4 questions for Laura and Stefan
„Hello Laura, hello Stefan, what brought you to KTK?“
Laura
„It was actually through Instagram that I found KTK! I’d already tried via Xing and LinkedIn, but I couldn’t find the right job for me. And then an ad from KTK popped up in my feed and really caught my attention. After that, everything happened really fast!“
Stefan
„I registered with the job centre, because after my training I was looking for something a bit different. KTK found me on the job centre website and got in touch – I thought that was great, I’d seen KTK from the car window. Then we had the interview, and I was really impressed. Everything was new, a leap into the unknown. It was a lot at first, but then everything went smoothly!“
„What exactly does your job entail?“
Laura
„I’m a real all-rounder, manage the e-mail inboxes and allocate tasks to colleagues, deal with product conformity and stand in for Raphael in internal sales when he’s out of the office. At the moment, I’m rewriting our product catalogue – together with Raphael and a graphic designer. Sometimes, I even solve IT problems and maintain the website.“
Stefan
„I’m in internal sales. That involves supporting major customers, and drawing up quotes and orders. Two-and-a-half years ago, I also took over management of purchasing. I sound out the market, negotiate prices and procure the materials. I work closely with Raphael and the sales team and am often out and about in a material consulting capacity.“
„What’s been your best experience in the job?“
Laura
„The husband of one of my colleagues sometimes bakes these biscuits called “Vanillekipferl” which I really like. One time, I was sick and another colleague kept a few back for me, because he knew how much I loved them – I thought that was really kind. And another thing: Even outside of work, we also support each other!“
Stefan
„I feel at home at KTK – it feels like a family, we work really well together and can always rely on each other. And I’m also very glad to have been given the opportunity here to take on more responsibility.“
„What do you look forward to every day at work?“
Laura
„I know that there’ll always be something to make me laugh every day, and then it’s so much easier to get out of bed. Also, I look forward to helping my colleagues in whatever way I can!“
Stefan
„I look forward to my colleagues every day, because for me, they are true friends.“
