How do I prepare for a job interview?

Five essential research steps according to the structured interview framework (OPM, Q018): (1) Company website, product/service, current press releases. (2) LinkedIn profiles of your interviewers — what have they published recently? (3) Glassdoor/kununu — how does the interview process work? (4) BA Entgeltatlas and salary reports for the salary question. (5) Re-read the job advert carefully — what 3 core problems should the role solve? Then: Prepare 5-7 STAR stories (Situation-Task-Action-Result) from your career. ISO 10667 demonstrates: Candidates who prepare in a structured way show more valid performance profiles in interviews and are assessed more fairly. Final preparation: Formulate 2-3 questions of your own — candidates without questions are rated significantly lower in studies.
