Moin, I’m Charleen, and I worked as a working student in the Marketing and Corporate Communication department at HPC for seven months in 2023. During that time, I had the opportunity to gain deep insights into the field.

Rooted in the Harbor: My Connection to Hamburg's Port
Born and raised in what was once a small fishing village in Hamburg, I’ve always been surrounded by the harbor and the bustling business it brings. With such strong daily ties to the port, it’s no surprise that HPC naturally caught my attention.

In-Depth Exposure to the Field
My initial goal was to explore various aspects of marketing, and that’s exactly what I achieved within our small, dynamic team. The diversity of tasks helped me develop a well-rounded understanding of marketing practices in a real-world business setting.

Varied and Meaningful Responsibilities
My responsibilities included writing LinkedIn posts, managing content on the company’s website, and participating in event planning, such as trade fairs. I especially valued the opportunity to take on a wide range of tasks that were not only interesting but also made a tangible impact on the company. It was rewarding to be entrusted with projects that contributed directly to key initiatives.

Learning from the Expertise of Others
Another highlight of my experience was the close collaboration with the team. The guidance and advice I received were invaluable, contributing to both my professional and personal growth. I look back fondly on my time at HPC and am grateful for the insights and experiences I gained.
