There are better and worse days in my job, but each of them can be considered a success when you work in a close-knit team with people who know what to do. Working in a purchasing office involves a lot of dynamics and decision-making under time pressure. In such a situation, teamwork is the key to success. I see my daily work as a quality engineer as a challenge - new experiences, new people, and unusual problems. There are days when achieving new goals is easy, but there are also moments when every step is bought with a lot of effort. My most important advice for 'beginners': Work with people you can rely on. Set yourself goals that you are capable of achieving. Build good relationships with suppliers.

What do you like about your job and the company?
What motivates me most is the inner feeling that what I do has a deeper meaning and is useful. While working in the quality department, I have the certainty that my work directly translates into the satisfaction of the client to whom the product goes, that the product is safe, and will be free of obvious defects or flaws. I also like when I have a specific goal to achieve and enough time to build a strategy to do it. An atmosphere of trust and relationships between co-workers is also important to me in my day-to-day work. Working at KF, I can always count on the support of my colleagues and I know that I can speak my mind openly and my voice will be heard.

Sometimes the best opportunities are the ones you don't see coming. Be your own authentic self and if you see an opportunity which catches your eye - go for it! You have nothing to lose, and you could just end up in a great new environment where you're able to keep learning, inspiring and loving what you do.

The best advice that I can give you is to be true to your values during the interview. Like everywhere, a company is above all made up of people so be yourself and think about the people you are meeting and potentially working with as well as the job itself. If you are not hired after an interview, it means that this role is may not have been the right one, but the right one will come along. Keep believing in you and your capabilities and never give up!

Believe in yourself, fight for your values and try to be independent in everything you do. When I say independent I am thinking about continuous learning, knowledge gaining and hard work. Sir Francis Bacon said "Knowledge is power" and this is my advice for me and why not for you. Never stop learning, apply what you learn and teach your peers and friends based on your knowledge and experience. Working in Quality for so many years I always have in my mind some words of Aldo Gucci "Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten", therefore try to do everything being responsible, being true and with "quality" and your value will be noticed all the time
