You are currently involved in a dual program of studies. What motivated you to select this course of study?
I’ve been at the company for a total of seven years. After completing my vocational training at Media Markt, I went back to school and got my university entrance qualification. Since I enjoy working in the retail trade so much, I wanted to continue to develop my career in that sector. The International Commercial Management degree course that the University of Applied Sciences in Ingolstadt had just launched at the time was perfect because it combines theory and practice in a unique way.
Have you already had the opportunity to manage a project?
Every student is given the opportunity to contribute independently to a large number of projects. My most interesting project was managing the inventory of white goods at Media Markt. That was a huge challenge!
What were the first day or two at the company like?
I was completely involved in the work flow, from my first day in the company. And that was something that I particularly liked. That is how you learn the most. Your colleagues give you the support you need, and they are all really helpful.
What are your career goals?
That is a difficult question since I am still in the process of launching my career. But I do want to achieve something and, in a few years time, take over a position of responsibility at Media-Saturn-Holding.
What kind of support are you getting?
The management of Media Markt Regensburg, where I currently work, trusts in me and my work morals. But along the way, you will receive every type of support imaginable from both your colleagues and your superiors. It’s up to you to make it happen.
What technical device drives you crazy?
No particular device drives me crazy, but I can do without a coffee-maker. I like to pour the boiling water over the ground coffee myself. It somehow tastes better.
Which of our advertising campaigns, either for Media Markt or Saturn, did you like best so far?
I think the Media Markt’s current advertising campaign with Olli Dittrich is very funny.
