How long have you been with msg life Slovakia?<\/h2>\n

“I have been with msg life Slovakia since March 2020.”<\/p>\n

What job were you recruited for?<\/h2>\n

“I was recruited as a Project Management Officer.”<\/p>\n

How did you get into project management?<\/h2>\n

“I was looking for a job that would fulfill me in the long term<\/strong>, where I could grow professionally, improve my PC skills and language competences.”<\/p>\n

What attracted you to working at msg life Slovakia? Why did you choose us?<\/h2>\n

“The first thing that caught my eye was the job offer, which seemed challenging and I was hesitant to apply or not. I took it as a challenge<\/strong>, fought for it and today I am happy that I succeeded. Now I understand why I went through several rounds of interviews. Why did I choose msg life Slovakia? I knew I wanted the job and I had a good feeling about the people who interviewed me and the overall atmosphere. I was very pleasantly surprised by the personal approach and interest of my future employer<\/strong>. I appreciated and still appreciate his dedication and approach to the staff. In addition, msg life Slovakia is one of the few companies to offer a wide range of employee benefits<\/a><\/strong>. It’s also a baby\/family-friendly company, so I’m able to combine work responsibilities with family and personal pleasures<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

\"Work
Project Management Officer says: At msg life Slovakia I can combine work duties and my private pleasures.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

How is working for us different from previous work experience?<\/h2>\n

“Working conditions, the atmosphere in the team, the company philosophy and the value of the person. At msg life Slovakia I am a person, not a number<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

What does your normal working day look like?<\/h2>\n

“I admit that I have not experienced two identical working days in a row. Every day is different and brings with it many challenges, and that’s a good thing. Otherwise, I’d be bored. However, I do make coffee every morning and during the day and try to socialise with colleagues if work duties allow. I missed this activity when working remotely. Basically all day long I deal with agendas, tasks and requests<\/strong> that are either regular, but also with those that are related to specific meetings on a given day.”<\/p>\n

What are you working on now?<\/h2>\n

“I am currently working on several projects, two customer and one internal. It is difficult to describe the job of Project Management Officer as we have a very broad portfolio of activities<\/strong>. It depends on how long a person has been in the job position and needs time to gain the necessary experience and knowledge of our industry. I make sure that the projects are clear from a controlling, organisational and financial point of view. And a lot of activities really fit under this characteristic. Project Management Officer<\/strong> is part of project management<\/a><\/strong>, is directly involved in its activities and supports the project and programme manager in their projects.”<\/p>\n

What projects are you currently working on?<\/h2>\n

“Signal Iduna and VHV.”<\/p>\n

With whom do you communicate and solve problems?<\/h2>\n

“I communicate with my project and programme managers but also with colleagues who are working on the project.”<\/p>\n

\"Communication
Zuzka communicates with project and program managers, as well as with other colleagues.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What programs do you use at work?<\/h2>\n

“I work with MS Office, most of the time – 99.9% – I work with Excel. Within the team we also use OneNote and of course PowerPoint. For communication and presenting StarLeaf, Unify, Fastwiever. I also work with ERP, JIRA and CRP.”<\/p>\n

What skills\/knowledge are important for your job?<\/h2>\n

“Good communication skills, language proficiency<\/strong>, proficiency in Excel at an advanced level is key. Those who are not spreadsheet types and hate Excel will be unhappy. You also need intrinsic motivation, a willingness to learn new things, calmness, consistency, responsibility, to be able to set priorities, to allocate time and energy to tasks correctly.”<\/p>\n

What do you like most about your job?<\/h2>\n

“I am improving my skills in foreign languages and in working with programs, especially Excel. I can see a lot of progress in myself compared to my knowledge when I started working. The disadvantage is the time commitment.”<\/p>\n

What are your colleagues like?<\/h2>\n

“My colleagues are really great. They are friendly, cheerful and always helpful. I can count on them.”<\/p>\n

\"Office
Friendly colleagues create a pleasant working atmosphere.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
