A Driven Team Across Europe!

My history with AUTODOC started years ago. From 2013 to 2019, I translated German content into Dutch and English on a freelance basis. I was working on a study of automotive technology and out of necessity, I became very adept, eager to please, and desperate not to lose this regular client. In 2019, the steady flow of assignments suddenly stopped. I didn't question this, as I had another ongoing project. A year and several months later, I had become disillusioned with that job and I despairingly googled "Dutch jobs Berlin" to find, to my surprise, that AUTODOC was hiring. I wasted no time in applying and reminded HR of the years of proficiency building I had done as a freelancer. I started to work for AUTODOC as a full-time employee in November 2020, the pandemic being in full swing.

Generally, the work was familiar, and translating at home was like going back to the old days. I was soon given SEO copywriting tasks, for which I was able to use the experience gathered at my previous employer to my advantage. Occasionally, I coach new colleagues in copywriting. At my age, you like to think that you are done growing as a person or professionally. However, I am aware of the fact that both marketing and SEO strategies change over time. It is important to remain prepared for changes. That's what keeps you young.

I learned about AUTODOC when the office was opened in Odesa, Ukraine. And every time I passed by, I thought "how cool it must be to work there, everything is so beautiful." One day a friend of mine said that he saw a job opening and insisted that I send in my CV. I did that, and a month later my career at AUTODOC Ukraine began. As before I had worked in public service, my first working day in the new office seemed to me like a trip to Disneyland. I got into a very good team, I had never been so comfortable at work. But when the war started in Ukraine, I was on vacation and could not return home. I am currently living in Germany. And I am very grateful to the company for their support. They gave me a work contract, which is very important for a normal life. All my colleagues supported, and continue to support me with their words, and that is very important right now. My family and I are very grateful to the company and colleagues for their support at such an important time. AUTODOC is not just a company – it's a family. Despite the lack of understanding of the work of a lawyer in Germany, thanks to my colleagues, and the team, I was able to learn quickly and do my job well. AUTODOC has been with me in good times and supported me in bad times, and I appreciate that so much!

I really appreciate AUTODOC for opening new doors and bringing my career to a new international level. Prior to joining AUTODOC, I worked for international companies such as Philip Morris and Henkel, running sales teams and managing products at a national level. Currently, I am responsible for the private brand portfolio around Europe, which means 27 countries, and I am also helping to launch another project in France. This is a huge responsibility, with dozens of "creating from zero" cases, thinking out of the box, and constantly questioning the status quo. I not only like my job, I love it because I clearly see the huge impact I make on global business with my daily routine.
