How to prepare for a job interview\">1. How to prepare for a job interview<\/h2>\n<p>Preparation is key. Find out who your <strong>interview partner<\/strong> is and what their position in the company is. You can use the company\u2019s website or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/en\/blog\/career-networks\/\">career networks<\/a> such as LinkedIn for your research. Furthermore, you should get to know the <strong>company\u2019s history and philosophy <\/strong>since that shows that you are well prepared.<\/p>\n<p>Challenging questions can easily put you off, but if you <strong>prepare<\/strong> them, it will be easier to answer complicated or surprising questions <strong>professionally<\/strong>. Here are some common questions to prepare:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What are your weaknesses?<\/li>\n<li>Why are you the right person for this job?<\/li>\n<li>How would your family\/friends describe you?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You should inform yourself about your rights before the interview. There are <strong>questions that are off limits<\/strong> (e.g. family plans, pregnancy, religion, sexual orientation\u2026). There are also requirements based on labour law regarding the duration, remuneration, etc. of a <strong>trial period<\/strong>. Inform yourself beforehand about the <strong>collective agreement<\/strong> and other specific features of that sector.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-67ddri-41246adb82eb20f9271331161b8c66cb hr-short  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  hr-left'><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-jy4ae4sq-31-5975c057afdbf31ea9d0c9dbe42e0470 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2 id=\"2.

Practice makes perfect!<\/h2>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t had the opportunity to gain any experience with job interviews, the uncertainty about the procedure and the situation will increase your nervousness. That\u2019s why we recommend <strong>practicing<\/strong> a job interview beforehand with friends or family members. You will get a feeling for the course of the interview. It\u2019s not about learning all the answers by heart or planning every detail of the situation. Be authentic and yourself! Here are more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/en\/blog\/how-to-apply-for-a-student-job\/\">tips for job applications for students<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>There are tons of <strong>videos<\/strong> with tips for job interviews or simulated interviews with HR managers online, for example <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KCm6JVtoRdo\">here<\/a>!

Creative sectors, start-ups or smaller businesses tend to be less formal than authorities, banks, big corporations or institutions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brands<\/strong>: Maybe also pay attention to the brand of your clothes.
