Becoming an industrial clerk with a top grade of 1.0
How did you come to work at ZÜBLIN Timber?
Everyone in our region knows ZÜBLIN Timber and the company has a good reputation. However, my path after 10th grade didn't lead me directly here; I first followed another passion and trained as a portrait photographer. I also enjoyed that a lot, but I wanted a job that offered me security and prospects for the future.
How did you experience your training period?
I felt very comfortable and was well integrated into the teams right from the start - no one put the trainee stamp on me. The atmosphere was good and open: respectful interaction is very important to me in an employer! That's how you enjoy going to the office every day. My strengths were seen and used. And even as a photographer, I was able to let off steam from time to time.
It was also great that I was able to get to know so many areas of the company: During my 2.5-year apprenticeship, I changed departments every three months: I was in purchasing, marketing, as well as in the technical office, in controlling as well as in the warehouse, went to construction sites and much more. I saw from my colleagues at the vocational school that this is not such a matter of course and so varied at other companies.
What do you remember most positively?
An important milestone was the final oral examination. The managing director and colleagues from Purchasing and Human Resources took the time to give me feedback on my test presentation. That was a nice sign of support for me and confirmed once again what I had already noticed in previous years: I am receiving the best possible training here on my way to becoming an industrial clerk and I am also valued. The result was impressive: 98 out of 100 points!
