1. German Language Only<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

You already passed your B1\/B2 German language certificate \u2013 congratulations! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>But can you speak communicatively in German? <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Many employers will decide to hire you based on how good your German understanding and speaking skills are. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Booking an online German language refresher session before joining the interview is a good idea to make you feel more confident. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>To book an interview preparation session with us please drop us a quick email to <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>info@mittelpunkt-personal.de<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Know Your (Future) Employer<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Before attending the interview, a little research about your employer goes a long way. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Google the company’s website and read it carefully. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Learning about the employer will help you feel more confident during the interview and will also help you decide what questions you may want to ask.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. WiFi, Computer Trouble, Camera & Microphone<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

When joining a video interview, it is crucial to have a stable internet connection. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>A camera and a headset are a must for a successful interview. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>We do not recommend joining using your mobile. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Before the interview, ask your recruitment agency or a friend to test the video and sound with you. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Be ready to join ten minutes before the planned start \u2013 if there is any slow-loading software on your computer, it will not affect your punctuality.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Be Present<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Job interviews can be stressful. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>During the interview, nothing is quite as important as being proactive. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Acknowledge the employer’s words by saying ‘yes’ or ‘mhm’ to let them know you are actively listening. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Ask for the question to be rephrased if you have trouble understanding it. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Try not to learn the responses by heart. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Speak in complete sentences. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>In our experience, the best replies are always the most genuine ones.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
