Preparing for an interview

At the interview, the company checks what is written in your CV and gets to know you. One hour of preparation makes a big difference.

Before the interview

1. Read the job ad once more and write down what the company is looking for.
2. Look at what the company does and where it operates.
3. For each item in the ad, prepare one example from your own work.
4. Prepare two to three questions for the company: about the job, the team and the working hours.
5. Check the time and place of the interview and how to get there.

Questions that are often asked

• Tell us something about yourself.
• Why are you applying for this job?
• Describe a situation that was difficult for you and how you resolved it.
• When can you start?

At the interview itself

• Arrive a few minutes early.
• Answer briefly and with examples.
• If you do not know something, say so and explain how you would learn it.
• At the end, ask when you can expect an answer.
