Meet the be2 Team: Fiona
be2 blog readers know what online editor Fiona writes about: love, relationships and online matchmaking. Fiona has been part of the be2 team for over 3 years – initially as copywriter, until she helped launch the be2 blog. As you can see, she’s always writing, even on holidays! Today she’s writing about herself for a change
.
1. Ho do you help be2 members find the love of their life?
I help be2 members get the most out of their online matchmaking membership by sharing news, advice and dating tips. To round it off, I occasionally post funny, weird, fascinating and quirky dating news.
2. What do friends ask about your job for an online matchmaking site?
Do I get to “match” couples? Of course I don’t – the matchmaking software does a much better job of that (although my grandmother actually was a real-life matchmaker – no kidding!).
3. What’s the most important aspect of online matchmaking?
Fun! You should take the search for the love of your life seriously, but don’t take the fun out of it.
4. Which be2 country do you have a personal connection with?
Ireland – I studied and worked in Dublin for a year and have family there. Weather aside, it’s one of the most beautiful countries I know.
5. “Love is…”
…a question best answered by our love quote of the week
Spirit of Love – Quote
I am not entirely sure that this love quote is true, but I would like it to be true:
“You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have really lived, are the moments when you have done things in a spirit of love.”
- Henry Drummond
Super Mario Scores!
If you loved playing Super Mario Bros. as a kid, these videos might take the innocence out of some fond childhood memories. Here, Mario doesn’t just save the princess – he is rewarded for his troubles.
This video by Family Guy-creator Seth Macfarlane isn’t exactly PG-rated either: less Sex (Mario doesn’t even get a kiss), but more violence. Read more
Love Quotation – You Do the Math
I was always terrible at math, but this is one calculation I can follow:
“In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing.”
- Mignon McLaughlin
Meet the be2 Team: Martina
Most of you know how online matchmaking works with be. But you don’t know who makes be2′s online matchmaking happen. In future you will find out here who contributes to the programming, design, customer service, and all the other aspects of the be2 service. Due to popular demand, we will regularly introduce members of the be2 team, who ensure that the online matchmaking experience goes smoothly and that be2 members find the love of their life. But first of all let me introduce the person who will be introducing the be2 team.
My job as Human Resources Manager is to find employees who are a perfect match for be2. I will be asking them to fill in the following questionnaire for the blog, but today, I’ll answer my own questions:
1. How do you help be2 members find the love of their life?
I find the best employees, who will continually improve the quality of our product.
2. What do your friends ask about your job at an online matchmaking agency?
Whether I could pick out the best profiles and introduce them before they „go live“
3. Which aspect of online matchmaking is particularly important to you?
Honesty and respectability. Everyone on the site should have the same goal: to find a partner for life..
4. Which be2 country do you feel particularly connected to?
New Zealand; I spent the most exciting year of my life (so far) there.
5. “Love is…”
…being friends as well as lovers.
