My time at Echometer
A few things about me ☀️
- Studying business psychology in Osnabrück (5th semester)
- An intern for 3 months (beginning of August to end of October)
- Compulsory internship as part of my study program
- Area: Sales + Marketing (& everything I liked and could do)
- Popular skill: baking cakes
How it all started
As part of my studies, a three-month internship is planned to gain some practical experience. Through a fellow student, I became aware of Echometer while looking for an internship and decided to apply. After a very nice conversation with Christian, it was clear that I would be working with the Echometer team from the beginning of August to the end of October.
“I’ve never been a fan of rigid and steep hierarchies. A start-up therefore seemed perfectly suited to me! Echometer exceeded my expectations.”
During the internship
During my internship, I had the opportunity to adapt my work assignments to my own interests and strengths. The whole team respected and valued my work and my opinion from day one.
My tasks were very diverse! To name a few examples:
- Write blog posts: Feel free to check out some of the blog posts – you can find them on our homepage.
- Visualizations: I really enjoy working with graphics programs and I’m always happy when I get to design things. I worked a lot with Figma here - I had never heard of it before.
- Trade fair preparation: Maybe you’ve heard of Zukunft Personal? This year I was allowed to help prepare it (design of the booth and the flyer).
- Newsletter creation: Echometer sends out a newsletter that informs users about news in and around the product.
- Echometer testimonials: This was a very cool way to get in touch with customers independently. In an interview, the customers reported on their experiences. Under Success Stories you can find everything else.
“My highlight was that I was allowed to work independently in all tasks and that the team trusted me - that is not a matter of course for me as an intern.”
What might also interest you:
You have the option of working from home or on site. That was a very cool option for me, as I commute from Osnabrück - although I always preferred working on site just because of the team. ☀️
Team spirit!
By the way, my internship wasn’t just about work.
B.ouldering, B.eer, and B.ody building 🏋🏼♀️ were also a part of it! To translate that: We did a little workout together around lunchtime - wakes you up and is fun too 💪🏻! Alternatively, just a cup of coffee or tea with a nice chat and a piece of chocolate in between. 😊
My conclusion
Before my internship, I did not have the opportunity to work in a start-up and I am happy that, on the one hand, I was allowed to experience the start-up mentality as well as getting to know more about agile work structures could get to know.
Echometer is not only developing a software tool that strengthens the feedback culture, it is living feedback culture even yourself 🚀
All of this was only possible because the team welcomed me so warmly! Thank you for helping me with all my tasks with help and advice! Who knows, maybe we’ll see each other again sometime 💚
Just apply :) It’ll be cool!
