During Corona times, the rules of the game for job interviews also change.
There are a few things to consider, especially when meeting in person.
Despite Corona and the associated economic crisis, many employees now want to change jobs *.
In order to minimize the risk of infection with Covid-19, many job interviews are now held via video calls.
If the interview should still take place on site, there are a few rules to be observed.
Corona: on-site interview - with or without a mask?
Even in lockdown, interviews can still take place on site, as long as this is not explicitly prohibited.
The respective federal state determines the regulation for this.
However, those who appear for a personal job interview should refrain from shaking
hands with their interlocutor
.
In times of Corona, the job interview also says:
Put your mask on!
It is best to use an FFP2 mask, because this not only protects others, but also the applicant himself from possible infection with SARS-CoV-2.
Applicants should only remove the mouth and nose protection when requested to do so and a corresponding safety distance of at least 1.5 meters is guaranteed.
