Talent Acquisition Specialist

After friends and acquaintances had enthusiastically recommended Webasto, I started my apprenticeship as an industrial clerk here. I was able to gain wide-ranging experience as an assistant in R&D, in Purchasing and at our junior company, YoungDrive. Following that, I held various positions as an assistant, including at Executive Board level. Once I completed my part-time studies in Business Administration & Business Psychology, I switched to the HR department at Webasto and have been working as a Talent Acquisition Specialist/Recruiter ever since. My work here involves intensive contact with people, which makes every day different. Internal coordination between the different departments at Webasto and HR also plays a major role in attracting the right candidates as employees. This is because the "war for talents" will continue to play a major role in the coming years. Currently, I am also working on the production of video tutorials for the internal HR job application tool.

Even though Webasto is a very large company, the atmosphere is familiar and my colleagues—and also the manner in which we collaborate—are appreciative and friendly. My advice to my younger self would be not to attend university immediately after graduating from school, but to embark on an apprenticeship, make a special effort to learn English at school, and do what you're passionate about and enjoy. After all, I still want to be happy in my job years down the line.

Project Manager

More

I started at Webasto as a working student and after my studies I started as a trainee in the project management department. As a trainee, I was able to get to know various parts of the company in and around the project management area. I deliberately chose the position as a trainee in order to get to know as many employees as possible and to strengthen my network within Webasto. The expansion of my network was not limited to the Stockdorf site; I was also able to get to know many colleagues in China and America. What I particularly liked about the trainee program was that I was able to decide in which areas I wanted to get to know. My final follow-up position was also not defined, but I was free to apply for internal positions. That's how I ended up in the new Webasto Battery division, where I'm actively helping to drive forward projects in the battery sector.

Encourage and challenge is Webasto's motto.

Webasto is like a home to me. Thanks to the positive working atmosphere, the motivated colleagues and an employer with a heart, I can work there with pure joy on my projects.
