Job interview

If you've come this far, you've done well. But how can you best prepare for a Danish job interview, what questions might you meet, and what if you're nervous? And what can you do if a company applies personality profiles or assessment days?

Job interview

If you've come this far, you've done well. But how can you best prepare for a Danish job interview, what questions might you meet, and what if you're nervous? And what can you do if a company applies personality profiles or assessment days?

If you are invited to a job interview, you have earned it! So be proud and don't forget that the company can already picture you in the job.

Preparation and chemistry

Part of the job interview is about chemistry. That can be hard to influence. But there are other things you can prepare for. Lots of preparation is a great starting point for a good conversation - and perhaps it may also provide a little peace of mind.

The company needs to find a match - and so do you.
