Tips for your interview

We know that an interview can make somebody nervous. But don't be worried, we would like to get to know you first and foremost as a person – and introduce ourselves to you: our company, our central theme “Technology for life” and the area of responsibility in which you can freely display your talents. Our most important suggestion to you is: Don't change yourself to fit an image; just be yourself. And one request: Prepare yourself thoroughly at home. You can thereby present yourself exactly as you want to, and receive answers to all the questions that are important to you.

Reflect on the following questions at home:

  • What were important milestones in my résumé? What could Dräger ask me about this?
  • What do I expect from the position I have applied for? What experience can I bring to this position?
  • Why would I like to change jobs? What is it about the open position at Dräger that appeals to me?
  • What are my strengths? In what area would I like to excel myself?
  • What questions do I have about my new position, new tasks, teammates and the Dräger company?

Here's how the interview process works at Dräger:

Of course, not every interview proceeds identically. This depends on you and the questions you ask. Nevertheless, a pattern has emerged based on our experience.

  • At the beginning, we introduce your interview partner and their function so that you know who you are talking with.
  • Then it's your turn: Tell us about yourself: about important milestones in your résumé and previous experiences. Why did you decide on a particular vocational training or employer? What did you learn there?
  • Then it's your turn: Tell us about yourself: about important milestones in your résumé and previous experiences. Why did you decide on a particular vocational training or employer? What did you learn there?
  • Of course, we also want to know why you decided to apply to Dräger. What about the new job interests you? Why do you think you are particularly well-suited for this position? What do you expect from your future job?
  • We then ask you to tell us about particular challenges that you have mastered in the past. How would you react at Dräger in a particular situation? What ideas do you bring to certain technical questions? We may conduct a role play with you in order to determine how you would act in a specific situation.
  • If that goes well, you will receive some detailed information about your future position, area of responsibility and the Dräger company.
  • After that, you have time for targeted questions, for example, on your development opportunities at Dräger.
  • At the end of the interview, you discuss the next steps with your interview partners and arrange a time to discuss the results of the interview.
