Job Interview Basics Test for Americans in Germany


Percentage of correct responses: 0 %

1 / 9

When entering the meeting room where the interview takes place, I...
shake the interviewing manager's hand, with a man, and wait, with a woman, if she extends her hand
enter the room with 'Guten Tag, ich bin Herr / Frau - enter your LAST name here - und wer sind Sie?', because Germans are very formal
wait until the manager extends his hand, if he's male and I am female, or kiss her hand, if I am male and she's female, without my lips actually touching her hand
