I am fairly new to Cegal, so it is difficult to answer, but I imagine that everyday life will consist of varied tasks that I will solve together with good and pleasant colleagues.

The plan is that I will work mostly with Azure. For me, starting in this position consisted of a six-week course called Microsoft University and here I took two certificates, they are called AZ-104 Azure Administrator Associate and AZ-305 Azure Solutions Architect Expert.
Cegal is a Microsoft Gold Cloud Partner, read more about it here >
Now at the start it will be my curiosity and eagerness to learn that drives me to work! My new colleagues provide a lot of knowledge, experience and humour, which also helps to keep me motivated😊 With a little more time in the office and when I've settled into good routines, I want to achieve good results together with the team and know the feeling of mastery is what drives me at work and in my role.
So far, the best thing about working at Cegal has been the trust they gave me in connection with starting the job! It was an unexpected kick-start to working life to be able to travel for six weeks on a course and take such relevant and sought-after certificates, make new contacts and just generally grow even more as a person. It was fun and educational.
The practical arrangement and trust I received when I was sent to Microsoft University was an incredibly nice and warm welcome. I really felt that Cegal wanted to invest in me and my knowledge😊
Microsoft University (MSU) is an educational program that provides training and certifications in Microsoft's services and products, and is a collaboration between Microsoft, Glasspaper and Microsoft's partners and customers. Among these partners and customers is Cegal, and we have bought two study places. The program consists of a six-week intensive course with seven different specializations, and for me who took Azure Cloud Platform, my training consisted mostly of how to build cloud environments in Azure.
At the end of the course, I am left with only good memories and friends I have become very fond of. Our class environment became very safe and good, and we cheered each other on through the six weeks of the course and certifications. Now, when we are spread out among our various employers, we know several people with the same interests as ourselves and who are in the same industry.
In the last year, I have used TikTok quite a bit. I think it's light entertainment with animal videos, but also tips for travelling, cooking and training.
The quote below is by Newton and always the first thing that comes to mind when I hear quotes.
If I have looked a bit further than others, I have done so by standing on the shoulders of giants.

During Covid I discovered an unexpected interest in knitting. At home in my collective and the group of friends in general, it has become a very popular hobby.
Spending time outdoors is important to me. Then it's a good fit that I live in Bergen, with such good outdoor life available. The city sometimes requires you to adapt to the rainy weather, but regardless of the weather, eating biscuits on top of the mountain has its charm 😉
In general, I have a great interest in travelling. It's fun to experience different culture, food, wine, museums, wildlife and nature. I have had some very nice vacations to Florida, sometimes combined with a cruise in the Caribbean. My last good travel memory was a cooking class in Florence.
