Zehra Bengusu Arslan

I am the manager of the language schools department. I am responsible for the training and sales performance of the language schools team. I conduct meetings with international language schools and visit schools in their branches and countries. I negotiate new agreements and direct students to schools. I assist my team in analyzing students' visa profiles and strengthening them. I host school representatives in our branches in our Izmir, Ankara, and Istanbul branches in Turkey. I help my team achieve their monthly and annual sales targets.

I was taking student registrations for the Summer Work and Travel Program in the United States and boosting sales figures. I conducted profile analyses and English interviews with Work and Travel students to measure their English-speaking proficiency. I helped students find the most suitable job and scheduled job interviews for them. I also arranged accommodations for their stay in America. On the portals of Work and Travel agencies in the United States, I created profiles for students. I facilitated the issuance of mandatory work permits for students coming from America and handled their SEVIS registrations. I secured visa appointments for students in the United States and prepared them for the appointments. When visa appointments in the U.S. were fully booked, I arranged visa appointments in other countries (European countries, Qatar, Dubai, Kuwait, etc.) and organized students' trips there. I ensured students purchased their plane tickets and provided guidance on passport control procedures for entry into America.

Once students arrived in the U.S., I ensured that everything went smoothly. In case of any issues in America, I promptly resolved them for the students.

I used to assist students who wanted to apply to foreign language schools by finding the most suitable country, school, and program for them. I would analyze students' profiles to identify ways to strengthen their visa applications. I collaborated with countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, European countries, Malta, South Africa, Dubai, and Australia, establishing connections with schools. I tracked promotions and closed sales for the most suitable option for the company each month, achieving the monthly targets set by my manager.

I provided student consultancy for universities in European countries, including the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and some American countries, for both undergraduate and postgraduate programs. I guided students through exams such as SAT, IELTS, etc., determined suitable schools based on their results, and handled the application process. I also managed visa procedures and organized accommodation and travel arrangements.

I used to ensure the daily monitoring of all our bank accounts. For foreign correspondents, journalists, reporters, etc., affiliated with the Doğan Media Group abroad, I would calculate the necessary budget and instruct the bank to transfer the funds to their accounts. I categorized all incoming invoices by month. I provided assistance for the English web page of "Hürriyet Newspaper."
