I applied online. I interviewed at Bulthaup (Aichach, Bavaria)
Interview
There was only one interview directly with the heads of the departments. The people were friendly and explained every bit of the job. It was a great experience they made sure I was comfortable and free to answer the questions. also many of my questions were answered too.
Dieses Vorstellungsgespräch war sehr unprofessional. Ich war ein bisschen confused, warum ich überhaupt da war. Ich wurde nicht über meine Erfahrungen gefragt, oder mit welche Designprogramme ich gearbeitet habe. Ich hatte das Gefühl, dass die Dame nur jemanden sucht die 24/7 im Showroom sitzt und hübsch aussieht.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bulthaup in May 2009
Interview
I contacted the manager at the suggestion of a mutual industry acquaintance. I had one interview with the manager which was very relaxed and positive. I then had another interview that included the corporate manager over lunch. This interview was less relaxed and more intense but still quite positive. I later realized that the interviews matched those people's personalities and was lucky to be working directly with the more relaxed of the two.
