A field report: As a working student at ROCKETHOME

Young talents play an important role at ROCKETHOME. Our employees include a number of working students who gain their first professional experience alongside their studies and can contribute their new ideas and perspectives to the company. They all work in different departments and have a wide variety of tasks. Our working student Michele reports on her experiences at the company so far.

How did you decide to apply for a job at ROCKETHOME?

I wanted to go to work alongside my studies. Not just to earn some extra money, but above all to gain experience. On the one hand, it was important to me that I could develop my strengths and talents in the job and, on the other, that it was related to my field of study. I found the job advertisement for ROCKETHOME on a major job platform and was immediately interested. Not only can I apply knowledge from my studies, but as a pioneer in the digitalization of real estate, ROCKETHOME also offers an incredibly exciting working environment.

How did the application process go for you?

After I had sent my documents, I received feedback in the form of an email within a day. The first interview took place in the form of a video call, the second a day later at the ROCKETHOME office. At both meetings, I was pleasantly surprised that, although one of the managing directors was sitting opposite me, the conversation was conducted at eye level. The fact that Mr. Sirmasac himself takes care of the selection of staff also shows that you are not simply hired as a temp for unpleasant work, but that the skills and input that the students can contribute are recognized and valued.

You've been with us for 3 months now, what impressions have you been able to gather so far?

Even if you only work in one or two areas of the company, you still have regular contact with all teams as there are so many intersections in the tasks. These many insights can be a bit overwhelming in the first few days, but you soon realize what great advantages this company structure offers you. I have already learned so much and no two days at ROCKETHOME are the same. In addition, working together is really important here. Whether it's about the company or regular get-togethers, ROCKETHOME offers the best of both worlds: an established company with a relaxed start-up atmosphere.

We asked other working students at ROCKETHOME for their opinion. These are their answers:

"If you like working independently and flexibly, ROCKETHOME is the right place for you. You are quickly integrated into the team as a "fully-fledged employee" and can look forward to the odd after-work beer on the roof terrace." - Jana, working student in the marketing department‍

"From the very first day, all the employees made me feel like a fully-fledged team member. I look forward to a new working day at ROCKETHOME every time." - Anika, working student in project management‍

"Completed a 6-month mandatory internship here at ROCKETHOME in 2019. I liked it so much that I'm still here now. Surrounded by lots of nice and open people, it's always easier to work. ROCKETHOME is also super flexible when it comes to working hours or working from home, for example. The working atmosphere is very pleasant with large, bright rooms, lots of plants and a view of the cathedral spires." - Christian, working student in the areas of quality assurance (QA), support, logistics & project management
