Ilona’s Success Story in Germany with Baltic Employees. 🌟
Ilona has been traveling to various projects in Germany for over 4 years. It all started at a chocolate factory, where she spent almost the entire 4 years working diligently and supplying Germany with sweets.
What did you do before changing your career path?
Ilona: “I worked for 20 years as a land surveyor, and for the last 10 years, I was a cook in a café. I decided to go abroad for better pay and better conditions because the workload in the café increased, but no one was willing to raise the wages.”
What has been your experience going abroad with Baltic Employees?
Ilona: “I was definitely scared. My daughter worked as a coordinator abroad, came back for a week’s vacation, and took me along. I was stressed, but I agreed to go with her. The main challenge was the language barrier; people speak German, and I understood some, but there weren’t many Russian speakers at the chocolate factory. What made it easier was that we could live together.”
How would you summarize the accommodation in Germany through Baltic Employees?
Ilona: “The conditions are really excellent, it’s warm, with a separate room, and a shared kitchen and living room. There’s a separate shower and toilet. In a word – GREAT.”
What advice would you give to those considering going abroad for work?
Ilona: “You have to understand that if you want to earn money, you need to work. Money doesn’t grow on trees, and no one wants to pay you for sitting around. If a person is hardworking and responsible, then they should at least try working abroad. In Germany, we not only worked but also traveled a lot.”
We thank Ilona for her openness and the opportunity to chat. 🌟
