Summary of Job Interview Skills in German Companies

? Germans have always been famous for punctuality, preciseness and reliability, so it is natural to follow these three points when applying for a job in a German company. So what skills do you need to master when interviewing German enterprises, which will add points to your interview? ? ? ? 1. What are the main points of interviewing German companies? 1, don't be late: punctuality is the most popular code of conduct in almost all western countries, and strict Germans pay more attention to it. ? 2. Take your time: If it is too formal, it will make people feel unnatural and have a sense of compulsion. I'd rather confess than be too polite. ? 3, straightforward: When meeting, the Germans hope that the other party will directly explain their intentions and cut to the chase immediately, instead of being too polite there. Germans are used to each other clearly stating their intentions without euphemism. If you want to express your wishes as clearly as possible during the interview, including salary requirements, it is definitely not impolite. On the contrary, the other party will appreciate it. ? 4, pay attention to appearance: formal dress is a permanent choice for interviews, especially for German companies with rigorous interviews. Boys' suits and girls' professional clothes show respect for others. Don't forget to try on clothes in front of the mirror two days in advance. ? 5. Outstanding experience: Although most German enterprises like to recruit fresh graduates with no professional background, they hope that new people will look like them. A blank sheet of paper? . However, many German companies are also very concerned about what college students do after studying. Having training experience or off-campus work experience can increase employment opportunities. ? 6. First impression: German companies attach great importance to the mental outlook of candidates and interviewers when recruiting, especially the first impression left by German interviewers often determines whether foreign students can get a favorable position in the whole interview process, so depressed and unhappy expressions should never appear on interviewers. Only kindness and easygoing is a powerful weapon for an interview. ? 7. Make a good impression: In an interview organized by a German company, it is likely that the interviewer's expression is cold or in a bad mood. At that time, this should not be a reason for foreign students to express their negative emotions. On the contrary, at this time, foreign students should greet each other kindly, thank each other for giving them the opportunity to interview, shake hands and evaluate each other in a friendly way, so as to win each other's goodwill. ? 8. Get what you want: Germans are a very pragmatic race, so it is best not to repeat the contents of your resume. During the interview, foreign students should try to observe the interviewer's expression and actions and find out some detailed statements that he is interested in, but generally speaking, foreign students should not talk for more than three minutes at a time, especially the self-introduction should be short and vivid. ? 9. Avoid the important: German interviewers often ask foreign students directly, such as? What are your strengths and weaknesses? For this kind of questions, when answering similar questions, foreign students had better choose those shortcomings that are actually advantages. For example, they tend to be too involved in their work and like to finish their work on the same day, thus putting more pressure on themselves. When foreign students talk about their own advantages, they should emphasize their professional skills and show that they will obtain the qualifications required by the other party in the recruitment as soon as possible. ? 10, wise answer: German interviewers sometimes ask provocative questions, most of which are offensive. It is not a wise response for international students to refute each other or simply remain silent at this time. Instead, they should be rational and not argue with the interviewer. ? Second, the necessary qualities to integrate into Germany's top capital? 1. Understand German culture and German thought. This may require a little background in studying abroad. But personality factors are also very important, so you must be outgoing. It is inevitable that we can understand each other only through communication. ? 2. Both English and German should be fluent, and there is no obstacle to communication. If Germans want to trust you and think you are qualified for this position, then this involves trust. The relationship is still important, but it will not be too exposed, and there will be a degree. ? 3. The professional level is very high, and the competition is definitely fierce. If you don't have the ability, you won't make much progress even if you enter a big institution. ? 3. What are the five essential things for German enterprises to apply for jobs? Higher education will be respected. Germans attach great importance to education and experience. Generally speaking, doctors and professors will be in awe. But after a long time, they also understand the disadvantages of China's education, and they are not as irrational as before when recruiting people. ? Not only prestigious schools have opportunities, but German bosses are not clear about other schools except a few prestigious schools when recruiting people. Therefore, China employees will be invited to do the screening work, so there are graduates from any school in the company. As long as you have the ability, work experience and meet the requirements, you are welcome to work in German enterprises. ? The team spirit of German companies is different from that of Japanese and Koreans who pay attention to work enthusiasm and work hard overtime. Their team spirit is another meaning. They are more inclined to cross-departmental communication, need to be backed by interpersonal relationships in their work, and like to establish some personal friendships. For example, Chinese and German employees hold activities, drink and get together to learn about each other's culture. This is the team consciousness that Europeans prefer. ? Women are easy to enter management. Germans respect women and think that men should strive for the world through strength, and they demand more from men. If women are excellent in their work and business, they can easily enter the management. On the other hand, because women are naturally good at communication, they can quickly open the situation, while men are mostly taciturn and lack communication. Communication is the most important thing. German enterprises mostly do industrial consumer goods, and both ends of the supply chain are often women. Men are mostly intermediate links such as internal management and pure technology. For example, the purchasing departments are all girls, who are good at bargaining with suppliers, and there are many trivial things that only women can patiently do. After a long period of precipitation, these departments have become the world of female colleagues. ? Do your best to do your own thing. The position of a German enterprise is a position, and every position is doomed. Each post is classified and refined to the extent of how much work is needed. The work has actually been stated, which is equivalent to a contract. Those who go beyond the scope can refuse to do it, and those who fail to perform their responsibilities may be demoted or punished. This may not be as vague as the work of our state-owned enterprises, and sometimes we do some private things.
