  22. The next step I will tell you a little bit
  23. more about is my position within a milk, any roads
  24. and about my project.
  25. I am a member of the purchasing departments.
  26. Uh, they would do covid 19.
  27. I was not able to discover the whole company, for
  28. example, working in the warehouse.
  29. Um, see the marketing, um, department, Uh, so that was
  30. a little bit disappointed, but I love working there.
  31. So the purchasing departments, I have a lot of task
  32. in the purchasing departments.
  33. I help with a lot of documents, make phone calls
  34. with suppliers, even with customers.
  35. Uh, and one of the things that I love to
  36. do is creating new articles.
  37. Yeah, creating new articles sounds very difficult, but it isn't
  38. now. Well, what is creating new articles?
  39. Well, we have to implement all kinds of information, uh,
  40. into the system, like article codes.
  41. Um, measurements of the pallets, measurements of the product itself.
  42. We also have to implement translations for foreign customers.
  43. All this information is directly linked to the ordering sides
  44. so our customers can see directly.
  45. What, uh, what kind of information there is about this
  46. product. Together with my mentor, we decided to start an
  47. own project, An old project.
  48. This project is about our suppliers.
  49. I have to deal with with them because we, uh,
  50. called r E F s document.
  51. It's something about certificate.
  52. How do we know assess our supplies?
  53. We check on the various aspects like the timely delivering
  54. the correct quantities.
  55. Um uh, also about correct quality and a few other
  56. parameters most of the time of my internship.
  57. I also spent on this project because they really want
  58. that It's a workable project at the end of the
  59. year that also, everyone in the company can use these
  60. documents. So it's something that really has to work.
  61. We now go to my typical Friday, where Friday starts
  62. at at a.
  63. D. M.
  64. With a meeting with my mentor.
  65. We discuss what happens last week, what I did well,
  66. what I have to check myself on.
  67. And we also talk about normal stuff school, etcetera and
  68. lasting in this meeting is about my task for this
  69. day. After that, I will check my mails.
  70. If I have a lot of extra tasks, it depends
  71. on every week after that.
  72. After that, I start with classifying all the documents.
  73. Um, I also have to feel the to go to
  74. the boat to go to go boxes.
  75. It's a new kind of thing.
  76. They started with articles who reach the expiry date.
  77. They normally sell it at a lower price.
  78. But thanks you too good to go.
  79. They feel a lot of boxes with all kinds of
  80. products, and he could sell this a higher price.
  81. The price isn't higher than normal, but it's still higher
  82. than selling the projects into outlets.
  83. Well, that's awful.
  84. It outlet is selling our products with a high discount
  85. 50%. 70%.
  86. Uh, that's also one of the thoughts that I have
  87. to do.
  88. I have to implement all the articles who needs to
  89. be into all fruits, and this is directly also directly
  90. linked, uh, to our website, and my law stock task
  91. is my project.
  92. So when I have time left, I work on it
  93. or through other tasks are also work on this project.
  94. Sometimes also have meetings about my project, for example, with
  95. the logistic manager had last week meeting of two hours
  96. discussing, um, finding new ideas, um, etcetera.
  97. We're almost at the end of my presentation.
  98. And the end is about my own conclusion about Middle
  99. Kanye World about businesses.
  100. Um, it's a little thing about myself also.
  101. So, um, we're almost done with our internship, and I
  102. realized that it's a hard business world.
  103. Why is it so hard?
  104. If you can negotiate, you are nothing.
  105. Um So if, for example, you let your supplier determine
  106. everything, he will around the company instead of you.
  107. So, um, what is this exactly say for, for example,
  108. supply role?
  109. Um, say what the prices are when he's going to
  110. deliver and what he's going to deliver.
  111. No, that's not good.
  112. You have to negotiate it very well.
  113. Which your supplier to manage that you are the best
  114. so that you are coming out.
  115. Best of the negotiations.
  116. Yeah, in terms of school subjects by internship company has
  117. been very well to e.
  118. R. P because they work with the same system.
  119. So that's very handily.
  120. Above all, I hope to see all the links, uh,
  121. in the company, and I learn from them.
  122. This has brought my insights and to see where the
  123. problems are and how I can investigate a possible solution
  124. for them.
  125. Uh, I also it also has an effect on myself.
  126. I took a little more more initiative.
  127. I have grown up also, and it also made me
  128. a little bit more independence.
  129. So more, more, independently.
  130. So I think this internship was ferry to take my
  131. first baby steps into the business.
  132. So this was my presentation.
  133. I hope you learned a little bit more about the
  134. milk in the world and that you enjoy this.
