How did you get your professional training as an IT specialist for system integration?
I was studying electrical engineering when I had the idea: "Actually, computers are much cooler than this, why am I doing this? I then sent applications to a few companies for apprenticeships as an IT specialist for system integration. I had several interviews, several acceptances and, after a few trial work days at various companies, I decided on Meyer & Meyer because I felt very comfortable in the IT support team there. I then discontinued my studies at the same time as signing the training contract.
What expectations did you have of your professional training at Meyer & Meyer and were they fulfilled?
I expected that I would be able and allowed to work independently for the most part. This has definitely been fulfilled and I have even completed a few mini-solo projects in the meantime.
Which tasks have you particularly enjoyed during your professional training so far? Were there any tasks that you didn't like so much?
I particularly enjoyed setting up the intercom system at our supervisory board. That was the first project I was allowed to plan and carry out independently. This included the configuration of an IP intercom system and the router. I don't really like doing the typical trainee tasks. But since that doesn't happen very often, that's fine with me.
How were you integrated into the company as an trainee? Did you feel sufficiently looked after?
At the beginning, I was in the office with a colleague who explained the internal structures and working methods to me. After about a month, I was in the hotline and had to deal with the other employees of our rather large company. The support within the team is impeccable and honestly, we are the coolest team under the sun.
What tips do you have for those who are also interested in an professional training as an IT specialist for system integration at Meyer & Meyer?
Apply, be cool and ask for trial work days! Experience shows that this always goes down well. Basically, you should have at least some knowledge of computers - but we don't have any problems with starting from scratch.
