    Tips & Tricks to Nail Your Interviews!

    mail

    Skip cover letters!

    Since we want to keep everything fast and easy for you, we don’t want you to waste time on a cover letter – we would rather take a look at your CV and if it’s a match, we directly invite you to a chat.

    Check your equipment

    Test your internet connection, camera, mic, and speakers beforehand. Time for each interview is limited, and we’d like to spend as much of it as possible on getting to know each other. If the interview is online, always have your camera on! It’s way easier to create a meaningful interaction if we also see each other.
    manage_search

    Do some research!

    We will give you all the information about the role & company’s culture, but it’s always nice to see how you perceive us after doing some online detective work 😉

    Prepare an elevator pitch

    We will certainly ask you to briefly summarize your work experiences in a short overview. Think of what you’re going to say beforehand so you can fit all of the essential information in 2-3 minutes. Keep the goal of the interview in mind, and make sure everything you say is relevant to the position you’re applying for.
    fact_check

    Structure your answers

    Be specific, but don´t get caught up in details – following the STAR method can help you: Situation (set the scene and give the necessary details of your example), Task (describe what your responsibility was in that situation), Action (explain exactly what steps you took to address it), Result (share what outcomes your actions achieved).

    Let your personality shine

    It is a recruiting process, but this doesn’t mean you can’t loosen up and showcase your personality. We are looking for an authentic character and we are open to having some small talk or a funny joke thrown into the mix. This might even show us that you’re a good cultural fit. Remember, we like to have fun!
    live_help

    Be prepared with questions

    At the end of the interview, we will ask you whether you have any questions for us. Use this time to get answers to all your questions or clear out any curiosities. Always have two or three questions prepared, whether about the position specifically or about career development, upcoming projects, or organizational culture.

    Don’t be afraid of rescheduling

    Even if you’ve already scheduled an interview, urgent things might pop up in your schedule or you might not feel fit to attend the interview. We are all human & we treat these situations with empathy. It´s better to reschedule rather than not be 100% up to attend the interview. Simply communicate the change with your TA Manager and we will find a common solution.

    What if I want to relocate together with my family?

    No problem! Our visa and relocation support does also include your partner or kids. (Please be aware that legal marriage is often times a requirement to obtain a partner-visa).

    Can I work remotely?

    If you prefer 100% remote companies, applike is not the right place for you because we strongly believe in face-to-face collaboration. However, we did implement a hybrid working model where we are in the office at least three days a week (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday) and can work remotely the remaining two days. Additionally, you get three whole weeks per year to work fully remotely if you want.

    What does hybrid working and flexible working hours mean?

    Our hybrid working approach involves being in the office at least three days a week (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday) and the option to work remotely the remaining two days. Flexible working hours mean that we work Monday-Friday, but do not have fixed working hours. Just make sure to adapt to the rhythm of your team.

    Where is your main-office located?

    The headquarters of the applike group and all its subsidiaries are located in Hamburg, Germany. We do have offices in the US and APAC.

    What is so great about your office?

    Well next to the fact that you are able to see and collaborate with your colleagues face-to-face, we have a super modern office that leave no wishes open: from Drinks & Snack, areas to work away from your desk to a fully equiped gym.

    Can I really bring my dog to the office?

    Yes, you can!

    Couldn’t find the perfect job offer?

    Nevermind! We are always interested to get in touch with new talents.
