Hello Egderyders, Nadia and all of you, My name is Jasmine Elnadeem. I am very interested in job opportunity, and think that with my skills I could be an asset to your mission.
I would like to stress that I am a very diligent person who takes work seriously, and have international experience. Having covered different topics in my ninteen-year career in media and journalism has moulded me in being versatile, a fast learner and a very good listener.
I have worked at the leading newspaper in Egypt, Al Ahram Daily since 2005, and my experience goes beyond working in Al Ahram. This passion that I have for journalism has greatly enriched me, especially in news reporting and editing, it also gave me the opportunity to travel to other countries like Lebanon, Syria, Kazakhstan, Malta, Italy, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Thailand and France. In some of these countries I have established strong contacts with the local media.
As a journalist I am used to gathering information and efficiently and succinctly packaging it in various formats. Gathering background information and documentation, putting together briefing and presentation materials are second nature to me. I have also learned to effectively manage and file this information and have a deep and committed understanding of the need for confidentiality and the protection of sources and source material.
“Journalism is more than a profession for me; it is part of my life”
I also worked as Web Manager and Social Media Strategist for Sweden’s official website in Arabic http://ar.sweden.se at the Swedish Institute I performed in principal all the key functions noted under points one through four.
As the only member of the project team based in Egypt I have had responsibility for all contacts and follow-ups with local vendors, both financial and practical. I prepared the budget, developed the contacts database, calendar and events schedule and organised the workshops both in Egypt and regionally. I have also given lectures at these events. I have developed and written the communication channels for the project in both Arabic and English and have given regular statistical, strategic and tactical reports on a monthly basis.
Lately I worked as Web Manager and Social Media Strategist for OneWorld Uk’s awareness raising project on sexual and reproductive health in Egypt - http://ma3looma.net.
I worked as a social media consultant for the European Training Foundation (ETF), an agency of the European Union. I Developed a social media campaign to present a model to show how policymakers and ETF experts can use social media to draw conclusions from, share knowledge around and learn from each other about how evidence can improve policymaking.
The social media campaign I designed for the (ETF), won the international IABC’s Gold Quill Merit Award and EMErald Award 2011. This was the first time an EU body received such a prestigious award.
I have experience with various aspects of social media, including: online video platforms, blogging platforms, viral marketing, Twitter & microblogging, and Social networking (esp. Facebook, LinkedIn). I have a deep practical and theoretical knowledge of customizing brand monitoring strategies. Enjoys working in dynamic environments. Strong interpersonal skills and works well with others. Good communicator and excellent writer. Curious, inquisitive, hard working, and loves challenges.
The added value I bring with me is that I have a tempered experience, in English and Arabic, to ensure visibility, media coverage and leverage on print media, social media, websites and contribute to your mission as requested. I would welcome the chance to provide you with additional information, so please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely, Jasmine Elnadeem
