Today we catch up with Anaïs Salaverria
who completed the Chef de Projet Digital professional course at Digital Campus Bordeaux.
Hello, my name is Anaïs Salaverria and I took the Chef de Projet Digital professional course at Digital Campus. Before that, I worked in an entirely different field, in the social policy department of the Caisse de Dépôt, so in a far more legally focused role. I was no longer fulfilled there and had grown rather weary of it.
Absolutely, I felt I had exhausted everything my previous job had to offer and I was ready for a change. I wanted to move towards a more project-management-oriented career. It was a chance encounter that strengthened my desire to retrain. Indeed, I met some friends who told me about the course they were taking at Digital Campus and I was immediately won over. I already had that appetite for exchange and for the people skills that are so typical of the profession. However, I knew I didn't have the right professional grounding to land a role in the sector straight away, so taking this course felt entirely natural as a way to develop and build up my skills.
I followed the full curriculum, which I found excellent. It gave me an extremely solid foundation of skills. I also really appreciated how multidisciplinary the course was. Even though it was a little difficult at the start, since the sector was entirely new to me, I managed to make up for lost ground and earn my certification. I even discovered a passion for marketing, a subject in which I never expected to thrive so much. The course taught me to become highly autonomous, to find solutions on my own and to take my thinking further. I was also pleasantly surprised by the level of investment, involvement and commitment of the teaching staff; I have rarely seen people so motivated.
As I mentioned earlier, I started from scratch at the beginning of the course, and now that I have finished it I feel I still have things to learn and I want to keep improving. That's why I decided to apply for the Mastère Expert Stratégie Digitale at Digital Campus, so that by the end of it I can consolidate and express 100% of my skills in a professional setting.
Of course! First and foremost, I would advise them to be extremely motivated, but above all not to hesitate to share with their classmates, because I personally learned a great deal from my interactions with my peers. Lastly, I would also tell them not to panic, especially at the start, when it feels far too complicated; anything is possible when you're motivated.
