BA Business Administration

Briefly describe your current job. Is it typical for a graduate in your field?

I am working at Just Eat Takeaway (the global company for Lieferando) as a Corporate Development Specialist. Currently, were 14 employees located in Berlin, Amsterdam, London and Wroclaw. The role focuses on leading projects across the company. Working side by side with different stakeholders from different departments. In the company, there are entry level job opportunities which will also be a good fit for graduates.

Describe a workday: what is unique and what is routine?

I like to start each day by going over my emails. Then I’m checking my schedule to make sure any calls or meetings I have are top of mind and I get any prep work for those done first thing. Then, I check my to-do-list, prioritizing what has to be done first and adding tasks as required. The team has a pipeline of projects, from time to time we sit together to discuss what is coming up and what we have accomplished. This usually changes up the routine and opens the door to learn new things.

What is the most challenging work/study situation you have faced and how did you overcome it?

A challenging situation I’ve faced recently is when a coworker left her job unexpectedly. When she left, my manager asked me to take over her responsibilities which involved some topics that I hadn’t worked on before. I had to learn the topics in a short time in order to be able to present it to higher management.

What did you take from your time as a student at BI and what are you able to apply most frequently?

As a student I learnt how to manage my time effectively while completing my university tasks, working and not putting aside my hobbies. This time management helped me also while starting my career. I believe that time management is a key in being organized and focused on tasks.

What projects are you currently involved in or planning for the future?

Currently I’m working on three different projects. An example of one of them is the ‘HybridWayofWorking’. The program consists of 5 workstreams. After developing objectives and milestones, I’m working with different stakeholders to monitor the project progress, set deadlines, solve issues that arise and coordinate alignment between all workstreams.

Do you have any advice for current students?

Take responsibility for yourself and remember to balance between study/work and life. When you have big tasks to accomplish, breakthemintosmaller tasks, prioritize them and plan accordingly.
