Tell us about your first day at something – school, work, as a parent, etc.

I will tell you something about my first day at work.

It’s when I started my apprenticeship as a specialist in wholesale and foreign trade.

I don’t remember the exact day, but it was in October. It was my first 8-hour job, so I felt amazed. Since it also meant that a new chapter started in my life. From school to the real work-world.

I still recall my colleague who introduced me to the office cosmos, the workflow when an order came in, or when someone wanted to be connected to the boss, etc. Her name was Mrs. Heine, a kind, caring woman. Also, my other colleague, Mr. Felske, the joke maker, was very patient with me and explained everything carefully.  

All in all, a great time where I learnt to take responsibility not only for myself but also for a business office.
