When is my application complete?
Since we want to keep your application process fast and uncomplicated, we only need your personal data and your current CV in the first step. You are welcome to provide additional documents as an option. If necessary, we will request certificates or other documents from you later. This way, there's no hurdle in you joining the #bestteam.
What happens after my application has been sent?
You will receive an automatic confirmation of receipt by e-mail. We review your documents and coordinate with the responsible persons in the relevant department. As soon as a decision has been made, we will contact you and discuss the next steps together.
What does an interview look like?
Flexibility is our top priority: whether by phone, online via Microsoft Teams, on-site at a place of your choice or even over a coffee during your lunch break. Meet us however you feel comfortable. You'll meet your future manager at the interview, as well as representatives from your new team and HR. If you wish, we can also arrange team interviews so that you can get a holistic impression of the new department.
After introductions, you will have the opportunity to talk about yourself and your career so far. You will also have the opportunity to explain your motivation for the job and ask questions.
Depending on the position and the need for a discussion, there may also be a second interview - even initiated by you.
In which language is the conversation conducted?
We usually speak German, but we can also switch to English - because English is an important part of our daily communication. If you feel more confident in English, it is also possible to conduct the entire interview in English.
Dress code?
It is important to us that you feel comfortable and that the relaxed atmosphere is not disturbed by "dressing up".
What happens after the interview(s)?
You will receive feedback on how to proceed within one week. If we decided in your favor, you will receive a digital contract offer for approval, and the original as soon as all open questions have been clarified.
Can I reapply after a rejection?
If it didn't work out, it only means that you weren't the perfect fit at that time or for that position. You are welcome to reapply at any time and you may even find a more suitable position in the #bestteam at Intershop.
Can I withdraw my application?
This is of course a pity, but possible. Just write an email to karriere@intershop.de .
How do I have my application documents deleted?
After completion of the application process, your data will be automatically deleted after 6 months. If you wish an earlier deletion, please contact us via karriere@intershop.de .
