Hej,
I have studied Business Administration at the University Lucerne and the University of Berne. Beside my studies, I did several part-time jobs and also worked in the Marketing-Controlling. In all those years, I gained lots of analytical and organizational skills. I also realised that I needed a job where I would be able to work together with different people. Motivation and support in people’s development is the key issue for me to make a job interesting, varied and challenging. The IKEA Trainee Program caught my interest from the moment I heard about it as it gives young people the chance to take on responsibility and lead people from early on. On top of that, I am excited about the IKEA concept and culture. I always wanted to work in a dynamic company where challenging the status quo is part of everyday. With the IKEA Trainee Program I passed a well founded training. I have gained an overview of IKEA and the various sectors such as Sales, Logistics and Communication & Interior Design. Especially in Sales, I got a deep knowledge and was supported and coached by experienced managers. All those experiences, as well as the valuable networks, will help me to cope successfully with my future job as a Team Leader in the bedroom department. Personally, I can recommend this IKEA Trainee Program to everyone who likes challenges and who is looking for new or better solutions day by day. In IKEA, especially in Sales, everyday is different and therefore a trainee should bring a lot of energy and a positive attitude towards change with him. Of course, dealing with customers and making them satisfied, as well as leading people, should belong to your nature in order to complete the traineeship and all future jobs in IKEA with success and joy.
