I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Emma
Interview
In the recruitment process I had 3 interviews. First in French (because I was applying for the French service), then the second all in English and the third in French. No traps, very pleasant and relaxed. It was very quick and I was able to position myself easily.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
question of motivation, questions of logic, questions about my positioning in my former job
- "of these sentences, which one fits you the most and why?"
- "what would your plans be if you were taken for this position?"
The job interview took two hours. First part with someone from the human ressources department. It was quite a nice talk since the lady took a lot of time to get to know you, your personality and your soft skills. The second part was an interview with the head of the respective department. From the first moment I felt uncomfortable. For an whole hour my intention and motivation for this job was doubted even though I tried to explain I'd like to gain experience and contribute to that comapany. The focus always laid on my weaknesses and my lack of experience in this area rather than my strenghts. My interview partner conveyed the feeling that he wasn't interested in my personality and readiness to learn but only in my qualification which is a contrast to the first part of the interview.

Explain your CV. What are your strengths/weaknesses? Tell me a situation when you had a good idea but couldn't convince your workmates. How would you describe team work? Why did you choose this department and not another? Why didn't you do an internship earlier? ...
