Preparing for the interview

The recruiter will focus on experience, motivation and interpersonal social skills. Psychological, intelligence, aptitude and psycho­metric tests are widely used, especially for jobs requiring a high level of education.

Candidates should: prepare a list of their achievements; have an understanding of what the employer does in significant detail; speak about competences and practical experience gained through work elsewhere; identify a real­istic working ambition; and be able to commu­nicate the above mentioned ideas clearly and effectively.

Candidates should prepare for questions about their medium- and long-term career aims. Having a clear plan about your own self-de­velopment is key. Some Slovenian recruiters also expect you to say what your pay expec­tations are.
