Introduction
Hi, I’m Hana and I am a social media associate.
What responsibilities come with your role?
Since I’m a social media associate, I help manage all of our organic social media channels—LinkedIn, X, YouTube, Instagram—anything you can think of, we’re on it as ezCater. So, I’m normally managing all those channels. I am handling our editorial calendar, planning out what we want to post for the rest of the month. I’m scheduling out posts. I’m doing content creation. I wear a lot of hats in the social media realm, but it’s very, very fun. And it’s nice to have a different day-to-day.
A typical day
For me, the day-to-day really varies based off what’s going on that week. Social is very fast-paced and always changing. I would say sometimes there could be a big campaign launch going out, so I’m doing a lot of prep for that. Most of the time, I’m doing community moderation. Every morning I try to go through and respond to as many comments as I can, going through all of the accounts that may have tagged us or DM’d us. And then a lot of times I’m scheduling out posts, making sure that everything is set for the rest of the week. And then my favorite part is always when I get to do content creation. I love being able to film videos and taking an idea from the start of my document into an actual video that we get to post later. So that’s what I do day-to-day.
What attracted Hana to ezCater
I really loved that they had this really great culture. They’re very people-first, very human-first. And the culture recipe just really aligned with me as a person. That was something very important to me going into my second co-op, hoping that maybe this could end up being something full-time in the future. They are very flexible and, of course, the free lunches were a big, big thing for me wanting to come here. And I’m very glad that I did because the people are great and it’s just as what was promised to me online. So, I was very, very happy.
Advice for someone looking to join ezCater
I think my advice would be to just be yourself. I know it’s super cliche and a lot of people say that, but at ezCater, we really value who you are as a human. And so, when you’re in the interview process, don’t try to fit a certain mold. Part of our culture is that we want you to be a culture add, not fit into our culture. And so, being yourself is probably one of the biggest things here at ezCater. And you always add to the company no matter what your background is and what your personality is. We always love to see people being themselves.
