Interview
Nach kurzer Zeit wurde ich telefonisch zu einem Telefoninterview eingeladen, welches eine Woche später stattfand. Das Gespräch selbst war in Ordnung, wobei der Fokus klar darauf lag, was einen zu einer Bewerbung gerade in diesem Unternehmen bewogen hat und es wurden detaillierte Kenntnisse über das Unternehmen abgefragt. Teilweise wurden auch Fragen über Firmeninterna gestellt, die man nicht beantworten konnte, da diese trotz intensiver Recherche nicht auffindbar waren. Die Absage kam ein paar Tage später per Mail. Ich hatte ihnen wohl nicht genug Honig um den Mund geschmiert.
