The Interview

Learn what to expect in an interview in your target country, such as possible questions, appropriate and inappropriate comments, how to best present yourself and other details. Below is a brief excerpt from this section:  

A one-on-one interview is typical in Spain; panel interviews are less frequent. The interview usually takes place in a meeting room or the recruiter’s office. Depending on the position level and characteristics, the company might schedule more than one interview. Often, a second interview, immediately following the first, could include the hiring manager and HR personnel.

When interviewing at a small organization, a startup or in the creative sector, it’s not uncommon to meet with the employer at a café or local bar. In these cases, even if the location might seem more informal or casual, you should still remain professional and be as prepared as you would be in a more formal setting.

When the job description requires knowledge of one or more foreign languages, you might be asked to continue the interview in that language.

Common interview questions include: 

  • What do you think about working remotely from home?

  • Can you describe one of your most stressful professional experiences, and what did you learn from it?...

This is just a brief sample of the extensive information in the GoinGlobal Spain Career Guide, which is carefully researched and regularly updated by local career experts.
