I love sporting, cinema, cooking and being with my family. We are soon going to settle down nearby Nybro, I hope!
    Thank You all for Your interest!

  20. The sea and the beautiful archipelago are two of the things that I Linda Johansson strongly associate with the unique town of Västervik. After growing up in the midland of Sweden, the first thing I did after graduated from high school, was to move to a city close to the coast.

    I took the job as a leader of the Västervik Experience after several years in the competitive tourism industry were I have among other things worked in a hotel and as a guide at a castle. The tourism industry has always interested me and it finally led me to a Bachelor Degree in Tourism- Economics from the University of Kalmar.

    With my commitment and my engagement to the city, I believe that the Västervik Experience is going to develop to a greater, better and more easy accessible town for tourists in the future.

  26. My name is Marie Jonsson and I´ve just started to work at Påryd Projektering as a Business Manager and I will be responsible of the new Chinese contract which I hope will lead to Chinese investments in the Kalmar region.

    I have just moved back to Sweden after spending some time in Beijing. I worked as a Communication Officer for the website of The New Beijing University of Technology.

  28. My name is Ana Palenzuela and I’m the newest and youngest staff member of The Västervik Experience. I have a Bachelors Degree in Tourism Management from Queensland University in Australia, after graduation I travelled the world for a year and a half before moving back to Sweden where I started working at a tourist information center for a couple of years. Since I grew up in the east coast I saw The Västervik Experience job opening as an opportunity to return to my roots. I have various ideas for how to advertise and most importantly how to allure future guest to such a beautiful and serene town as Västervik. It has numerous potential of becoming one of the leading tourist spots in Scandinavia due to the archipelagos and its breath taking surroundings.

    Professionally I am a person with high moral values and very straight forward. Personally, besides having high moral standards I am also down to earth and a fun loving person who enjoys spelunking, hiking, going to the gym for daily exercises, read autobiographies of famous designers such as Coco Chanel and collecting vintage shoes and purses.

    I look forward to making the city of Västervik one of the leading tourist attractions in Scandinavia.

    Yours sincerely,
    Ana Palenzuela

    Position: Business Manager
    Based: Påryd , Sweden

    My name is Anne-Sofie Olsson and is the new Business Manager at Påryd Projektering AB . I’m looking forward to work with the new Chinese contract. I think we could build good business relationships that will gain both Påryd and the Chinese market. I’m convinced that we will offer the Chinese investors a contract that they will find appealing and we will show them number of reason to establish in the Kalmar region.

    I have a Bachelor degree in Business Economics and before joining Påryd I worked six years at OKQ8 financial department. There I was responsible for coordinating the planning activity within the accounting and establish strong working relationships with their International Business partners.

    I’m no different than other economist, I like structure, order and maths but I’m also a very positive person and easy to get along with. I have a big interest in home furnishings and read a lot in the subject. I live in an old house with my husband Roger and our three kids.
