The Introduce Yourself Thread

[AntS]

Figured we should have a thread like this.

Hi all! I'm AntS. 

I've worked for Samsung since 2014: starting on t'phone in the frontline Mobile/Tablets Tech Support team, moving on to the Online Shop Support team, then to the Social Media team, where I spent most of my time...  and which is how I ended up here.

My hobbies include reading (I might be a bit of a bibliophile), writing, drawing/design, the odd bit of rambling with my Dad, and despairing at the state of modern football (apart from at Lionel Messi - whom I might have a little mancrush on...)

I'm a Fantasy, sci-fi, comic book, and Saturday-morning cartoon geek. Love stuff like Lord of The Rings, Game of Thrones, Star Wars, Blade Runner, Doctor Who, Star Trek, Supernatural, Babylon 5. Big fan of Transformers - the original '80s Generation 1 stuff rather than Bayformers.

Hi! My name is Anna. I am from Latvia. I am a huge fan of Samsung. Few years back I worked for a mobile operator, I was selling devices. And I remember the amazing lessons Samsung Latvia were throwing for people who were selling their devices. Honestly compared to other brands (not gonna name them, but I will say that they were bribing us with visits to pool, saunas or taking us to special movie screenings before their official release) Samsung's lessons were the most memorable. Not only did they tell us about theyr soon to launch devices under an NDA, but the first half of the day was them teaching about what people look for in a phone in general. So information that can help sell a phone to a person even if they opt for a different brand. For example when Note 10 was coming out, they taught us about generations and how for example Baby Boomer wishes from a phone differ from what a millennial wants. All this made me see how Samsung really cares about giving sellers information rather than offering them a day of fun to entice them to even come to the event. To summarize - #Samsung4Life
