Always in a good mood and ready to lend a helping hand: our working student Susanna is literally the sunshine of our team. In this interview, you can find out what she likes about her job at SANVT and who she would like to swap places with in the team for a day.
We asked Susanna what her perfect Sunday would look like:
Susanna: "Honstely, Sunday is pancake day for me. So I either go out for brunch or breakfast with friends or with my boyfriend or I make a big breakfast of pancakes at home. And then I usually go to the gym and/or for a walk - in either order. I usually do both in one day. And then just chill out on the couch in the evening."
How long have you been working at SANVT? How would you explain your role at SANVT in a few sentences?
"I've been working at SANVT for almost a year now, I started in September last year. I'm a working student for Marketing and PR and also help out in Customer Care. This meanst hat I always do customer care one day a week and the rest of the time I mainly work on PR or do SEO-optimization for the website or translate copy."
What do you like most about your work at SANVT? Have you already discovered any differences to other former workplaces?
"So, first of all, definitely the team, the flat hierarchy and simple structures. At SANVT you have more responsibility but also more freedom in what you do as well as a variety of tasks. Then also, that you can sometimes work 1:1 with Benjamin, that you can briefly discuss things within the team, that there are short communication channels and feedback rounds. This makes everything go much faster, but at the same time everything can be optimized more quickly. I like all that very much. And we can learn a lot as working students."
What’s your favorite SANVT Essential?
"Definitely the Heavyweight T-Shirt. I think I actually already own it in black, grey, white and off-white. So I think I'm only missing one more color. This is the best shirt ever."

What Susanna likes most about her job at SANVT
Although Susanna nowadays is very confident, it wasn't always like that. When she was young, she participated in an extra-curricular activity class called “Performing Arts and Design”. For the play "Rapunzel" she got the role as a tree since she was too shy to play a role with dialogue.
Can you share a memorable project or experience you’ve had with the team?
"I think I generally had a very good start at SANVT or rather a very good first few months. The fact that we went to Portugal and visited the factories - that was definitely a huge highlight for me because I was able to get to know the whole production chain. And then of course Munich, the pop-up store, how we all worked as a team and simply getting to know the customers in person. I think that also brought us closer together as a team."
"I would love to do social media for a day, because it's something I find super interesting. Or Carmen's role - Marketing and Brand Manager. I think marketing is what interests me the most. I just like creative work."
If Susanna could switch roles with anyone from the team for one day it would be Carmen
