  1. Head of HR

    Translation

    Good afternoon, nice to have you here! Your cover letter convinced us. What work experience do you have?

  2. Otti

    Translation

    I worked in a bakery for two years. I'd like to highlight that I'm resilient and reliable - even at five in the morning.

  3. Head of HR

    Translation

    Good. And what is your greatest strength - and your greatest weakness?

  4. Otti

    Translation

    I'm a team player and very motivated. My weakness? To be honest, I like to sleep in. That's why I have three alarm clocks.

  5. Head of HR

    Translation

    At least that's honest. In your area of responsibility, a lot of enquiries would have to be answered every day. That's a real challenge.

  6. Otti

    Translation

    I'm sure I can handle that. I'd have one more question: how long is the probation period, and who will train me?

  7. Head of HR

    Translation

    Six months. In the first few weeks an experienced colleague will train you.

  8. Otti

    Das klingt gut. Wann darf ich mit einer Antwort der Personalabteilung rechnen?

    Translation

    That sounds good. When can I expect an answer from the HR department?

  9. Head of HR

    Translation

    By Friday. We got over a hundred applications for our job ad, but your CV caught our eye straight away.

  10. Otti

    Translation

    Thank you very much! I'd be glad to have you as my employer. And don't worry: I'm punctual - thanks to the three alarm clocks.
