More details about your skills
German is our native language, and we speak English fluently at a C1 level.
Additionally, once a month, we both help organize a jam session at a local jazz club, where we also sell drinks and snacks, and assist with various other tasks to ensure the event runs smoothly.
Maria:
I recently graduated from a Higher Technical College for Construction and Engineering, where I gained a solid foundation in the construction field. Through my internships, I acquired hands-on experience on construction sites, which helped me apply my technical knowledge in real-world settings.
Additionally, starting at the age of 13, I spent two summers working on a cow alp in the mountains, where I learned how to care of animals and gained valuable working experience. I also helped out at my grandparents farm from time to time.
Marlene:
In June 2024, I completed my five years at the Higher Technical College for Design and Engineering, where I majored in civil engineering. During this time, I gained valuable experience working with various construction and engineering companies.
Each week included a “hands-on day,” where we learned practical building techniques, such as constructing brick walls and basic welding.
Additionally, I have taken care of my two younger siblings from a young age and regularly assisted on my grandparents' farm. I also help my grandma with chores, including cleaning. Furthermore, I have experience in event research and press work.
