Three new colleagues tell how they have experienced their first days and weeks working at JYSK. Welcome to the team, Linn from Sweden, Ricardo from Germany, and Hanne from Denmark!
Sweden: Linn Carlsson, Sales Assistant, Skurup
“It has been amazing starting at JYSK since day one! I look forward going to work and meeting new challenges together with my store team. My best experience has been the way my Store Manager and the rest of the team help me develop, both personally and together with the store.
My best advice for new colleagues would be to invest time in getting to know the products and the information around it. That makes the sale very fun and simplifies it for you. Also benefit from your more experienced colleagues. The team spirit within JYSK is fantastic!”
Germany: Ricardo Torreblanca Perez, Transport and Administration Manager, DC Homberg
“I am full of gratitude for the way I started with JYSK. It has opened a new door in my career, making me feel confident with a new role since day one. There has always been a clear understanding of our goals and growth expectations, which has been a strong motivator for me.
One of the biggest impressions about JYSK so far is how open, direct and extensive the communication, interaction and partnership between JYSK Business Regions are. In that way, we can achieve our common objectives and pull/push together in the same direction as a whole team.”
Denmark: Hanne Nissen, B2B Specialist, Head Office, Brabrand
“Becoming part of JYSK has been a truly great experience. I got a good impression of the company all the way through the hiring process. When the starting day came, my expectations could not have been higher, and I am happy to say that they have not been let down at any point since.
I was surprised to find out that JYSK ‘lives its values’. The values summed up: colleague, tradesman and corporate spirit come to life every day and they are more than a line on a poster. In my eyes, this makes JYSK stand out.”
