Hey there,
My name is Marian Cez Sacop, you can call me Marian or Mars.
Don't hesitate to reach out to me via: Email | Facebook
I grew up in Lumban, Laguna, where the finest barongs and filipinianas in the Philippines are hand-embroidered. In 2012, I moved to Manila to study in the University of Santo Tomas (graduated in 2016, with a Bachelor of Arts Major in Communication).
I lived in Spain for two years to work as a language assistant and culture ambassador in a public school in Southern Spain. So I can speak and understand conversational Español 💃🏻 :)
May of 2018, I decided to go back to the Philippines and I started my journey as a remote worker.
After the pandemic, I decided to move back to Laguna, where the greens are greener and the air is fresher ;)
I taught English in a public school in Córdoba, Spain.
I was a recipient of a grant from the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports which allowed me to work and live in Spain as a language assistant and culture ambassador. Apart from the time I've spent in the classroom, I organized different activities that promote cultural diversity awareness in the school.
I worked for an awesome company called Jumpcut since September 2018 as their Recruiting Operations Lead.
I'm was responsible for distributing our job ads, monitoring their performance and providing logistical support to the people in my department. I have experience in sourcing, resume review, and interviewing.
Before pioneering the Recruiting Department of the company, I was an HR & People Generalist. I was the one responsible for monitor everyone's timesheets and screenshots, making sure that functionality is being maximized. One key factor for this job was to foster a positive work environment and proactively ensured staff satisfaction and productivity by conducting regular pulse checks and employee satisfaction surveys.
I'm an executive assistant working with High Level Executive clients. I make sure that everything is in order in their lives so that they can work seamlessly. I do admin work and provide other operational support for my clients and their businesses.
Work-life balance is very important to me and I know that that's the case with my clients as well -- this is why I work hard to provide the best service I can to them. With my assistance, my clients will not have to worry doing the small stuff: sorting emails, scheduling calls and other admin work -- I do all these for them.
As one of Athena's very first EAs, I was handpicked by my Operations Manager to become a Playbook Pro.
A Playbook pro is an experienced EA at Athena and has mastered a number of EA Task Playbooks. We also do peer-to-peer coaching and mentoring to foster team camaraderie and promote bond among remote workers.
My favorite part as a playbook pro was when I would facilitate Performance Bootcamps where I would train and coach the new EAs and some other EAs who are waiting to be rematched with a client. As a Playbook Pro, I would act as a client and give sample tasks to the EA/Trainee for training purposes. We would then go on a feedback call and go over how they handled the tasks. At the end of the bootcamp, I would evaluate their performance and recommend whether they are ready to be matched or rematched.
