Czech Republic Job Interview

Be prepared for two to four job interviews with various people, although panel interviews are less common.

Punctuality is essential, so arrive at least 10 minutes before a job interview. Prepare yourself - find out information about the company you want to work for.

It is customary to present a business card, letters of reference, photocopies of diplomas and photos at the initial job interview. An extra CV can be handy too. You will never get a second chance to make a first impression!

If no one is available to introduce you, shake each person's hand and introduce yourself. During introduction use Dr., Magister, engineer or Mr/Mrs/Miss and surname. Do not sit until invited.

Czech interviewers pay most attention to the personality of the candidate.

Prepare for all kinds of questions about your personal and professional goals for the near future and about your achievements in the past. Answer them as fully as you can, avoiding yes and no answers.

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

When listening to Czech talking in English, it is very important to nod showing that you are listen and understand the speaker.

Assessment Centres and psychological tests are sometimes used by the large multinational firms.
