Application tips

Tips for a successful application

1. Be prepared

We have taken the time to study your dossier and would appreciate it if you could take the time to find out more about localsearch. We offer several ways for you to learn more about our culture, our solutions and our history. Use our website and follow us on Facebook and LinkedIn. If you are given preparatory tasks for certain positions, it is important that you read up and prepare accordingly. Punctuality is as much a part of preparation as dressing correctly and maintaining a neat appearance.

2. Ask questions

During preparation, you will no doubt encounter points that are not entirely clear to you. Ask us these questions during the interview. Whether it’s about the job, the working environment or the terms of employment, we will be happy to answer your questions. Because we would also like to introduce ourselves to you for the best possible future work together. The interview is a way of getting to know each other.

3. Be yourself

We wish to get to know you in the course of the interview. So don’t play a role – be authentic and answer the questions as you see fit. Be focused and open, and dare a smile – interviews can be enjoyable too. Most of all, come with the intention of learning something new and of joining us on a shared mission. A good attitude is what we love.

If you’re nervous, no problem – that’s part of it. You can be who you are and we’re looking forward to meeting you.

4. Get to the point

Think in advance about what you would like to say. Keep your answers brief and concise, and get to the heart of what’s important to you.
