Four
women, an IT-manager, a supervisor in a software development department,
a marketing manager and an electro engineering technician describe
their jobs in a very personal way. They give an account of their
attitudes, the requirements of their jobs, the positive aspects
and the difficulties.
Annett who is supervisor in software development likes involving
her creativity and working in a team. But she also reports: “It’s
not easy for women working in technical fields. You always have
to convince the male employees of your competence - and that is
a real hard job!”
Anja, an electro engineering technician, likes the challenge in
her job.
Ellen is IT manager and Sandra marketing manager at Siemens mobile.
They describe on the Siemens Career Website why they like to work
in the company and what they suspect from new colleagues.
This collection of interviews helps women to get an image of job
tasks, requirements and perspectives.
The very personal descriptions may motivate young women considering
working in ICT fields too.
