Diana was in for a surpise. "During the interview, it became clear that my skills and talents were better suited to CONTAINEX than LKW WALTER." And so it is that today she does a wide variety of things there as a Customer Service Manager. "The spectrum is huge. From customer support by phone to dunning and invoicing."
Shortly after joining CONTAINEX, life had another positive surprise for Diana: She became a mother. Would that be compatible with her career? "Yes, because CONTAINEX immediately offered me flexible part-time hours. However, thanks to the great arrangement I have at home, I wanted to return to full-time work anyway."
"As a Customer Service Manager, I do all sorts of things. The spectrum is huge."
Diana R., Customer Service Manager and fully committed mum
After many years of being self-employed, in 2010 the time had come for Diana to seek a new career direction. So the Tyrolean agreed to an interview with the WALTER GROUP and came out of it as a brand new CONTAINEX employee.
"When I became a mother, CONTAINEX immediately offered me flexible part-time hours."
Diana's personal recommendation:
Career and family are not mutually exclusive. I get the impression that the WALTER GROUP makes every effort to respond to the family situation of employees and find suitable solutions and working patterns.

What career opportunities do I have as an experienced professional?
Generally professional experience or industry knowledge are not necessary for entry into our operational business. Because we educate new employees as part of our "Train the Winner" trainee programme and we cover both theory and practice. However, there are some areas in which we greatly appreciate relevant experience and previous knowledge. For example, in our IT, Legal or Sales departments, where we can offer (young) professionals attractive career opportunities. Our recommendation: Just take a look at our employment opportunities.
Does the WALTER GROUP offer apprenticeships?
The classic apprenticeships such as freight forwarding manager or office clerk are not offered in our company.
What does the application process involve?
In our employment opportunities each advert has a link that takes you to the online application form. Please fill it out and send it together with your application documents. Immediately afterwards, you will receive an e-mail. It confirms that we have received your application. Then it takes a maximum of 14 days for you to recieve a message from us about the result of your application. If it is positive, the next steps are:
- First "getting to know you" interview by phone or Skype.
- Face to face interview with one of our recruiters.
- Possible second appointment with the head of a specialist department for certain specific positions.
We will inform you of the final result of your application by e-mail or phone. If you want information about your application status in the meantime, our HR manager will be happy to help you.
