Belgium - preparing for the interview

Preparing for the interview

If the employer is interested in your profile, one or more interviews might be arranged, as well as assessments and skill and psycholog­ical testing.

Prepare well by researching the company, reflecting on why you want to work for this employer and in this sector, and practising answers to questions in another language.

An interview can be seen as a form of nego­tiation, rather than as a question and answer session. For the employer, your attitude, asser­tiveness, politeness and the way you present yourself are crucial. You will be a representa­tive for the company and you have to fit in with the team.

How early should I arrive for the interview?

Always be punctual. Try to arrive 5 minutes early. If you expect to arrive late, due to traffic, train delays, etc., let the employer know. Be sure to have a contact number with you when travelling to the interview.
