How did you first hear about the traineeship at GABLER?
💬 “[Answer]”: During my online search for traineeships, GABLER was the first company suggested to me. After my research, I was quickly convinced – the company and its areas of activity immediately appealed to and inspired me.
Why did you decide to train as an industrial clerk?
💬 “[Answer]”: Because you go through all the departments, I found this job super multi-faceted and exciting, especially because I always learn something new and every few months something new comes my way in the departments. I get to know the whole company and therefore also many of my colleagues.
Which departments have you already got to know at GABLER and can you say which one you have liked the most up until now?
💬 “[Answer]”: First I was in the warehouse, then in Purchasing, followed by Financial Accounting, Controlling, QM, Order Management and Work Preparation. To be honest, I’ve liked all the departments so far, but I’ve liked QM and Service at GABLER Thermoform, where I currently work, the most 😊.
What exactly are your tasks in “Service” at the moment?
💬 “[Answer]”: I help with preparing quotations for spare parts for the machines. Then I process the orders and send order confirmations. I am also allowed to create packing lists, down payments and invoices. Then came the dispatch of parts, which I organized together with my colleagues.
What surprised you the most in our department?
💬 “[Answer]”: I was surprised by how quickly I settled into the department and became comfortable with the tasks, so that I was able to work independently after a short time. It was very easy for me to learn a lot of new things quickly and apply them in practice.
What did you remember about your time with us in the service team and what did you particularly like?
💬 “[Answer]”: What I especially liked was how friendly and helpful my colleagues in the department were. I felt comfortable right from the start and got very well with everyone. I really enjoyed my work and I knew that I could ask questions at any time without hesitating.
What do you like in particular about training at GABLER?
💬 “[Answer]”: I particularly like the great working atmosphere and the cooperation in the departments. I was warmly welcomed right from the start and quickly realized that I would always get support if I needed it. The apprenticeship is also very varied. I’m constantly learning new things and can apply what I’ve learned directly in practice.

Do you already have an idea of what area you would like to work in later on?
💬 “[Answer]”: Basically, I’m very open-minded about it. Of course I have my favorites, but I’m open to any department after my apprenticeship. There are now more departments that I can get to know, so I’m looking forward to that. That can certainly influence my decision.
Einar Jörn, our service manager, has the final word. @Einar: What do you think about Franzi?
Franzi has enriched our department from day one. She handled the work assigned to her with flying colors, impressed us with her perceptiveness and was an asset to the entire department with her positive charisma. We would like to thank you for this and are delighted that you are currently part of our team! Good luck for the rest of your apprenticeship at GABLER!
