At Triple A Solutions, we conduct around 100 first interviews every month. You name it, our Talent & Happiness Team has seen it: from conspiracy theories to candidates with bare feet. Fortunately, the vast majority of introductions go well. Our recruiters share a few tips from their daily practice that they consider important during an interview. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Applying from your sofa<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

The past two years have brought many new challenges. For instance, many job interviews now take place digitally. This means you can stay right on your sofa during the video call if you want to. Naturally, that’s a much more relaxed setting than visiting a potential employer’s office. It seems like job interviews are becoming less formal\u2014but is that really the case? <\/p>\n\n

An equal dialogue<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Job interviews are certainly no longer the stiff affairs they once were. They are now seen more as a dialogue where two equal parties want to find out if they want to work together. A bit like a first date. This allows for the occasional joke or some off-topic<\/em> conversation. At Triple A Solutions, we primarily want to get to know you as a person through this dialogue: What drives you, what do you expect, and where do you want to go? <\/p>\n\n

Be yourself!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

It’s best to just show who you really are during such a conversation. After all, that’s the quickest way to find out if we’re a good match! Perhaps that’s exactly why it sometimes seems difficult in practice to find the right attitude; especially in this new post-COVID environment, where the lines between personal and professional often blur. <\/p>\n\n

Our own Talent & Happiness Team is therefore sharing some suggestions based on their daily conversations with candidates. These are real-life<\/em> tips! <\/p>\n\n
