A job full of variety: Luisa about her work at Local Brand X
Hi Luisa, I'm glad you took your time. Please briefly introduce yourself.
My name is Luisa Reiß and I have been working at Local Brand X as an assistant to the management since October 2024.
You haven't been with us quite that long now. How did you decide to apply to Local Brand X?
In fact, I discovered the job ad rather by chance and couldn't get it out of my head. Since I was looking for new challenges anyway, I thought to myself: “I'll just give it a try and see what comes of it.” And now I'm here, which makes me very happy.
How would you describe your typical working day and what do you particularly like about it?
I don't really have a typical working day because my tasks are so varied. They range from assistant tasks to personnel topics, classic office management and accounting topics. I also deal with the topics of data protection and occupational safety, which makes every day different. Depending on my priority, I then spend more time on HR issues and sometimes more on accounting. It is precisely this variety that I particularly like and makes my job so exciting.
Did you always want to work in this area, or what was your dream job as a child?
No, not at all! As a child, I wanted to be a stewardess because I thought it was cool. But I quickly realized that I wasn't cut out to walk in high heels all day and the fact that I would have had to wear contact lenses as a person wearing glasses wasn't as ideal. When I was 17 or 18, I discovered that I enjoyed commercial processes. I then completed an apprenticeship as an industrial clerk in order to position myself broadly. After working as an accountant and office manager, I finally ended up as an assistant. In my current position, I've now found something that combines all of these areas — and I just really enjoy that.
You already know Local Brand X a bit. How would you describe the team spirit?
I would describe us as a dynamic electoral family. You can feel that everyone really wants to work together. We pull together and everyone helps everyone.
Last but not least: What do you like to do in your free time when you want to completely switch off? Do you have a hobby or passion that really makes you blossom?
I read a lot in my free time — it's the perfect haven of peace for me. I also like to hang out with friends and enjoy gaming or cocktail evenings, which are always really nice. As a balance to sitting in the office a lot, I have also discovered yoga for myself, which is very good for me.
