But it seems to be normal life in Pandora, right? Did you apply for the role or how did the process look like?
Well, yes… there are so many international career opportunities in Pandora. That was also a reason for me to reach out to my Director and manager last year and tell them about my dream to move abroad for a period of time and asked which opportunities they could see in the company for me. They were proactively looking for possible solutions and reached out to the different clusters. I hadn’t expected that such a great opportunity would come up so quickly, but suddenly there was a message from Southern Europe that they would need support in the Finance team in Milan for one year as a maternity cover and now here I am.
And your dream has come true – this is one of Pandora’s values! But what will happen after this year?
Yes, “We Dream” is one of our values and I think my adventure here is a good example for that, but also “We Care” is a part of this, as I feel safe and well supported. After this year I will go back to Hamburg – my old position is covered for the secondment year and my German contract will be reactivated for my return, which is a great feeling. I am also open for further development topics – let’s see what the future brings and which career opportunities on my Pandora journey might pop up along the way.
