<aside> 👋 Hello dear Aaron!
Below are four tasks designed for your trial day. These tasks closely reflect real scenarios you would encounter as a partner manager at Easy Languages and are intended to provide insight into the day-to-day responsibilities of the role.
Please approach the tasks to the best of your ability, keeping in mind the time limitations. While some topics may be complex and we don’t expect immediate answers, we’re interested in understanding how you would tackle these challenges. Feel free to describe your problem-solving approach.
You can document your results either in your own file or directly here in Notion. Each task includes a time estimate for guidance, but this is only meant to serve as a rough reference.
If you have any questions or encounter any problems, feel free to call Cari via WhatsApp (+49 171 6859862).

You are asked to review a video from the Easy Russian team, but your time is limited. To make the most of it, you decide to focus on the teams current key challenge: improving membership conversion rates. The Easy Russian team operates as a franchise, managing their own business while producing free videos and podcast episodes for Russian learners. Their primary source of income is a Patreon membership campaign, which offers paying members benefits such as vocabulary lists, exercises, access to Russian conversation classes, and more. They typically promote their membership during the midroll segment of their videos.
Step 1: Watch the intro, midroll (8:18-8:54) and the outro of the video:
Step 2: Write down 2-3 actionable steps that you would recommend the team to improve the way they advertise their membership in their next video.
Step 3: Draft a slack message to Nikita, the host and editor of the video in which you share your recommendations with him.
Two freelancers working on one of our in-house productions, within a team you manage, have reported a conflict. Each claims the other is the source of the issue, and their collaboration has become unproductive. From an outside perspective, it’s difficult to determine what went wrong, and you are in another country, making an in-person meeting difficult.
How would you handle this situation? Write a short outline with the steps you would take to address the conflict and explain the outcomes you hope to achieve with each step.
At 8 pm (Berlin time), please send your results to [email protected]
Once you are done, join us for a call via this zoom link 🙂
