I keep educating myself to get ahead and achieve my goals.

This is how I would describe my job to a friend:

I'm responsible for choosing suppliers. This means that I look for new suppliers, negotiate with suppliers and evaluate existing suppliers. I am also involved in strategic projects.

I spend most of my work day...

… in negotiations and talking to suppliers (often on the phone and by email, but also often in face-to-face meetings).

The coolest thing about my job is...

No two days are the same. The scope of my role is very varied and enables me to go on quite a few business trips. Furthermore, Trotec is an innovative, fast-growing company with a fantastic product.

The thing I appreciate most about Trotec is:

The atmosphere at work: There are flat hierarchies; you are addressed informally by everyone, and everyone is very helpful toward others. I also have a really great and understanding manager.

Something personal about myself:

I came to Austria at the age of four with my family from Romania. As my mum grew up in the Hungarian-speaking part of Romania, and my dad in the Serbian part, I speak lots of languages. In addition to German and English, I can speak Romanian, Hungarian, Serbian and Slovakian. I'm also doing a master's in Supply Chain Management at the University of Applied Science – on top of my full-time job.
