The Job
Since 2018 I have worked part time with The Marketing Crowd mainly as a video editor but also doing some website updates. Occasionally I work in the office in Kerry but most of this work is done remotely as I am attending University in Dublin.
​
Video editing:
-
I use a video editor called Filmora on PC and I edit training videos.
-
The editing involves cutting out parts of the video, adding music, graphics and text
-
Designing graphics and thumbnails for the videos in Canva
-
I also upload the videos to a video hosting platform (Sprout Video)
Website updates:
-
Occasionally I update the company website and also the members’ website. Both of these are Wordpress websites.
-
The website updates typically involve adding images, editing text and embedding videos.


Skills I learned
-
Technical skills: Such as Video editing, website maintenance and image design.
-
Visual presentation skills: I have learned the importance of being able to present complicated information to people in an understandable way though video editing and creating graphics
-
Time management & prioritisation: I often work to deadlines as the video need to be edited on time. I also need to juggle and prioritise this work with my studies.
