20 00:04:45.330 ⇒ 00:05:02.160 Mariane Cequina: Oh, yeah. So here in notion. So basically, we use by the way, we use linear for task management. And then for documentation, we primarily use notion for that. So if you need like documentation here, but I don’t think you might use notion that much.
21 00:05:02.450 ⇒ 00:05:05.450 Mariane Cequina: because you’re you’re actually the 1st person we
22 00:05:05.750 ⇒ 00:05:08.260 Mariane Cequina: we hired as a video editor.
23 00:05:08.560 ⇒ 00:05:09.630 Raymund Verzosa: Oh, okay. Okay.
24 00:05:09.630 ⇒ 00:05:16.880 Mariane Cequina: For the company. Yeah, maybe you you might be like using the marketing, though.
25 00:05:17.140 ⇒ 00:05:26.819 Mariane Cequina: like here or in in sales. Yeah, marketing. Primarily, I think marketing because you’re under marketing. But anyways, here in team directory, here’s the
26 00:05:27.340 ⇒ 00:05:51.460 Mariane Cequina: executive. We have autumn, Robert, and then for the data architect we have, Michael, and then for the project manager we have 2, so as of now, only amber is the full time Project manager, and we also have Akash, and then for operation. It will be me and Nicole. So, Nico, right now, it’s not that active anymore. So usually it was me that you will have like direct
27 00:05:51.500 ⇒ 00:06:09.142 Mariane Cequina: contact with. And then we also have Robert as a recruiter. And then for the data team we have Ryan awaish, Kyle. Demi laid Payas Sahana and Annie, and then for the AI we only have 3, which is Miguel Cassie Mustafa. And for design we have an
28 00:06:10.030 ⇒ 00:06:36.230 Mariane Cequina: Abdel Abdel Halim is actually it’s more like a web developer rather than the designer. But yeah, it’s under design team. And then for Hannah Wong he was the marketing head, and then for the content. We only have one, which is Ryan. So I know that you you came from the Philippines, so actually from the Philippines as well. Ryan. This one, like Ryan and then Ann
29 00:06:36.770 ⇒ 00:06:42.470 Mariane Cequina: are actually from the Philippines as well, and also Ryan. By the way, so yeah, it. But it was just like
30 00:06:42.590 ⇒ 00:06:52.080 Mariane Cequina: Mimi, Galakati and Ryan. I think I’m not sure about Ryan Ross, but I think we are the one from Luzon, so I don’t know what which part of the Philippines. Are you? Are you from.
31 00:06:52.605 ⇒ 00:06:53.130 Raymund Verzosa: Zone.
32 00:06:53.130 ⇒ 00:06:54.640 Mariane Cequina: Yeah. Npr, okay. Great.

36 00:07:09.420 ⇒ 00:07:39.010 Mariane Cequina: Okay, so first, st after that, for your role and expectation. Again, you’re the 1st person that we hired for video editing. So I think you you will work primarily with Ryan Ross, because last time we he was the one who is assigned to do contents, and then and then, as far as I know, he also tried editing some some stuff, but I think this they try to level up and hired someone who is more
37 00:07:39.630 ⇒ 00:07:47.580 Mariane Cequina: who really have, I’d say, like expertise in video editing. So that’s why you’re actually here. So we can
38 00:07:48.590 ⇒ 00:07:50.190 Mariane Cequina: improve your.
39 00:07:50.550 ⇒ 00:07:52.610 Mariane Cequina: And then I’m brain forge online.
40 00:07:53.790 ⇒ 00:07:54.590 Mariane Cequina: So
41 00:07:55.190 ⇒ 00:08:03.950 Mariane Cequina: for your tools. I’m not quite sure about the tools that you’ll be using. But I assume it’s more like the video editing tools. Of course.
42 00:08:04.610 ⇒ 00:08:07.159 Raymund Verzosa: Yep, we’re on adobe.
43 00:08:07.460 ⇒ 00:08:12.850 Mariane Cequina: Oh, okay, but you don’t. You don’t need access to to Figma, John. I like figma.

48 00:08:30.686 ⇒ 00:08:31.423 Mariane Cequina: So
49 00:08:32.780 ⇒ 00:08:44.310 Mariane Cequina: for for us, for the operations and content we’re actually paid by weekly. But for some reason Autum said that engineering and as well as you will be paid once a month. So

52 00:08:58.190 ⇒ 00:08:59.060 Mariane Cequina: Okay?
53 00:08:59.470 ⇒ 00:09:27.779 Mariane Cequina: And then I’m gonna show you. So we actually again, we use we use linear. So can you see my screen right now. So we also use clock if I for time tracker. But in here we don’t screenshot. So here you can have like that time sheet. But usually I just use a time tracker here. Can you see it on the left side, and then you have the option to have a timer mode or manual mode, so just ensure that you are that you’re keeping your clock if I updated
54 00:09:27.880 ⇒ 00:09:29.809 Mariane Cequina: before the week ends.
55 00:09:30.500 ⇒ 00:09:45.930 Mariane Cequina: And then, yeah, so it’s under that timer and then manual, and then I think I haven’t add you here. But I’m gonna add you later. So you’ll be, I think, under brainforge internal. So have you used, classify before or no.

77 00:11:25.160 ⇒ 00:11:30.450 Mariane Cequina: And I did not know. Like, for example, here in slack, can you?
78 00:11:31.818 ⇒ 00:11:45.200 Mariane Cequina: Can you send me the your photo? I have to put it here. So we add the photos there, the head shots.
79 00:11:45.200 ⇒ 00:11:46.160 Raymund Verzosa: Oh, okay.
80 00:11:46.520 ⇒ 00:11:51.599 Mariane Cequina: And then what else? For? So we use clockify for time tracking.
81 00:11:52.690 ⇒ 00:11:59.090 Mariane Cequina: And then we actually, this is not your business number. Now, can you see my screen, the operating.
82 00:11:59.090 ⇒ 00:11:59.790 Raymund Verzosa: Yes, yes.
83 00:11:59.790 ⇒ 00:12:04.139 Mariane Cequina: So basically, we also use operating by the way, for for tracking
84 00:12:04.638 ⇒ 00:12:32.089 Mariane Cequina: time. So, for example, we have some sort of project. And then, for example, 40 h. So yeah, so they’re gonna give you project. Now, you have to finish within 40 h in a week. Is this, for example, but basically, this operating is a project manager. And then for for task management management again, we use linear. So I also added you there
85 00:12:32.090 ⇒ 00:12:37.200 Mariane Cequina: and then, I think on boarding, or are you already in the marketing.
86 00:12:38.616 ⇒ 00:12:39.969 Raymund Verzosa: Onboarding Palom.
87 00:12:40.140 ⇒ 00:12:59.780 Mariane Cequina: Hannah. So it’s feeling you’re gonna work primarily with Hannah and Ryan. Because I say, Hannah, your marketing head. And then Ryan Rossas is the content writer. So feeling. Co, you are the you, you’ll work with them primarily. So I’m gonna give them some sort of heads up.
88 00:13:00.110 ⇒ 00:13:02.320 Mariane Cequina: And then what else.
89 00:13:02.470 ⇒ 00:13:11.090 Mariane Cequina: Yeah, I think that’s it. We use linear test notion for for documentation. So
90 00:13:11.260 ⇒ 00:13:16.029 Mariane Cequina: that’s usually, I’m gonna show you
91 00:13:16.320 ⇒ 00:13:25.189 Mariane Cequina: here. So for your expectation, they use this heavily in marketing team for management, like, for example, here in promotions.
92 00:13:26.130 ⇒ 00:13:32.720 Mariane Cequina: Yeah. So as you can see, Marion schedule work, schedule, promotion, promotion, promo request form. Gonna
93 00:13:32.870 ⇒ 00:13:38.490 Mariane Cequina: so they use this primarily for tracking. So maybe maybe
94 00:13:38.870 ⇒ 00:13:44.529 Mariane Cequina: you will use this. Then Palaga young notion for tracking.
95 00:13:45.140 ⇒ 00:13:52.829 Mariane Cequina: So I’m gonna give Hannah, some heads up, and then I think you’re you’ll have

109 00:14:56.990 ⇒ 00:15:04.370 Raymund Verzosa: It’s a clock. If I in project now is a select is, you know, brain forging Internet.
110 00:15:04.370 ⇒ 00:15:18.480 Mariane Cequina: Internal. Yeah, yeah. But I’m gonna clarify that with autumn. But yeah, I think it’s brain forge internal, because I, your work mode is more on, and a video editing for the brain forge itself right?
111 00:15:18.730 ⇒ 00:15:38.241 Mariane Cequina: Like, you will not write no man. This is consulting firm. So we have different clients then. So. But I think I think your primary primarily goal is to edit some videos for posting in behalf of Brain Forge. Yeah. So I think he’s he just like back off.
