Here it is a matter of personally confirming the good written impression one has already made. It starts with the outward appearance: depending on how you dress, you are perceived differently. If one applies for a position in the office, one appears more credible in a job interview in business attire than if one appears in a smart suit for a job interview for a job as a landscape gardener.
The interview begins with small talk, the polite exchange of uncritical topics such as travel, the weather, etc.
Then it is all about getting to know each other. On the one hand, the company wants to know: has one prepared oneself well for the interview and does one know about the company and its special features and services? On the other hand, it’s about getting to know the applicant – both professionally and personally: so you can prepare yourself to be asked about stages in your own CV. These could be questions about professional experience in similar areas, or about training stations, other experience, language skills, social commitment, etc. What are your strengths or weaknesses? How do you deal with conflicts? How do you deal with stress?
The company expects you to be interested in getting to know them yourself: when asked “Do you have any questions for us? Such questions can be written down in a small booklet, which you can bring to the interview.
