Copying is more important than studying: as a duplicator you have a diverse job

What is the first job that comes to mind when it comes to doing "an interesting, varied and demanding job" in which you can "help shape important areas of life in the city of Berlin"?
N / A?
Doorman in Berghain?
BER airport manager?
Ruling mayor?
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
This description can be found in the current job advertisement of a Neukölln school that is looking for a full-time »duplicator (m / f / d)«.
That sounds like a very diverse area of responsibility.
Almost even better than influencers, because you first dream for a long time of becoming a real multiplier, here you get right at the top.
In the school service it looks a little, well, more technical: You copy certificates and other stuff.
And is responsible for "overhead projectors, DVD players and multimedia trolleys", which unfortunately has far less to do with mobile lighting effects, music and drinks than a student would wish for from a really cool multimedia trolley.
After all, the job offers a real challenge: you not only have to be able to operate photocopiers, but also risographs (and no, your divine risotto is not in demand here). The technique of risography as a reproduction method has been around since the 1980s, everything else has to be done on site, you can do that - because your competitors are guaranteed not to know much more about it than you do. And until the school is technically as digitally set up as your desk at home, you will still have a lot, a lot of time to deal with risography. Or to learn cuneiform.
Perhaps there are still matrix printers in your new area of activity;
In any case, the job advertisement vaguely mentions "other devices available in the repro station".
That gives hope, because the older of us wistfully remember the good old days when the whole class was sniffing over the freshly printed purple worksheets.
We had nothing else.
Speaking of nothing else: You will be paid according to salary group E3 TV-L.
Without professional experience, you will get around 2400 euros gross, with three years of work experience (whatever that means in the area of duplication) to almost 2700 euros.
