"Quality and reliability are very important to me."

As you may have read here in the blog in recent weeks, our colleagues in Sibiu manage the entire manager area. They support our interim professionals from accreditation to placement in the mandate. Christina Stanca makes a valuable contribution to ensuring that all these processes run smoothly. She lived in Germany for five years and gained professional experience there. Now she ensures that the skills and profiles of our interim managers are always complete and up-to-date. In this interview, she talks about what she particularly likes about her job and why the big, wide world is her real goal.

Dear Christina, please briefly introduce yourself and your job.

Christina Stanca: I'm Christina Stanca. I am 26 years old and successfully completed my studies in Cultural Management, Marketing and Theater Studies at the beginning of July 2025. I have been part of the FITS management team for more than five years. The "Sibu International Theater Festival" takes place every year in June in Sibiu. We organize the event and, among other things, I look after the participating artists, check the theaters for their suitability and ensure that internal communication runs smoothly.

I have also been working as an assistant at JobNexxt Services since October 2023. Before that, I lived and worked in Germany for five years. When I left Romania back then, I was just 18 years old. I actually only wanted to stay for a year. But then I actually spent five years in Nuremberg and Fürth. I finally came back to my home country because I wanted to continue my studies. When my cousin told me quite by chance that my current colleague Ada Tanase was looking for German-speaking employees for JobNexxt Services, I thought: "Why not? Let's go!" I simply had to seize this opportunity. I am very curious and adventurous. And I like learning new things, teaching myself and finding solutions on my own. It feels great to be able to pass on my knowledge to my colleagues today.

How do you support our interim managers with your work?

CS: I accompany new interim professionals during onboarding and take care of everything to do with their profiles and skills. To do this, I research information that is sometimes missing from CVs. If I can't find what I'm looking for, I contact the managers. I want the profiles to be as informative and up-to-date as possible. Another important task is that I prepare the information from the CVs so that they can be found in Matchmaker in the best possible way. After all, a search engine is useless if it doesn't deliver any hits. That's why it's always important for me to contribute to improvements. Quality is very important to me. I have high standards for the quality of my work and attach great importance to reliability. I think we as the team in Sibiu are very reliable and competent contacts.

What do you particularly like about your tasks?

CS: I particularly like the variety and the appreciation I receive from the interim professionals. I process around 50 to 60 CVs per month. Every CV is different. I find the individual careers of the managers particularly exciting. Some have taken the straight path. Others reached their goal via detours. Tracking this can be very inspiring. I am delighted when I talk to interim managers and receive information that I can use to enrich their profiles for Matchmaker. I also always welcome feedback by e-mail. I enjoy going to work every day - partly because of the exciting stories and the people I get to work with. And I really like my colleagues. We are a great team. We have different personalities, each of us ticks differently. Working together is very pleasant and exciting at the same time. We all get on well in our private lives too. You could say we're a kind of work family.

A private chat: What do you definitely want to experience before you retire at some point?

CS: I'm not thinking that far into the future at the moment. I'm glad that I've now got my degree in the bag. 2025 is the year I travel and meet new people. My plan for 2026 is to get my motorcycle license. I want to explore the whole world on my bike. I'll be working remotely, of course, because I'll have my laptop with me. I'm really looking forward to that!

Dear Christina, thank you very much for the interview and the private insights you gave us!
