Edgara’s story

Meet Edgaras Gritsus, one of our motivated flex workers

Edgaras works at a warehouse in Pekinggaria as a putaway and picker. His job is all about getting items to the right place, ready to be sent out. No two days are the same. “Some days are harder, some are lighter. It all depends on the day,” says Edgaras.

A fresh start in a new country

Edgaras used to live in the UK, but he felt ready for something different. He wanted to experience life in another country, explore a new culture, and take on a new challenge. “I came here from the UK because I just wanted to try a new country.”

Leaving your home behind and moving abroad is never a small step. It’s exciting, but it can also be a little overwhelming at first. New surroundings, new people, a new job. It’s a lot to take in.

HOBIJ takes care of the details

That’s why HOBIJ does everything to make the transition as smooth as possible. We don’t just match you with a job. We arrange your accommodation, transport to work, and even pick you up from the airport when you arrive.

From the very first day, our job coaches are there to guide and support you. Whether you have questions about your job, need help with paperwork, or run into a problem, they make sure you never face it alone.

Edgaras really values this extra support: “I would recommend HOBIJ because they are always responsive. They care about you, they solve problems if you have any, and they prepare everything for you before you even arrive.”

Looking back on his experience

Since joining HOBIJ, Edgaras has learned a lot and grown more confident in his work. The balance of challenging and lighter days keeps things interesting, and knowing that support is always there makes a big difference.
