- You should also prepare by selecting the companies which interest you, carrying out research into them, preparing the questions you wish to ask and anticipating the questions they are likely to ask you
During the day(s):
Participating onsite?
-
Our advice is that you set the whole of November 7th aside in order to take advantage of the information and advice on offer
-
l Although the ideal approach is for you to apply for jobs before the day itself, you should always carry a few printed CVs in English or German - they may be useful when approaching the Exhibitors
-
When approaching the company stands, it is vital that you create the best possible impression. This involves demonstrating a firm grasp of spoken German or English and a positive and assertive attitude. You should also be able to display proven knowledge of the companies in question and their current main projects. Attention to detail of this kind will make all the difference when it comes to creating the maximum positive impact
-
Make sure you arrive on time for any pre-scheduled interview
Participating online?
