“Yes, it's true,” says Aron. “Back in 2007, I didn't pay close enough attention and thought I was applying for a job at LKW WALTER in Romania. But looking back, it doesn't matter anymore.” In fact, with help from the company, the graduate in international economics immediately found a flat through the company and quickly acclimatised to Austria.
The many young people in the company from all over the world played a big part in this. “This cultural diversity still fascinates me. I speak 5 languages every day.” However, Aron also emphasises the high demands of his job as Group Division Manager for Greece. “From nothing, comes nothing. But I believe nowhere else would you have as much creative freedom and opportunities for further development than in the WALTER GROUP.”.
Note: Thanks for your commitment Aron! Your promotion to Director of Operations as from February 2024 is well deserved.

Aron S., Director of Operations with short acclimation period
Like so many employees, Aron came to LKW WALTER straight from university. Although the passionate AC Milan fan didn't realise when applying that he would be moving abroad and away from his beloved Romania.
“I believe nowhere else can you develop like we do here.”
Aron's personal recommendation:
If you want to get ahead in your job, you need to go the extra mile. If you don't want to do it alone, but in a team of like-minded people, I strongly recommend getting in touch and starting "transfer-talks" with the WALTER GROUP.

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.
