Luxembourgian Job Interview

 

The number of job interviews largely depends on the hiring company, the position and use of tests or Assessment Centres.

Punctuality is very important to Luxembourgers. Arrive at least 10 minutes before the job interview. Prepare yourself - find out information about the company you want to work for. You will never get a second chance to make a first impression!

Usually the job interview starts with introductions, handshakes with everyone present and the exchange of business cards. Use professional titles or Mr., Mrs., or Miss with the last name when addressing someone and maintain eye contact.

Do not sit until invited. Talk effectively demonstrating your knowledge of the industry and/or the company, do not interrupt the interviewer and criticize former employers.

Prepare for all kinds of questions about yourself and your qualifications. Answer them as fully as you can, avoiding yes and no answers. Also expect that your language skills will be tested during an interview.

Ask questions about the job, the lines of authority and your future responsibilities, but avoid raising the issue of salary or benefits early in the process.

Luxembourgian Job Interview Dress Code

It is important to demonstrate at the job interview good appearance as well as good manners.

The Luxembourgers dress well at all times. Men wear suits and ties. Women wear dresses or pants.
