INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
Name: Eva Nguyen (She/Her)
BCITMA Position: VP of Digital Marketing
Why did you join the BCITMA?
"I joined the BCITMA to push my limits, create connections with those around me, and learn and develop my interpersonal skills.”
What does your role look like as a VP of your committee?
”I'm responsible for overseeing and approving any big decisions on the BCITMA social platforms. For example, any changes on the website, posting content for all social platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok, Linkedin), and creating and mentoring eager committee members with knowledgeable information regarding digital marketing.”
Do you have any experiences you would like to share from your time as a VP?
”I don't have any experiences at the top of my head, but if I think of the grand scheme of my experience, I have nonetheless faced valuable lessons that I believe I can carry out throughout the rest of my marketing career.”
How do you keep your personal and work/school life balanced?
”Since my committee is digital marketing and essentially always on social media because of it, it makes it 10 times harder to try and find a work-life balance. For the committee, I try to only work on committee-related things with a 9 am-5 pm schedule, so there is a set time- just because I find it quite easy to work on for long durations of time. As for school and work, I have work once a week, so I try to keep homework on weekdays, and the only other day I have free to catch up on unfinished assignments.”
Can you share what you’ve learned so far with BCITMA?
”It has not been the easiest experience, but through what I have learned throughout this role, it is definitely a learning curve in comparison to the first year of marketing communications. As I am working through the second year Marketing Management-Communications option, the information that is being taught is, for the most part, very relevant to all things digital marketing. For example, knowing the key metrics to analyze and utilize when looking at the success of a media post to what actually catches the attention of the consumer looking at the content put out.”
Any tips or tricks you would like to share with Marketing students?
”Allocate your time accordingly!! It's definitely easier said than done, and I am definitely still struggling with it to this day, but if I could go back in time, I would attempt to try and find better solutions to aid my procrastination to save me all the late nights working on assignments or just to study in general. So save yourself and attempt to do your assignments as their assigned!”
