What is the procedure of the job interview? Your interview partners will usually be the responsible line manager and a human resources representative. After introducing yourself, we like to take the opportunity to provide short insight into our company. To us it is important to find out together with you, if the job requirements and your expectations are matching. In order to be able to explain your motivation for your job application, you should already have reflected well about your former job experience as well as about the development objectives to which you aspire. You may bring work samples or depict available achievements. At the end of the interview, we will  discuss salary requirements. Of course you are welcome to ask questions at any time.

Is there a dress code? At Alltec/FOBA there are no regulations regarding general dress codes. What is compulsory are safety shoes in the manufacturing area or protective glasses in the laser technology areas! In the commercial departments we usually wear "business casual". For the job interview we recommend the traditional style: rather formal clothing which still feels comfortable.

Is there any etiquette to consider?
We appreciate cooperative and fair interaction between associates. Flat hierarchies enable direct and open communication. The German form of address "Du" is commonly used among all hierarchical levels. Of course, this does not (yet) apply in the job interview...

Do I need to speak multiple languages?
If and which languages are required will be mentioned in the job description. In many fields of activity at Alltec/FOBA, you need at least good skills in English, as we work with international colleagues and business partners.

What's the employment procedure like?

Employee onboarding is taken seriously in all departments, and there will always be supervisors or colleagues available for questions.

Can I apply for an employment abroad?
