The story of colleague Kim

For more than a year, I had been wondering what opportunities the job market had in store for me in the field of digital marketing. Out of pure interest, I took several courses and obtained a number of certificates. Yet, I was left wanting more…

After a career in the traditional marketing world, including running my own business and gaining many years of experience in events and communication, I decided to take a remarkable turn. Back to basics. Back to learning. And most importantly: forward, to a new kind of marketing team.

The start of my search

At both my current and previous employers, I had always been lucky enough to grow into new and exciting challenges within marketing and trade marketing, but without the digital component that was becoming increasingly dominant.

After earning a few certificates, I wanted to manage the profession and put it into practice with real cases and real clients.

The chance to retrain as a full-fledged digital marketer!

After many interesting conversations with employers who recognized my potential but still felt I lacked the necessary experience in digital marketing, I decided to follow a course offered by a government institution, which included an internship.

This internship would bring me one step closer to gaining practical experience and truly launching myself in this sector. Finding an internship, however, was not easy, since I only had financial support for three weeks.

So, I took the plunge and decided to write to several specialized agencies with the unusual question of whether I could do an internship with them as a senior marketer, preferably for several weeks and if necessary even unpaid.

I was willing to give it my all to retrain as a full-fledged digital marketer. After just two sessions with Hybrid, they convinced me not to do an internship, but to join them immediately as a full-time employee and follow the Hybrid Academy.

I am extremely satisfied!

Hybrid handled this very professionally: they asked me insightful questions, encouraged me to reflect more deeply on my own answers, and offered me new perspectives. It turned out to be an extremely valuable experience with an employer who really listened to me, analyzed alongside me, and carefully advised me.

This gave me a surprisingly quick and clear view of the possible career path ahead of me. And most importantly: they saw my potential and were willing to invest in it as well.

“Today, five years later, I am extremely satisfied! In the meantime, I have grown very close to the Hybrid family :-)”
