Please introduce yourself to our readers. Who are you and what do you do at the IT Center?\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Hello everyone. I&#8217;m Yasin Kalem and I&#8217;m 23 years old. You may already know me from previous blog posts in which I gave you an <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/en\/2023\/03\/20\/alltag-von-dima-azubis\/\">insight into the DiMA apprenticeship<\/a> or from the reports on my <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/en\/2023\/11\/29\/auslandspraktikum-auf-malta\/\">internship abroad in Malta<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After starting my training as a dialog marketing specialist at the IT Center at RWTH Aachen University in 2021, I successfully completed it in June and have been working here full-time ever since.<br \/>\nMy main tasks as a permanent employee include the redesign (and implementation) of the communication training for our trainees and new employees to professionalize internal and external communication as well as the development &amp; research of sustainability at RWTH Aachen University. I am also an IT-ServiceDesk expert at the Front Office Desk (FOD) and SuperC and responsible for optimizing processes and documentation for personal support.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>\u201cThat sounds exciting and like a lot of responsibility. But let&#8217;s start at the beginning. What made you decide to train at the IT Center? What did you hope to gain from it?\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>For me, there were a few requirements that had to be met for a potential apprenticeship.<br \/>\nWorking and communicating with people was very important to me and I wanted to combine this with my interest in IT. I also attached great importance to quality training and a recognized institution, which is how I became aware of the RWTH IT Center and applied directly. Fortunately, I was hired shortly afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>Above all, I was hoping for a structured daily routine with set working hours and established processes as well as a secure job and, of course, a lot of new knowledge that I could acquire. I had really high expectations of myself and the training.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00549f;\">Strengths and Weaknesses<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>\u201cAnd how did it go during your apprenticeship? What tasks did you have during your time as an apprentice and what did you enjoy most?\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>My tasks were a mixed bag. There were the basics, which were the order of the day the whole time, such as writing reports and providing customer support in person and by phone\/written correspondence. But I was also able to sit in on the various groups, such as the Marketing &amp; Events team (Marie) and IT-Administration. I was also involved in the \u201cAbout IT-module\u201d, the revision of individual pages of the IT Center help documentation and the maintenance and digitization of learning materials for trainees. In the meantime, there were also projects I was involved in, including the marketing campaign to promote the apprenticeship on social media and the internal \u201cmagazine project\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout my time as a trainee, I was also the trainee spokesperson and acted as an intermediary between the trainees and the management. In short: there was always something to do.<br \/>\nBut what I still like most is working in customer support. This is where the technical and communicative components come together, which is the most important thing for me personally. It gives me a good feeling to be able to apply the knowledge I have learned and help people.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>\u201cDid you encounter any obstacles along the way? And if so, how did you deal with them?\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Oh, yes! As far as apprenticeship is concerned, I would consider the initial period to be the biggest hurdle.<br \/>\nBecause I started during the coronavirus pandemic, I was initially only able to work from home. However, as I can work better on site, I shared my concerns directly with my manager and, after consultation, it was possible to work in an office on site, subject to compliance with the conditions. This took a lot of pressure off me and also showed me that I could share my concerns openly.<\/p>\n<p>But the induction and the technical content were also a major challenge for me, as a lot of new knowledge and internal processes had to be processed in a short space of time. Learning my own work structure and time management was another challenge at the beginning.<br \/>\nThese were major challenges that I was able to overcome slowly but surely during the apprenticeship, but above all WITH the apprenticeship. During these three years, I learned to work on myself and with myself and got to know my limits.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, Yasin has been able to learn a lot of new things over the last three years and complete his apprenticeship with complete success.<br \/>\nCongratulations to him!<\/p>\n<p>Find out how he achieved his goal and what comes next in the second part of the series!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Responsible for the content of this article are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itc.rwth-aachen.de\/cms\/it-center\/it-center\/profil\/team\/~epvp\/mitarbeiter-campus-\/?gguid=PER-BF4P79Y&amp;allou=1&amp;lidx=1\">Sara Erdem<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itc.rwth-aachen.de\/cms\/it-center\/it-center\/profil\/team\/~epvp\/mitarbeiter-campus-\/?gguid=PER-6S9JPKG&amp;allou=1&amp;lidx=1\">Yasin Kalem<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry, this entry is only available in Deutsch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6019,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"c2c_always_allow_admin_comments":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[341,312,313],"tags":[274,1053,126,1050,589,1199,1200,973,889,344,99,120,840,1051,217,1029,837],"class_list":["post-19880","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ausbildung-jobs","category-insight-it-center","category-interviews-umfragen","tag-ausbildung","tag-auslandspraktikum","tag-auszubildende","tag-azubi","tag-azubis","tag-dialog-marketing","tag-dialog-marketing-specialist","tag-dima","tag-dima-ausbildung","tag-interview","tag-it-center","tag-it-servicedesk","tag-kaufleute-fuer-dialogmarketing","tag-praktikum","tag-rwth","tag-rwth-aachen","tag-training"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6019"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19880"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19880\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21473,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19880\/revisions\/21473"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19880"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19880"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
