Marija Mijic, HR & Office Allrounder craftworks

Maria, what do you do at craftworks, and in what circumstances would I come to you for something?

I am responsible for Business Administration, which includes organizational and administrative activities. Furthermore, I am in charge of invoice allocation and accounting.

Maria, what led you to this career, and did your expectations about craftworks came true?

The Head of People told me about the open position at craftworks and she told me about the great values of craftworks and the positive team spirit. The values such as the open learning culture are really lived out and processes are much more flexible than in bigger companies so my expectations were definitely met.

Maria, what does your typical day at craftworks look like?

The days are usually very different and that is what I really like about my job. I regularly check the stocks, the needs of the team, or snacks. What is more, I also do accounting every week as well as the billing. Depending on the circumstances of what is happening I am responsible for different tasks.

Maria, when and how did you decide to work in this area?

My past positions have led me to my present position. In my last position, I used to do various tasks like billing, marketing, events, and training business so I really like the variety of different topics.

I would like to move on with some personal questions about yourself. Maria, you already told me that you have been to many remote cities and places, that’s why I wanted to ask you which place you would like to visit one day, where you haven’t been before? And I would also like to know your favorite place on the earth?

I would like to visit New Zealand very soon because of its beautiful nature.

Hawaii was one of the best trips I have ever had. There we have been to two islands and we were impressed by the amazing flora and fauna. Although Hawaii is in the middle of the ocean, you can still see the American influence.

Maria, what’s one thing most people don’t know about you?

Well maybe if people get to know me better they soon realize that I have a weakness for good cheese.

Maria, what movie have you seen recently and would you prefer to watch it?

Hidden Figures: the story of a team of female African-American mathematicians who served a vital role in NASA during the early years of the moon space program.

Which craftworks value is most important to you?

Team spirit and respect, these are for me the basic requirements for all other values to work.

Only 3 short questions left:

If you were the only human left on Earth, what would you do? Going out and enjoying the clear air.

Which season is your favorite? Autumn.

What three words would your friends use to describe you? Warm, reliable and spontaneous.
