10 questions to Can Senturk

He is studying commercial economics majoring in digital marketing at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam, and in addition, he is also an honors student (this means he takes a bonus curriculum for bonus credits) ...

We're talking about none other than Can! Can is joining our team on August 1 as an online marketer intern. He will mainly be learning and exploring a lot, but of course he will also have to work very hard. Get to know our new recruit by asking 10 questions we asked him.

Question 1: Who is Can?

I am 21 years old, born in Ede, but I live in Veenendaal. I am a social person and I also like to meet new people. Learning new things is something I enjoy and is also essential in life, as far as I am concerned. I love my cat Mila very much. Furthermore, I am always up for going to a festival.

Question 2: What are your hobbies?

I love sports, especially soccer. I have been doing it with love for over 13 years. I am a diehard Real Madrid supporter, but I also enjoy watching other leagues and clubs. Recently I also started working out again. I also enjoy watching other sports such as MMA and eSports.

Furthermore, I enjoy designing, which is how I can express myself creatively.

Question 3: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Very honestly, I don't really have an idea yet where I see myself in 5 years. I do know that I want to finish my HBO within two years and that I probably want to continue studying after my HBO. So in the field of marketing, it is precisely during my internship period that I hope to find out where I see myself in 5 years in the field!

Question 4: What do you like to do on weekends?

On weekends I like to be with friends or family. Pre-Corona, I could be found at a party every week. But now there aren't as many of them, so I can often be found at someone's house.

Question 5: What is your favorite social media channel?

This is a tough question. Too many choices. But I think I would go for YouTube anyway. I don't post videos myself, but I watch several videos every day. Every night when I go to bed I have to watch YouTube videos first because otherwise I don't fall asleep.

Question 6: What is your favorite music?

Rap, pop and R&B. But I like almost everything. My top 3 artists are Post Malone, Juice WRLD and Drake. I've also been to a concert by Post Malone and twice by Drake. I will never forget that.

Question 7: What is your favorite travel destination?

I love going to Turkey. In Turkey you actually have everything: sun, sea, beach, history, landscape, people, good food and so on. You can even ski in Turkey. But there are still plenty of countries in the world I haven't been to yet and still want to see, so maybe in a few years I will have a new favorite travel destination.

Question 8: How did you like your first week at OMA?

My first week at OMA was very good. Really very good. I still have to get used to getting up early every day, but I'll get used to it.

On my first day I was immediately surprised with a nice OMA starter kit. OMA socks, OMA water bottle and OMA notebook. The laptop was also ready and I was immediately helped by Emiel. He took on the task of guiding me.

But Emiel is not the only one who is helpful. Everyone at OMA is very helpful. I was called in here and there to take a look at a screen, questions were answered immediately and I was involved in everything as if I had been working at OMA for months. I am not treated as an intern, but as a colleague. There is also just a really nice atmosphere at the office.

Three words that sum up the first week: fun, educational & chill.

Question 9: What will be your role within OMA?

I am an online marketing intern for the next six months, so I will be learning and exploring a lot in the coming period. I am most interested in SEO, SEA and social media marketing. So this is where I want to develop myself and then find out if I actually like it.

Question 10: What are your specializations within OMA?

I am a specialist intern. In other words, as mentioned before, I am going to learn and discover a lot. Do a little bit of everything and find out what I'm really good at, and then work on it myself. In addition, I will also help everyone when they need it.

A brief recap

The first week has flown by. Time goes fast when you're having fun, right? I definitely had fun this week, learned many things, met new people and so all in all it was just a fun week. If every week goes as fast as this first week, my internship will be over before I know it. I actually couldn't have asked for a better start if I'm completely honest. And a good start is half the battle, right?
