First days at work...

 On the 5th of September I started my internship at Exel Fil. It is a company that produces and exports different types of steel wires to all over the world. The head office and production facilities are located in Cervera/ Lleida, and the Export Department is in Barcelona, where I will be an intern for the coming five months.

The first day began at 10:00 p.m. and I got to know all the people that are working there. There are nine persons working in Barcelona, including me.

My company mentor is Mr. Saber Kolli. He is the Export Sales Director of Exel Fil and will help me to learn a lot during the internship. But also the other employees from the Export Department are really nice and will teach me a lot, according to their functions and responsibilities.

As an intern in the Export Department I will have different tasks to perform. I am doing an supportive internship so I will perform similar tasks like all the others at Exel Fil do.
I will be occupied with different aspects of the export business, such as dealing with customers, making sales offers, accounting, logistics and many more. The area where my interest will be mainly is the recycling market and I will be responsible for Germany.

Exel Fil produces amongst others wires that are used in the recycling industry. The wires are needed in baling presses to tie the bales made out of paper, carton, PET-bottles, and clothing for example.
In order to get familiar with the way the company works I visites the head offices and the production plant in Cervera on my second day.
