- Is there a specific deadline for submitting my application, or can I submit it at any time?
We open applications twice a year – super exciting, right? 🎉 Due to the huge amount of CVs we receive daily we are only able to accept CVs during the time the role is open. The deadline will be clearly advertised on our website, but to make sure you are the first one to know when the next submission opens up, we totally recommend following us on LinkedIn.
- What should I expect from the interview process?
The interview process is actually quite straightforward. We know that being interviewed is stressful so we will not make you go through a 15 step interview process! First, we'll have a casual chat to get to know each other. Then, we'll meet for a technical interview. Finally, you'll have a chance to chat with one of our directors in a laid-back setting. We want to make sure you feel comfortable throughout the process! ☕🛋️
- Do I need to prepare for an exercise as part of the application process?
No, you don’t need to prepare anything beforehand. The recruiter will prepare you before the interview and will let you know exactly what you can expect. Little tips: - Just breathe and be yourself. - Never hesitate to share your thoughts and ask your questions.
