How do you prepare for the interview?

Those who are well prepared rarely have a reason to be nervous. Do some research on the program we offer, and the company as a whole. Take notes and write down any questions you have – we’ll be more than happy to answer them.

Think about what we’ll ask. This is the best chance we’ll have to find out more about you, so try to think about what you want us to know. Whether it’s why you want to train with us, what your strengths and weaknesses are, or even how the person closest to you would describe you. You don’t have to overthink this, but the better prepared you are, the more you’ll stand out.

A few tips from us

Greeting your interview partner by name and making eye contact is a great way to make a good first impression. Keep in mind that there are no right or wrong answers. All you have to do is be yourself (and switching your phone off always helps, too). And, don’t forget to ask questions. It lets us know that you’re interested.
