Apprenticeship

I was received nicely by colleagues from the very beginning and treated like a fully-fledged colleague. I was given the opportunity to explore our headquarters in Weisendorf for two weeks, as well as to get to know a trade fair behind the scenes, for which I already traveled to Munich with other colleagues at the beginning of my apprenticeship.

In the further course, I got to know the warehouse, product management and purchasing departments. So it quickly became clear to me how our company is structured and how the processes of the individual departments are interrelated.

In the summer, I found out that I was a trainee.

In the summer of 2019, an apprentice EBENT took place for the first time, whereby we all met for three days at our headquarters in Weisendorf and spent this time with the other apprentices and joint activities.

I then spent my last year of training in sales, doing my best to support my colleagues, who, incidentally, always had a funny line in store. On January 22, 2021, I completed my training with a grade point average of 1.1 on my final certificate.

All in all, I can say that I am very happy to have taken my first steps in professional life at Neumüller Elektronik GmbH. I am very grateful to have been surrounded by dear colleagues and to have been part of a cool trainee group.

Now I am looking forward to the new challenge that lies ahead of me. Since the commercial content of the past three years appealed to me very much, I decided to deepen my knowledge of it and have since taken up a business administration degree.

After my first year, I can say that everyone is welcome in this company and you are very warmly received by everyone. The team cohesion between all employees is particularly fascinating. In addition to numerous activities such as spinning, triathlon, vital run or just being together, the cohesion and team spirit is constantly strengthened.

Every now and then, the trainees are also allowed to plan events and collaborate on small projects, such as designing the Christmas party. In doing so, we can contribute our own ideas and suggestions and also always voice our opinion on how we would approach certain things.

In my training, I have already visited the Sales/Customer Service department. There, the incoming orders of the customers are booked, as well as quotations are written and helped with questions. You get to know everything about customers and their wishes. Here, there is a constant exchange between the customer and the department, so you shouldn't be afraid to pick up the phone.

Currently, I work in the purchasing department, where you are taught the background of incoming orders from customers. Here you learn how it comes from the offer to the order and the delivery. Important here is the exchange between the suppliers and the buyers regarding the outstanding deliveries, delivery times and prices. In addition to the billing, orders and goods receipt posting, one learns the article creation, which is also very important. This involves adding new items to our system and delivery program.

In summary, it can be said that everyone gets different insights into the individual areas of a company during the training at Neumüller Elektronik and learns a lot. Above all, if you have questions or if something is on your mind, you can always approach each other, as there is always someone here with an open ear for us
