Richtig bewerben: Wie bereite ich mich auf das Vorstellungsgespräch vor?

In addition to the written application documents, the oral part, the job interview, is also part of the correct application process.

Here too, preparation is half the battle. You should consider the following points:

• Punctuality: Clarify the time required for the journey well in advance. If you are traveling by car, find out the route and clarify where you can park. If you are traveling by public transport, find out which train you need to take and how long it will take you to get from the station to the company headquarters. You may also need to take the bus or streetcar from the station.
• Outfit: Choose suitable clothes for the position. Make sure you look well-groomed: not too much make-up, hair brushed (for men: beard shaved or combed), fingernails well-groomed.
• Company: Find out more about the company, its activities and commitment.
• Questions: Prepare questions about the company, position or task. This will show that you have thought about it, which will earn you points.
• Answers: Think in advance about what questions may be asked and how you would like to answer them.
• Salary: Find out about the usual salaries in the industry and position and calculate your salary in advance. This way, you won't get flustered if you have any questions about your salary and will be able to make or justify your demands with confidence. Remember: salary negotiations also need to be practiced!
