That was the\nmoment, when SKF crossed my mind. The next day I sat down and started my\nresearch about the company, and what a lucky coincidence! Right at that time,\nthey were looking to fill a Global Graduate position in the IoT Development\nteam in Schweinfurt. I sent my application the same day and just a few days\nlater I received an e-mail with an invitation for the first interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first\ninterview was with an HR representative as well as my future manager. The whole\nconversation as well as the atmosphere were friendly and relaxed, yet\nprofessional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That day I left\nthe interview with a good feeling and just a few days later I was invited for\nthe second interview with some representatives from the Global Graduate Program\nin Sweden via Skype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After this skype\nmeeting, there was a third and final meeting with the local HR, as well as with\nthe manager of IoT Technologies. A few days later I received the final job\noffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Introduction\nMonth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The trainees and I spent the first month at\nthe HQ in Gothenburg, where we met the whole top management team. We also had a\nfactory tour to understand our manufacturing process, in addition to several\nsessions on the company setup and strategies. All in all, the introduction\nmonth was a great opportunity to meet the other trainees and start creating a\nnetwork within the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First\nRotation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I started my\nfirst rotation in my home unit; IoT-Development, in Schweinfurt Germany. In our\nproject, we were working on a solution for Machine-to-Cloud connectivity.\nBesides that, I was involved in designing a concept for the service and\noperation model for the factories and the IT organization to support the\nindustry 4.0 approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was a great\nexperience working with such a nice, professional and extremely knowledgeable\nteam. They were supporting me along the way and I\u2019ve learned a lot of new\nskills and topics. One of the highlights of my rotation was the Amazon Web\nServices (AWS) Summit in Berlin, where we joined with the whole team listening\nto different sessions about Cloud Computing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Time passed by really quickly and just a\nfew days after the summit, I was on a plane headed to Sweden kick start my\nsecond rotation in SKF\u2019s Headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Second\nRotation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Currently I\u2019m in my second rotation in the\nBusiness Process Solutions team, working on a Robot Process Automation (RPA)\ninitiative. Setting up a digital workforce will increase efficiency and allow\nmy colleagues to focus on other important tasks. Working with different\nstakeholders from different departments is sometimes challenging but also\nreally rewarding once we can present results and create value. I really enjoy\nworking in the new team and getting more insights on SKF as a company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s\nnext?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In September I will head to Canada, to\nsupport the Digitalization team there for 5 months and learn more about SKF\u2019s\nDigitalization strategy. I\u2019m looking forward! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Being with SKF for now eight months, I am\nsure that I took the right decision to join this company. An intercultural and\ntruly global company with demanding and diverse projects which allows me to\ngrow and take responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I hope this post gave a small insight to my\ntrainee journey with SKF! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cheers und bis bald \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Alex<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hej Hej and Servus, my name is Alex and I\u2019ve joined SKF\u2019s Global Graduate Program in September 2018.
