Trainee in Marketing
“As a trainee in retail marketing, I was introduced to practical tools and a number of different methods that help me find out what the real customer requirements are, and to come up with marketing campaigns based on the findings. During my studies in St. Gallen, the focus was on theoretical concepts and developing marketing campaigns for practical work projects. My colleagues at PostFinance were always open to my ideas and happy to answer my questions, and I was able to implement sub-projects myself. As a PostFinance trainee, I can proactively give my own input, and actually have an impact. I am part of a unique working culture that I have really grown to appreciate. What I really like about it is how open my colleagues are, and how easy it is to get along with the team and how personal it all is.”
Risk Management Trainee
“Ready, steady, go!” Having been instantly captivated by the openness and friendliness of the PostFinance staff at a graduate job fair, I actually ended up becoming a trainee in risk management a few months later in Berne. From the very first day, I was able to give my own opinion on a number of really interesting finance-related topics, and even take on some responsibility for individual sub-projects. During my traineeship I was introduced to a number of different methods, and I also acquired some specialist knowledge. It is extraordinary the way I was welcomed to the team, who both challenged me and supported me in equal measure. I always feel trusted implicitly, and I can develop without overly high expectations placed on me. I feel the trainee programme in fact surpassed my own personal expectations of the job, team and my colleagues.”
