"Hartz and warm": Sandra is looking for a job - and gets the chance for an interview
Sandra and her family can be seen regularly in the RTLZWEI social documentary from Rostock.
At just 37, the unemployed woman is already the mother of five children and grandmother of two grandchildren*.
Going to the school bus is on the daily agenda – after that her free time begins because she doesn't go to work.
But that should change now!
Despite being tired and taking care of the children, Sandra would like to introduce herself to a potential employer.
The employment office suggested a job opportunity that she now wants to seize.

"Hartz and warm" in Rostock: Unemployed for 20 years - Sandra is looking for a job
Sandra is nervous: the mother of five children has been unemployed for 20 years and hopes to finally be able to gain a foothold in a job again.
She can well imagine working as a kitchen hand, but there is a problem: without an allergy pass, she cannot pursue her dream job.
In addition, the mother of five has another criterion when looking for a job: the job must be compatible with childcare.
The number of hours of 20 hours per week would be ideal for the 37-year-old - so nothing stands in the way of going to the job interview.
"Hartz and cordial": That's how Sandra beats herself at the job interview
Sandra had her first child when she was 17 and has been unemployed ever since.
With no professional training and no work experience, things are anything but easy for the 37-year-old on the job market.
With the chance of the job center, she could still be able to land a job.
On the way to the interview, Sandra reveals: "I'm always a bit nervous, when do you ever have an interview like that?!" "Hartz and cordial".
"Hartz and warm" from Groß Klein: Severe setback - Sandra gets a rejection
She would like to improve the family budget a little and "earn a few euros", Sandra continues in the 39th episode.
The additional income of around 150 euros a month would be more than welcome, since husband Tino is also unemployed.
Bitter disappointment for Sandra: The 37-year-old is rejected for the position in the household sector.
But the mother of five wants to be strong for her family and not let it discourage her: "I won't let it pull me down," reveals Sandra on the TV show.
