The aim of our interviews is of course to personally get to know each other. If you are applying for an internship, a working student job or a final thesis, the interview will only take place with the respective department. Here, based on an interview guide specially tailored to the position as well as biography-oriented and by using small case descriptions, we check whether you fit to us and the position. During the conversation, we of course also give you space to ask us all your open questions and, if necessary, discuss framework conditions such as possible entry dates and the like. The goal is that at the end of the conversation we all have enough information to make a decision.

For our entry-level and supporting programmes, the interview is traditionally held as part of a selection day.

The interview can take place on-site, by phone or via Teams, depending on where you live and how difficult it would be to get there. We actually have more and more virtual conversations for the sake of the environment.

Please note: Unfortunately, no reimbursement of costs can be made. If an on-site interview would incur costs for you, please let us know in advance so that we can find an alternative together.

If you apply for our trainee programme (AcceleratiON), a telephone interview is an integral part of the application process. For other types of entry, we only conduct telephone interviews as an option or as a substitute for a personal interview.

Depending on the type of entry and/ or programme, various instruments await you in the selection process, such as (telephone) interview, online test and/ or assessment centre. If you are applying for an internship, a final thesis or a working student job, the selection is made directly in the respective department. Neither an assessment centre nor an online test await you here.

However, they are usually an integral part of our entry-level and support programmes. On the respective subpages of our programmes you will find further information on the individual framework conditions and selection processes.
