General

Hi, My name is Robbin de Waal, born in 1997 and I am currently studying marketing on the ROC Mondriaan in the Hague. My near future plan is studying on higher vocational education preferably International buisness and management studies.

But one thing is for sure, I want work as a marketeer. Since my primary school I have been fascinated by marketing, advertisement and commercials. After high school, I started chasing my interest in marketing by choosing the required courses to study marketing.

I am a motivated, pro-active and creative individual that is only satisfied with the best results.

Education

Intermediate Vocational Education

After graduating from my high school with a LGSE certificate, I had to search a fitting school where I would study marketing.

In the 3th year of my LGSE I had already visited several schools but one stood out the most. It was a school in The Hague.

What convinced me to travel all the way to the Hague where the extremely friendly and professional teachers.

With a LGSE certificate I was qualified to follow my education I had to wait for, for a long time: Marketing!

I am currently in my final year and planning on graduation in June 2016.

Experience

 

Internships

Thanks to the choice I made by not studying day and night I got the opportunity to participate in a variety of internships.

I-calling

I had already developed an interest for building and designing websites at this point so I searched a company who could teach me more about the internet, online marketing, websites and telemarketing. This was my first internship and I went to a company called I-calling. I-calling was the “mother company” and had two completely different companies as well. The first company was called Navsail. Navsail was a company based on the interest of the owner of I-calling, sailing. And then there was Mindculture. Mindculture was not as big when I started my Internship as it is today, but Mindculture was a company based on giving workshops the boost the creative minds of those who followed the workshop.

My occupation in I-calling was mainly the maintenance of the three websites and telemarketing for the customers of I-calling.

Skatestore 

My second Internship was in the HQ of one of the biggest skateboard outlets in The Netherlands. I had a great time at Skatestore. My main occupation was copywriting blog posts and posts for social media for Skatestore. This gave me a huge boost in my writing skills and I am still developing them as of today.

VaigoMedia

Because it is my final year I got the opportunity to develop my skills at VaigoMedia. VaigoMedia is an online marketing company that specialize in SEO (Search Engine Optimisation). My main occupation was developing a customer dashboard and helping out with sales (mainly telemarketing).

 

Interest

 

Hobbies

I have a variety of hobbies that keeps me busy and helps me clear my mind when I am home.
Videogames

Ever since I could remember I have been playing videogames. I still play videogames in the weekends with friends but the last year my interest in Videogames declined and I am more focused at other hobbies at the moment.

Website developing

I started making websites on Webnode when I was just 13 years old. Webnode was an easy way to make websites but after my internship at Navsail and I realized the potential of WordPress and made the switch. I am currently the webmaster of kunstaastest. Kunstaastest is a website based around reviews on fishing lures (mainly for pike).

 

Fitness 

I started going to the gym when I was 17 years old. I try to go to the gym twice a week but my goal is four times a week.
