I’ve been a regular Tesco customer, I like exotic foods. It may sound surprising, but that’s what ultimately led me to pursue a career here. I became a supply chain coordinator, which proved to be a great springboard for my career. I quickly fell in love with Tesco, the positive atmosphere and the helpful colleagues. After three years, however, I realized that I wanted to explore a new direction in my career, but I couldn’t imagine doing it anywhere other than here.
That’s when I made the switch to IT, and it’s been an incredibly interesting experience ever since. This field is endlessly dynamic, with constant change and new developments emerging all the time. You simply have to keep learning to stay on top of things – and I really enjoy this pace. The environment is absolutely international. I came to the Czech Republic already as a foreigner, and here I work with British and Indian colleagues on a regular basis. Each day presents a unique opportunity to gain new skills and experiences.
Developing myself has become a kind of hobby for me. I often find myself learning new things and exploring interesting topics related to my projects in my free time. It’s just as important to me as getting better at my job. With this career change, I feel that I have found what I was looking for and I am grateful that Tesco made it possible and provided support, especially since it was an unconventional move at first.
