Boost for your career

Patrick Schmahl completed his training as an electronics technician for energy and building technology in the field of lighting and electrical engineering systems.

"I was already very enthusiastic about technology as a child and I quickly realized that I wanted to do an apprenticeship in this field."

After completing his training, he was taken on, but soon developed the desire to learn something new. He then let his contract expire and registered as a job seeker.

He had already gotten to know DPL Professionals GmbH as a reliable supplier for many years in his training company. Now, in search of a new job, the contact was initiated by the employment agency:

"DPL contacted me and invited me to an interview. Naturally, I wanted to take a look at the whole thing and made an appointment. I then met Medin and Semir Sekic on site, who offered me an employment contract straight away after a brief conversation. The offer was good, so I signed it."

Although he was initially averse to temporary work, DPL was able to give him the decisive career boost he needed: Patrick used the contacts to find the right job for him and stuck to his assignment.

"The advantage of working in industry is that I get to see a wide variety of things and go to places where no one else can. This morning I was installing pipe routes and pulling cables at a height of 30 meters."

In the end, Patrick was taken on by DPL's customer after just under nine months. He has nothing but positive things to say about his time in temporary employment: "What I appreciate about DPL is how uncomplicated it is! I'm not a fan of job interviews and really just want to let my work speak for itself, which was possible here. My matters were always dealt with directly and everyone was always friendly to me. I can only recommend it to others!"

His DPL colleagues did not put any obstacles in his way, but were very happy for him and wish him all the best for the future. But what will that look like?

"I can well imagine staying here permanently. The people are very friendly and the team is great. And we have breakfast together every Friday."
