Dear readers,
Today I would like to tell you something about my internship – I hope you enjoy reading.
My work placement was at the Red Bull Ring. Furthermore, I gained work experience in many different areas, which was not really what I had expected. Honestly, I was slightly disappointed because I had planned to do an internship at a bus company. But unfortunately, I am too young to get a driving licence yet. However, my practical training was at the Red bull ring, which is located in the vicinity of
the highway next to the Schönberghof. Additionally, I’d like to point out that public transport was hardly available, so I couldn’t use it because just for buses ran to the Red bull ring and they arrived at 8am, 10am, 2pm and 4pm. Unfortunately, at that time I already was as already working there. That’s the reason why I couldn’t use public transport and why I took my bike and rode to work.
This company (Red Bull Ring) is really big. At the beginning of my internship, I was a little bit confused because there were so many offices, kitchen and storage rooms. In terms of size, it is comparable to a hospital because it is so big. So two weeks later it was easy to work there because I knew all the offices, rooms and storage rooms. Moreover, there weren’t any rooms to sleep for patrons at the Red Bull Ring, but fortunately, near the Red Bull Ring, there is a hotel which is called Schöberghof.
I had a big advantage to work in Murtal, in my origin, because after work I could meet friends, went shopping or did activities with my family. Furthermore, I’d like to describe my tasks at this company. I worked 8 hours a day (+30 minutes break), 5 days a week. Sometimes I jobbed in the morning till 3 or 4 pm or I jobbed from 11am till 8 or 8.30 pm. Every day, when I came to work, my tasks were:
- Serving guests
- Filling up the staff canteen for the staff
- Sometimes I worked at the bar
- Doing mise en place
- Polishing cutlery and
- Laying the tables
At first, the working atmosphere was unfortunately not so good, but in the end it was good.
I 
prefered working at the lounge because the contact to the guests was much more personal, it wasn’t so stressful and I didn’t have to serve food, just drinks. I started to realise that it wasn’t so funny to work there because I didn’t like the job. On the whole, it was a beautiful experience for me, but I know what I like to do in my future.
So this was my blog and I hope you enjoyed reading.
