As a na­ti­ve Rhi­ne­lan­der, it was quite a plea­su­re for me to spend time at Te­c­Al­li­ance’s Co­lo­gne lo­ca­ti­on. The fact that I was al­lo­wed to ro­ta­te with Mar­ke­ting to a de­part­ment that also in­te­res­ted me and whe­re I also wan­ted to spend time was the cher­ry on top of the cake.

Ear­ly Mon­day mor­ning, I set off from my home town towards the Rhi­ne­land me­tro­po­lis. Once the­re, An­dre­as Leut­hold from the team show­ed me around the of­fice and in­tro­du­ced me to the team­’s ba­sic soft­ware. On this day alo­ne, I was able to gain an over­view of the di­ver­se tasks of the de­part­ment and get a tas­te of the va­rious are­as. That day and over the cour­se of the week, I was able to take on in­cre­asing­ly re­le­vant tasks and sup­port the team with them.

Af­ter a good, in­te­res­t­ing but also ex­haus­ting week, I pa­cked my things and hea­ded back home in a good mood.
