Job application tips
How can you prepare best for the job interview? In the interview, you will be asked why you want to work for Deltares.
- Think about why the job description appeals to you.
- Take a moment to look up your interviewer(s) on LinkedIn and check out the Deltares website to learn more. Or get in touch with a Deltares employee (if you happen to know someone already) to pick up information.
- Read the job advertisement again carefully. It describes the professional knowledge and competences that are important for the position. It is highly likely that, during the interview, you will be asked about those competences.
- Of course, the interview is also an important moment for you to learn more about Deltares. Questions you ask about the position, working at Deltares, the team etc. can help you form a more complete picture. That is why we advise you to take the opportunity during the interview to ask your questions.
Perhaps the most important tip of all is to be yourself! We wish you every success at the interview.
Good onboarding for a flying start
We want every new colleague to make a flying start! We are convinced our new colleagues should get the best out of their work, feel happy about what they do, and work here for long periods with a sense of commitment and enjoyment. The onboarding period is a part of this flying start. It includes an induction programme, mentoring, a general introduction day and intervision.
