On average, we spend around 90,000 hours of our lives working. Often, workplaces become the starting point for friendships that grow over time. This is how the friendship between Neringa and Erika began.
The women are no strangers to working with Baltic Employees – Neringa is currently on her 5th project, while Erika is on her 3rd. Despite their projects being different, they are happy with the work. We spoke to them about their experiences with our company.
How did you learn about Baltic Employees?
Neringa:
“I found out through friends. Some close friends of mine had already gone to work on one of your projects and recommended it to me. Although I had a good job in Lithuania – working at a gas station – everything ultimately comes down to money. In Lithuania, I didn’t earn in a month what I now earn abroad in just two weeks.”
Erika:
“My partner and I were in Germany looking for a new work project. We saw Baltic Employees advertising jobs in Germany on Facebook and decided to take a chance.”
What projects have you worked on?
Neringa:
“My current project – a chocolate factory – is my 5th. I’ve worked in a cosmetics factory, with fruits, making advent calendars for pets, and now I’ve been at the chocolate factory for six months.”
Erika:
“I’m on my 3rd project with Baltic Employees. I’ve worked in a factory assembling car seats, participated in a summer chairs project, and now I’m at the chocolate factory.”
How was communication with the coordinators?
Neringa:
“I’ve worked with three coordinators – Mindaugas, Vida, and Rita. I’m now on my second project with Rita and have also been on two projects with Mindaugas and one with Vida. I can say they are professionals who know their work, listen to your concerns, and address your needs. I don’t have a single bad word to say about the coordinators.”
Erika:
“I agree with Neringa – I had no issues communicating with the coordinators during the project.”
How did you adapt to the project pace and overcome challenges?
Neringa:
“It all depends on how we choose to live and work here; it’s up to us, not the project manager. As the saying goes, ‘He who doesn’t risk doesn’t drink champagne.’ When I went on my first project, there wasn’t much information – we received video material and explanations from management. We went without knowing what to expect, but we managed to adapt to different project paces.”
Erika:
“I’m not sure, but I just adapted. Of course, it’s challenging, but I adjusted to the project’s specifics and kept going. Challenges arise – sometimes people’s aggressive opinions – but I just ignore them. I also got used to the high-speed environment. I quickly familiarize myself with the circumstances and move forward.”
What advice would you give to those considering working abroad?
Neringa:
“Although there’s negative information about this company, working with Baltic Employees is fine. A lot of the online criticism comes from people who messed up on projects. If someone comes to work and earn money, they won’t have issues. It’s all about motivation and why you’re here.”
Erika:
“My only advice is, if you want to work and earn money, don’t be afraid and give it a try.”
