“For me, it was clear even before graduating that I wanted to do something with prospects when it came to my profession. Something that fully challenges me, is meaningful and advances me personally. As you easily can tell from my many years of service, LKW WALTER was the right choice.” A few years after joining, Brigitte switched to Online Marketing in the WALTER GROUP, where she helped build the department.
Today, she is head of that department and leads her own team. “Like everyone in the WALTER GROUP, we are working extremely business-oriented. At the same time, I try to show my employees that they have prospects. Because I myself have experienced how motivating and important this is for the individual development process.”
"I always knew that I wanted to do something meaningful."
Brigitte G., Group Team Leader of Online Marketing with the skills to motivate
Came to stay! This summarises Brigitte's Career path in one sentence. Because her start at LKW WALTER after graduating from a commercial academy in 1999 was the beginning of a professional development story with lots of chapters worth sharing.
"My job challenges me a lot, but also allows me to develop personally."
Brigitte's personal recommendation:
I can only advise asking yourself with honesty whether this is what you want to do. Because only when you do something out of conviction and with pleasure, do you really do it well.

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.

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.
