Web editing at a university of applied sciences
Detours also lead to the goal - even if it is not entirely clear at the beginning what this goal actually is. Julia Pater graduated from the binational Master's degree program in Linguistics, Cultural Studies and Literature at the University of Kassel in 2014. Like many of her fellow students, she actually wanted to work in a publishing house afterwards - but then started as a marketing trainee in a medium-sized company. For over four years, she worked on the production of specialist magazines, maintained the company website, managed the Facebook presence and coordinated external editors, agencies and partners at, among other things. She then moved to a hiking and leisure association with over 30,000 members as Marketing Manager. Organizing events, financial management, looking after sponsors and coordinating operational processes in consultation with the management were some of her tasks. But she wasn't really happy with it - quite the opposite. So she decided to resign at the beginning of 2020. There was no way of knowing that the coronavirus pandemic would turn the world upside down in the months that followed. But Julia Pater kept going.
She underwent career coaching, reflected on her professional career, became aware of her successes, skills and, ultimately, her aspirations. In the end, she realized that she had always enjoyed working on and writing texts for websites - and that it had been part of almost all of her internships, part-time jobs and full-time activities. This was followed by further professional training as an online editor to deepen her existing knowledge. Immediately afterwards, she started her current job as a web editor at the South Westphalia University of Applied Sciences. Her responsibilities here include designing and maintaining the website, writing and editing texts and providing internal service and user advice.
She will talk more about this and her experiences of starting her career on January 27, 2022. The event will take place online via Zoom. It will start at 17:00 (s.t.) and is expected to last one and a half hours.
