Employee Spotlight: A Conversation with Marketing Intern Jacob
Can you share your background and what brings you to do an internship at Techbros?
I was born in the UK and lived there until I was five, after which my family relocated to Düsseldorf, Germany, where I still reside today. I completed my high school education in April of this year and immediately began searching for internship opportunities to gain practical experience before starting university next year. I was drawn to Techbros because of its innovative approach and I saw it as an ideal place to develop my skills.
I dedicated my first two years in Germany learning the language, earning a C1 Certification. As the HR Manager at Techbros I can apply my communication and leadership skills while deepening my understanding of German labor laws. This role also enables me to enhance my English and German, as well as acquire new skills."
As an Intern, how do you usually spend your day?
Currently, my primary responsibility is redesigning and developing the company website, which occupies most of my time. This experience has been extremely valuable in honing my technical and creative skills.
How has your experience interning at Techbros so far? Have you experienced or learned anything new?
My experience at Techbros has been purely positive. From day one, I was encouraged to take the lead and experiment in various departments. After expressing my interest in web development, I was entrusted with the full redesign and development of the Techbros website, which has been an exciting challenge. Additionally, I was tasked with organizing two office events and workshops. This responsibility has helped me develop my organizational and communication skills while fostering a sense of community within the team. Overall, I've gained a deeper understanding of the tech industry and enhanced my problem-solving abilities.
Techbros continuously develops policies and strategies to enhance team communication, streamline responsibilities, and ensure processes such as hiring and onboarding are efficient and smooth. By fostering a motivating environment where departmental boundaries are blurred, we rely on a dedicated, highly supportive team and a management that embraces new ideas."
