Chiara: Hi Kim, tell me about it. What does a typical working day look like for you?
Kim: Hi Chiara. My day usually starts at 8 am. First of all, I start my PC, check my e-mails and get an overview of everything. Then, of course, there's one thing you can't do without: Coffee! We have daily meetings in which we discuss ongoing projects and distribute tasks. I mainly take on tasks such as creating quotations or order confirmations and preparing outgoing invoices. Processing customer emails is also on my daily agenda. I keep an eye on the current test positions and also take care of preparing the sales and production figures.
Chiara: In addition to your work here at the spo-comm headquarters in Nuremberg, you also have to go to vocational school in Fรผrth. What subjects are on your timetable?
Kim: In addition to the standard subjects such as politics and society (formerly social studies), English and the Plus Program D, I also have job-specific subjects such as IT systems, technology or application development and programming. As I'm doing a commercial apprenticeship, I also have a subject called "Business Management Processes", the theoretical part of which is probably closest to actual practice. I'm currently finding AWP (application development and programming) the hardest, but I think that's normal when you're faced with the task of programming a so-called "Windows Forms app" from one day to the next. In two years' time, I'll probably wish I had these tasks back! (laughs) But all in all, I really enjoy vocational school.
Chiara: How did you decide to train as an IT systems administrator in the first place?
Kim: My first contact with video games was relatively early on as a small child. That must have been on the NES and later on the SNES, with classic Mario, Zelda and Sonic games. That's when I became interested in consoles and later in computers. I'm a classic 90s kid and grew up with all that "stuff". This direction has continued to this day and so I have developed a, I would say, normal understanding of IT, but I am also interested in what lies behind it. That's how I ended up training in the IT sector.
Chiara: What do you like most about spo-comm and your work here?
Kim: What I like most here is that I get a very detailed insight into almost all areas - right from the start. The entire structure of the company and the processes are thus very clearly recognizable and understandable. For me, my working day is an ideal mix of classic routine tasks and other exciting to-dos that make no two days the same. I also get on really well with my colleagues. The entire spo-comm team is like a small family and we laugh a lot together in addition to our work.
Chiara: What is your favorite mini PC?
Kim: In general, I find the very idea of a mini PC very exciting, because before my training here I only ever knew the classic desktop tower PCs that pretty much everyone has at home. I probably find the passively cooled mini PCs most interesting, such as the RUGGED series or the classic WINDBOX II Quad, which looks very inconspicuous due to its size, but is nevertheless very powerful and can be used in a variety of ways.
Chiara: We are all very happy that you are part of our team. Thank you for taking the time for this short interview.
Kim: Thank you Chiara. I am also very happy to be part of the team and to be here. :)
