“There was this Austrian stand at the fair”, explains Ewelina. “I've always been interested in working abroad but I wasn't really considering it seriously at that time.” It must have been down to her great curiosity and a happy coincidence that Ewelina ended up having her first interview with LKW WALTER at the fair - completely unprepared! “Three weeks later, I came to Wiener Neudorf and we finalised the details.”
Today, Ewelina oversees several departments dealing with transport in Eastern Europe. This successful developmentis no doubt due to her curiosity, which she lives out both at LKW WALTER and privately: “I love cooking and I'm always looking for new recipes.” At this point, all we can say is that Ewelina always has the right recipe for our customers and her team!
"The company is so multicultural it makes you feel at home."
Ewelina I., Director of Operations with her personal recipe for success
Coincidence or not: When Ewelina visited a job fair at her university in Poznan (Poland) in 2010, she wasn't actually looking for a job. Nevertheless, three weeks later the graduate business economist had a confirmed job offer at LKW WALTER.
"Three weeks after the first interview everything was finalised."
Ewelina's personal recommendation:
I recommend a job in the WALTER GROUP to anyone who likes to take responsibility and make their own decisions right from the word go.

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.
