My work experience in Megger

For over 100 years, Megger has been the premier provider of electric test equipment and measuring instruments for electrical power applications. The trademark was first registered in May 1903.
Megger's product offering spans 30 distinct product groups with over 1,000 specific products.

Through a global network of several hundred sales representatives, product literature and user manuals in seven languages, and product software with multilingual display, Megger can work with its customers locally, anywhere in the world.

On the first day (23/05) my mentor Andrew Eberlein training practice introduced me to the company megger, just talked about safety regulations in different parts of company as people who stay in the laboratory must wear special clothes and shoes that will not allow the penetration of harmful substances in the human body. (This clothing I was given the first day). My first day I spent in the warehouse, where fully mastered the packaging of products. Friendly and helpful staff could several times to me, and that explains how to put a computer program I use, that would send already packed goods to the destination.
In the beginning it was very horribly and nervously, but the guys in unison said that I can cope and not get caught, their help is very helpful. The first day I was very tired, but just wanted to work without stopping.
Tuesday 05/24, all day I spent in the warehouse. Engaged, packaging, warehousing and drafted the paperwork to send the product to the customer, as the megger is a global company, then for each continent has its own rules and paperwork just different. It requires speed and attention. Wednesday 05/25 was held in the company logistics group, which is in charge of monitoring the delivery of goods, transfer it to the customer.

Thursday 26/05 and Friday 05/27 I spent in the warehouse, where she has already started packing, warehousing, receiving products on the store itself and its distribution in storage. It was very difficult, but thanks to a team in the warehouse, I do ​​it.

When we came in company we had a little tour around the office. The first place where we were it was the roof. There grows the very green gross and beautiful open view of Dover. After, we went down in basemen where is boiler, which heates of all building. And now i a little speak about it. In addition to their gung-ho energetic approach to shipping they try to reduce their ecological footprint as best they can. They have no company cars, they recycle, they have installed a sedum grass roof on Maritime House and planted where possible around the yards and car park. Currently they are investigating how the building can be zero emission using wind and solar power. And this is very ecologically and economically as for this company as for town. But they ultimate aim is not just to make Maritime House a 'zero emission building' but rather a positive emission building - one that gives back to the environment more than it takes. For their good force they had got environment award in 2005 and winner of the Kent business environment award 2009.

So, we started with the introduction of the company. Hubert, working in sales department, was very kind to show all departments of the company. They have such as: IT, Operations, Human Resources, Sales, Export, Marketing and others.

At that moment company is in a process of negotiating with companies in the market of Russia and Baltic countries.So, they would like us to help them with documentation and communication with their partners.

Also, we will investigate the transport process organization, from testing their products to their final destination to consignee.

Saturday 21.05.2011

Early in the morning we went to the Canterbury West Train Station.At 10.00 we were in London.

First of all we visited London Bridge.

 

Then,searching the London Eye we came to Big Ben=))

Walking in the park near the river,we noticed London Eye on the other of it.
London Eye was very impressive,we were so high, looking down all the sights of London.It's amazing.

Near London Eye is London Aquarium,so we decided to visit it too, and it was worth visiting.

Searching the Oxford Street for shopping we came to Trafalgar Squaire.
All sights are situated closely to each other.

After shopping we were all very tired,and it time to go home.
We went to the London Bridge station by tube and than to the train to Canterbury.

The train to Canterbury West shoud come at 20.49, but we came to the station at 20.54. Fortunatelly, the train was late for 10 minutes and came at 21.00.We were lucky=))

Wednesday,Thursday and Friday.

On Wednesday, we had english language and business classes until 16.30. After school we walked a lot along the streets,took photos and have a rest.

On Thursday, on lunch, we visited Canterbury Cathedral.It is very impessive and beautiful.

Thursday was a bit sad day, because a lot of students had their last classes and leave home.We have  already become friends, studying together. We took pictures and gave our contacts to each other.

On this day we had also our last lesson with Denise.She helped us to introduce ourselves in a company, to speak more confident in english.Denise is a wonderful, kind and very friendly teacher,we like her very much and will be missing her a lot.

On Friday, we had classes until 12.30. It was unusual to feel, that we don't need to go to classes after lunch.We were given our certificates,that we passed a general course of different levels of English.We said goodbye to students,to our teachers,gave them different little presents.While walking in the streets,we noticed two boys,holding the advertisement about a river tour around the city and decided to try.

Tomorrow,on Saturday morning, we are going to visit London.We hope, that we manage to do it and look at the all main sights of this city.

The second day: 17.05

Our girls don't lose the time in vain. They are doing their home work everywhere and anywhere.

SECOND DAY)

Time flies, the experience acquired. Today at Concorde International, we are prepared to work in our companies. We have found information about organizations and telling each other: their structure, history, activity / specificity of the types of goods are transported, etc. We also remembered what issues are encountered during the interview and prepared for the presentation itself. Every day we give homework. And all of this, of course, in English.)

Also, after such a long study, we walked around the Canterbury and planned for tomorrow morning hike in Canterbury Cathedral. Be smart pictures of World Cultural and Natural Heritage ...

Помни!

Помните, что:

1. Необходимо привезти после поездки обратно в Эстонию заполненные документы по практике. По этомо поводу вас дополнительно проиструктирует Наталья Варкки.
2. Чеки, счета, корочки билетов и все, что подтверждает оплату чего-либо (транспорт, проживание, экскурсии, так далее). Очень хорошо, если вы будете их подписывать своим именем и фамилией с обратной стороны.
3. Каждый день нужно заполнять блог, делать небольшой фото-отчет и записывать видео.
4. Нужно улыбаться чаще:)
5. По возвращению в Эстонию нужно будет заполнить отчет по практике всем вместе (дата и время будут указаны на блоге). Кабинет N409.
6. Помните, что можно взять с собой небольшие сладкие подарки в семьи (шоколад, марцепан и тд) Не важно что подарить - важно как подарить! Вспомните какую-либо легенду о Нарве и обыграйте.
7.  Посещение уроков и практики - обязательно! Проводить время с друзьями можно только если у вас свободное время, выходной. Всегда ведите себя прилично.

Багаж

Дома проверьте наличие всех документов и вещей первой необходимости.

В аэропорту:

Получите билеты и сдайте багаж.

•  Багаж 20 кг и 5 кг ручной клади (сюда входит и компьютер)
• Фотоаппарат и компьютер в багаж сдавать не стоит.
• В ручной клади нельзя возить жидкости ( в этом числе тушь для ресниц, лак для ногтей, тональный крем, блеск и так далее), колющие предметы (даже пинцеты!!!), лекарства (только в случае если у вас есть справка от врача, что вы без данного препарата не можете пройти на борт самолета)
• Все лишнее сдаете в обычный багаж (например, зарядка для телефона).
• Билеты на самолет и личные документы, деньги - держите при себе.
• в Англию нельзя ввозить даже в багаже молочные продукты, хлебо-булочные продукты, рыбные и мясные продукты. 
• В аэропорту питание дорогое, можете взять перекусить еще в автобусе. Перекусить можно также на вокзале. Цены более менее приемлемые

Оставьте жидкости (питьё) у входа на проверку.

Если вас попросят открыть на проверку ноутбук, снять ботинки, ремень - стоит просто это сделать - это обычная проверка.
После посадки на самолет НЕ НАДО выкидывать билеты или оставлять их в самолете - сдайте их Наталье Варкки.

Держитесь всегда вместе, это поможет избежать проблем.
