A random working day

At 09:00 you start up your laptop and take a tour through the office. You see that the dishwasher is full, so you unload it, grab a cup of freshly ground coffee and go through your mailbox. You prioritize new emails and check the tasks that are on your to-do for today. Then the phone rings. An applicant has questions about a vacancy and you answer them enthusiastically. You will then assess the received applications. You discuss a number of CVs with the managers and schedule 2 interviews. You personalize a nice gift online for a colleague’s anniversary that will take place next week and you have a short meeting with the HR Manager to discuss current affairs.

Time for lunch! Are you going for a healthy couscous salad with grilled vegetables or a tasty sandwich today?

After lunch, the masseur will be waiting for you and you will enjoy a relaxing massage. You are fully reloaded and pick up a number of emails with questions from colleagues. For one you arrange a new access pass and for another you request a German course. An applicant will come in for an assessment at 3 p.m. and you ensure that everything is ready and you supervise the applicant. Meanwhile, a customer calls with product questions that you forward to customer service and you make an Excel overview of the costs and benefits of that one vacancy for which you found the right candidate last week. You check with your IT colleague whether the laptop has been prepared for a new colleague and whether the workplace is ready.

Wow, it’s already 5:30 PM. You take a quick tour through the office, empty that full trash can and close your laptop. See you tomorrow!
