After that I lived in France for six months, before coming to Thomann. I applied for a French Hotline position because I wanted to use my French and to further explore a foreign language.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long have you been working for Thomann?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>4 years and 1 month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are you doing here exactly?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I work in the French hotline customer service. We help French-speaking customers with their questions about products and affairs regarding website orders such as delivery, payment and shipping. After 2.5 years in Hotline, I started working in Key Account Management as of June last year. This is a new and special service for customers with large orders. Generally it\u2019s always interesting to me as I speak to a variety of customers from Italy, France, Spain &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does music mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My father is a music teacher, and has brought me close to music since I was five years old. Music was therefore a constant and central point in my life. Music has always been a huge influence from the very beginning and has played an important role in my life in a variety of ways: listening to music and also playing or reading music. It is one thing I could never renounce and probably no one could. Playing an instrument is an emotional involvement and that is also the reason why I\u2019m here: to combine my passion for foreign languages together with music- which is the perfect combination for me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you tell me something about your career as a flute-player?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I started at the age of nine. I had private lessons for two years and also had access to the music school of the university near my hometown, where I finished my degree. After studying languages, I went to France where I gained musical experience in several orchestras. Meanwhile I also play another instrument, while continuing to keep in contact with music.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which bands did you listen to as a child and are now embarrassed to admit?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears and Nick Carter \u2013 but my taste in music has somewhat changed since then \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Listen to what else Cristina has to say in this\u00a0<strong>video<\/strong> \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-container brlbs-cmpnt-content-blocker brlbs-cmpnt-with-individual-styles\" data-borlabs-cookie-content-blocker-id=\"youtube-content-blocker\" data-borlabs-cookie-content=\"PGlmcmFtZSBzcmM9Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnlvdXR1YmUtbm9jb29raWUuY29tL2VtYmVkL0szY04wM0FaVHVzIiB3aWR0aD0iNjkxIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjM4OCIgZnJhbWVib3JkZXI9IjAiIGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbj0iYWxsb3dmdWxsc2NyZWVuIj48L2lmcmFtZT4=\">\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-preset-c brlbs-cmpnt-cb-youtube\">\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-thumbnail\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.thomann.de\/blog\/app\/uploads\/borlabs-cookie\/2\/brlbs-cb-youtube-main.png')\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-main\">\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-play-button\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-content\">\n<p class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-description\">You are currently viewing a placeholder content from <strong>YouTube<\/strong>.
