I interviewed at ECHA (Helsinki, Southern Finland)
Interview
Sono stato contattato via mail per un'intervista dalla durata di 30 minuti volta principalmente a conoscere le motivazioni della mia candidatura. Sono partito con una breve presentazione delle mie esperienze per poi passare alla descrizione delle mie aspettative.
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at ECHA (Köln) in Jul 2023
Interview
Das Team, das mich interviewt hat, hat sich ganz kurz vorgestellt und dann wurden mir insgesamt ca. 10 Fragen gestellt, unter anderem Fragen zu EU Chemicals Law, zu verschiedenen Situationen und wie ich reagieren würde und zur Arbeit bei ECHA per se. Die Fragen wurden sehr schnell hintereinander gestellt und man hatte wenig Zeit zum nachdenken.
