Vorstellungsgespräch: prepare for the interview
Iranian applicants in Germany can prepare for a Vorstellungsgespräch by explaining relevant experience, practising a short introduction and preparing questions about the role. Check the interview format and technical or travel arrangements in the invitation.
Step by step
- Practise and check logisticsPrepare your introduction and examples, write down questions and check the invitation, route or video setup before the appointment.
Read your application and the vacancy again. Practise explaining the work you actually did in Iran or Germany, why it fits this role and why you want this employer. Use understandable descriptions for unfamiliar job titles. Prepare honest examples of strengths and learning needs rather than memorising claims you cannot support.
The conversation normally includes your background, motivation and the job's conditions. Prepare questions about duties, working hours and next steps. Telephone and video interviews need the same content preparation; for video, test the connection and microphone and choose an undisturbed place. Ask how and when the employer expects to continue the process.
