After completing her Masters in International Business and Supply Management at a college in Paris, Ségolène searched the internet looking for a job. Suddenly an advert for LKW WALTER appeared. "The job description, the company and Vienna all looked great. So I applied." Ségolène received an invitation for a job interview shortly afterwards. However, it came from Kufstein, not Vienna. "What and where is Kufstein?", she wondered.
A few days later, she was strolling through the old town before her interview, thinking how beautiful it all looked and that she could certainly see herself here for a while. That was back in 2016. Today, Ségolène is still working with us, having changed into the role of Sales Management by now. "The job is just extremely interesting and my colleagues are super nice." Which is probably one of many reasons why she will remain a part of the WALTER family for a long time to come!
"At LKW WALTER, I experience the advantages of an international company and the atmopshere of a family business."
Ségolène L. F., Division Sales Manager, student from Paris and a fan of Kufstein
Ségolène's application is a nice example of how things sometimes don't go the way you expect them to when looking for a job. However, it's also an example of how quickly these things can turn out for the better. Assuming you apply to the WALTER GROUP.
"My job is extremely interesting and all my colleagues are really nice."
Ségolène's personal recommendation:
At LKW WALTER you experience both the advantages of an international company and the atmosphere of a family business. If you appreciate this unique combination and are willing to work hard, you should contact our HR experts.
