In our latest english lesson we talked about the Business-Week which every pupil of the 4th school form had to pass in many different local companies. We used the opportunity of working in a company to collect some professional experience.
I worked at the ENGEL AUSTRIA GmbH, which is a leading manufactuerer of injection molding machines. I worked at the operativ purchasing department and did a lot of desk work.
From Monday to Friday I arrived at 7:30 a.m. and finished working at 15:30 p.m. There were two breaks, the first one lasted from 9:00 until 9:10 a.m. and the second one started at 12:00 and ended at 12:30. During the lunchbreak my collegues and I went to the canteen to get a tasty meal and to reload our energy.
On the first day I was introduced to all of the purchasing staff and I also got to know my contact person who showed me her daily workflows. Her name is Kerstin R. and she is a very friendly, helpful, young woman. Kerstin has been working for the company for three years now and she enabled me a comprehensive view of the whole department.
She got a lot of different tasks for me, which made my experience pretty exciting. I ordered material from suppliers as well as I registered acknowledgements of orders in SAP. I also did traveling applications for the different team leaders. But excepting the desk work, Kerstin also managed for me to attend a supplier visit and a team meeting, which was something I've never been to before and it enabled me a deeper view in the working life.
I am glad I had the chance to work there for my Business-Week. The whole staff was candid and incorporated me in their team, which facilitated me to enjoy the week as well as having a lot of fun.
Regards,
Katja :)
