Senior Community Manager
I lead a team that supports creators in finding their audience.
I wake up in the morning in my apartment in Berlin. I roll over to pick up my phone and scroll through the emails that came in overnight; I work for a global company, so part of my team works nine time zones away. Once I've taken care of any urgent matters, I travel to the office by tram. For the rest of the day, I alternate between writing emails and participating in meetings. Every few weeks, I stand in front of my colleagues and share the work we're doing for creators.
Here's the first step for high school students
High school is the perfect time to explore interests that could become lifelong loves. I can't count the number of job interviews where I've cited my 6-hour-a-day high school AOL Instant Messenger habit as proof of my long-held love of technology and the internet. When you interview at an exciting company one day, they'll be looking for what makes your eyes light up. Try lots of things and go deep on the ones that spark something in you.
