Introduction

My journey from the vibrant landscapes of Thailand to the picturesque town of Geel in the Flemish Region of Belgium has been both challenging and exhilarating. Armed with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration from Khon Kaen University, my career path has been a mosaic of diverse roles – from serving as a waitress on a Thai cruise to embracing the marketing world as an account executive. Whether it felt like an odd job or a strategic career move, each step enriched my understanding of the global marketplace and ignited my passion for marketing.

Enrollment Decision and Career Goals

The transition to a new country, especially one with a different primary language, posed unique challenges, particularly in the professional realm. My desire to carve out a space for myself in the Belgian job market led me to seek certification in Digital Marketing. I chose the Professional Certificate Program in Digital Marketing from Purdue University, offered through Simplilearn, as a strategic step to enhance my skill set, bridge any gaps in my understanding, and prepare myself for future roles in this dynamic field.

My Experience with Simplilearn

Simplilearn’s program was a beacon of light during this transition. The faculty’s deep knowledge of the subject matter, combined with the engaging video content and the flexibility of self-learning, allowed me to balance both work and studies seamlessly. The live classes, led by professionals in the sector, were particularly enriching, offering practical insights and real-world applications of digital marketing strategies. The support team was always just a message away, ready to assist with quick responses and valuable guidance.

Certification Provided a Career Boost

The completion of this course marked a significant milestone in my professional journey, leading to a new opportunity as a Marketing Assistant with Doosan Industrial Vehicle EMEA. This position not only came with a 10% salary hike—a notable achievement given the language barriers and the competitive job market in Belgium—but also positioned me for greater career advancements in the future.

Conclusion

Reflecting on my journey, the decision to upskill with Simplilearn’s Digital Marketing program has been pivotal. It was not just about acquiring a new set of skills; it was about adapting to a new cultural and professional landscape, gaining confidence in my abilities, and opening doors to opportunities that were once out of reach. As I look ahead, I am excited about the prospects of furthering my career in digital marketing, equipped with the knowledge, skills, and experience gained from this enriching learning journey.
