Praktikum

Hallo,

ich mache gerade ein Urlaubssemester und suche noch ein Praktikum für den Sommer. Ich habe gesehen, dass DHLC auch zu diesem Zeitpunkt welche anbietet. Dazu ein paar Fragen:

Wie läuft der Bewerbungsprozess ab?

Wie sind die Arbeitszeiten und ist die Arbeit momentan im Homeoffice oder in Bonn (wenn ja, gibt es Unterstützungshilfen für die Wohnungssuche?)?

Wie unterscheidet sich das IC vom externen Consulting (außer weniger zu reisen, etwas weniger Arbeitszeit), und was macht DHLC besonders im Vergleich zu den anderen DAX40 IHC?

Wie sieht es nach einem Praktikum mit späteren Festeinstiegsmöglichkeiten aus? Ralativ sicher, wenn man sich gut anstellt?

Vielen Dank für die Beantwortung der Fragen

Liebe Grüße

Marvin Griesbach

Hallo Marvin,

danke für Dein Interesse an DHLC!

Bzgl. Bewerbungsprozess: Nachdem du Deine Bewerbung eingereicht hast und diese erfolgreich gescreent ist bekommst du eine Einladung zu einem online Analytik-Test. Bei positivem Ergebnis wirst du dann zu einem unserer Recruiting Days eingeladen, um sich gegenseitig kennen zu lernen. Die Gespräche mit senioren DHLC Consultants bestehen wie bei anderen Beratungen aus einem personal fit Teil, sowie einem Case. Bei positivem Verlauf bekommst Du noch am selben Tag ein Angebot.

Bzgl. Arbeitszeiten / Arbeitsort: Wir haben ein flexibles Arbeitsmodell, sodass jeder an seinem präferierten Arbeitsort arbeiten kann. Um unseren “DHLC-Spirit” (z.B. bei Beers with Peers am Freitag) kennen zu lernen sind unsere Praktikant:innen aber gerne auch im Büro. Bei der Wohnungssuche unterstützt DHLC.

Die Arbeitszeiten variieren je nach Projekt und Projektphase, grob kann man von ca. 50-60h pro Woche ausgehen. Bei DHLC wird aber stark auf die Work-Life-Balance geachtet, sodass 60h eher die Ausnahme sind.

Bzgl. Unterschiede zu anderen (internen / externen) Beratungen: Natürlich gibt es viele Unterschiede, wenn ich nach meiner Erfahrung die Top 3 wählen sollte wären das: 
1) sehr flache Hierarchien und enge Kontakte, da jeder jeden kennt, die Partner-Ebene sehr nah an den Consultants ist, und auch viele Freundschaften unter Kollegen entstehen. 
2) sehr international, da wir Kollegen aus aller Welt haben (unsere Unternehmenssprache ist auch Englisch) und wir für DHL als einen der internationalsten Konzernen arbeiten.
3) Fokus auf Supply Chain: sowohl bei unseren internen Mgmt.-Beratungs-Projekte (in HR, Finance, Operations, etc.) für DHL als auch bei unseren externen Projekten bekommt man spannende Einblicke in den Logistik / Supply Chain Sektor.

Bzgl. Angeboten nach erfolgreichem Praktikum: Ja, bei guter Performance bekommen unsere Praktikant:innen nach Abschluss ein Angebot für einen Festeinstieg. Viele unserer momentanen Consultants haben davor auch ein Praktikum bei uns gemacht.

Viele Grüße

Elena

Interview with Gina Dahmann, Senior Consultant at DHL Consulting
 What skills do you need to be a Senior Consultant?You need good analytical skills so you can get to grips with a problem quickly and hone in on the solution. And you need the ability to explain ideas to the client in an easy and understandable way, so good communication is essential, too. How does DHL Consulting empower its women?By giving us the feeling that we are all valued — not because we’re women, but because we’re doing a good job. I also like its transparency around equal salary, and I’ve never had the feeling that male colleagues are more highly regarded or have better career opportunities than female colleagues. Plus I think it’s great that our CEO, Sabine Mueller, is an excellent role model and an example of female empowerment. The fact that we have a female leader makes me proud to be part of the DHLC team. What's the best thing about working at DHLC?I really like being surrounded by inspirational people. There’s a really cool crowd here and I’ve been learning a lot from them. DHLC also makes a big effort to be truly international with team members from across the world. That’s what makes us really unique as an organization. Do clients expect to see diversity in the DHLC teams?I think clients expect us to always be open-minded and to constantly generate great new problem-solving ideas. The best way to do that is by having a diverse crowd who all have different opinions. There’s no point in everyone thinking the same because it’s not the way to come up with innovative solutions. Also, as a team member, it’s really useful to have people with a range of different skills, views and experiences within the company, because then there’s always someone you can turn to for help and advice on any subject. Sounds interesting?
