MICHAELA KATHINKA SCHWARTING
RECEPTION
How did you become part of the Brüning Group?
Through my previous employer. There was a folder in the break room of our training participants containing current job vacancies in Bremen. The name Brüning kept popping up from time to time. So when the Brüning Group posted a position at the reception desk, I didn’t add this job offer to the folder, but applied for it myself instead. I’m delighted that it worked out.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
Our customers, suppliers, and colleagues in the company present my colleagues and I at reception with tasks that require a quick to medium-term solution. We work in a solution-oriented way and enjoy organizing. That makes it interesting. No two days that are the same.
What has been your funniest experience at work so far?
I’m always thrilled when Austrian customers or suppliers call and often speak in a broad dialect and I answer in the same vernacular. That leaves them flabbergasted for a brief moment.
If you could swap your job for another job at the Brüning Group for a day, which one would it be and why?
Our office in Munich. Then I’d be up on the mountain in no time to go skiing.
Name your work or life motto to make the day your day.
”As for the future, your task is not to foresee it, but to enable it.” This quote from Antoine de Saint-Excupery is a good motto to motivate yourself. Just make it happen!
