How did I get where I am now or how to move ahead in your future career
The joy of new beginnings
Whenever I look back at my starting point in retail, I see a rather enthusiastic and somewhat scared youngster who just embarked on his professional journey. Never did I think that this will be my path, but, when the opportunities arise, I always chase them. From the very first moment, I was highly curious and willing to discover more.
Retail might have looked different when I started, but some things never change. No matter what career you aim to build for yourself, the most important thing is to never stop learning. I still believe that this curiosity and need for knowledge we have as young people is something we should be very keen on preserving.
Thanks to my family, I understood from an early age how important are determination and seriousness when you set out to do something. It is often said that the Germans are very well organized and rigorous, but today we live in an universe where there is no room for clichés. These important skills, backed up with my open personality, brought me where I am today, and for this, I am not only grateful but also thankful for all those who lent a hand along the way.
Within Kaufland Romania, we are always looking for talented young people who are eager to learn more. We want to be the ‘helping hand’ that pushes youngsters to turn their potential into something exceptional.
If I were to start again, I would do it all the same. It is important to let things settle down, to accumulate gradual experience, and thus to have a staged evolution in the field you have chosen. It is also important to enjoy the process.
Before you decide what career to pursue, carefully consider your options and abilities. Moreover, if you are looking for opportunities to develop your skills, I strongly encourage you to look at cariere.kaufland.ro, and in a couple of years from now, your story and mine could be more similar than you think.
What is in for you?
Kaufland Trainee Program
The beginning of a career is very important. It was for me, it is for you, as well. The trainee program runs for 12 months and gives you the chance to say START to a successful career at Kaufland, with a professional and diverse team, built as a family. What we can promise you is that no day will be the same because you will be directly involved in the activities of the department you will be part of.
Kaufland Internship Experience
Learning by doing is my favorite principle. Every summer, we start a new phase of the Kaufland Internship Experience program. One thing is for sure. At the end of the 3 months, this experience will become one of the most interesting you have checked so far because you will be directly involved in the activities of the departments and you will have the opportunity to put into practice all the theoretical notions acquired so far.
Trust yourself, be bold and curious!

3 年Thank you, Marco for sharing your story! Trainee Program was for many of us a beautiful and powerful beginning in a very dynamic career. Hope to see soon also this year the talented young people who are eager to learn more.
“The most important thing is to never stop learning.” - always a good reminder and so true! And it’s always important to learn with an open mind, in the sense that one can learn literally from every experience and interaction. And building on courses, trainings, etc., developing one emotional intelligence for sure makes a huge difference in life. Thank you for the precious time dedicated to this article, Marco!
