Hello, I would like to start studying biology at TU Darmstadt in the coming winter semester of 2025/26. I had actually planned to fly to Cuba to see my boyfriend after the application deadline (July 15). However, now I'm wondering, since I heard about it from my mathematics studies, whether you'll be invited for an…
I applied two weeks ago. This week, the ad was deactivated, but I haven't received an invitation to an interview. Apparently, my application is currently being reviewed. Are my chances of being invited slim?
Why and if so, how fast should one normally be?
To me, 30 minutes seems very short, as the applicant would also need time to ask their own questions. Therefore, I wonder if scheduling interviews for 30 minutes indicates that the company isn't actually interested in the applicant.
I did a trial last Wednesday at a small company (50 employees). I don't remember if they told me I had to get in touch or if they would get in touch. I only know that they gave me this week as a framework. Is it okay to call and ask a week after the…
I've noticed it from time to time, and even experienced it myself once, that applicants are suggested during interviews that they're not actually hired. This manifests itself, for example, in the company harping on "weaknesses" in their profile or offering obviously unnecessary reasons why the applicant is supposedly unsuitable.

Hello, I'm currently studying and, unfortunately, I'm rather dissatisfied. I'm therefore looking to apply for dual study programs and, in some cases, apprenticeships for 2025. Since I don't want to be left without anything, I want to continue my current studies until I've secured a place elsewhere. I also want to be able to consider…
Hello everyone, I am currently in a very difficult decision-making situation and hope for your help. I work in the security services industry and have been looking for a new challenge for five months after being laid off by my former employer. I've been in the application process at a company for almost three months,…
Hello everyone, I applied for an apprenticeship as a clerk for insurance and financial investments. Today was my interview at Allianz, and it lasted about 40 minutes. Honestly, I think I was rejected. The recruiter said I needed a driver's license because it was a field service position. I didn't know this information when I…
Hello, I think I applied for a position at Lidl about two weeks ago. So far, I haven't received a response, either by phone or email. I feel like I've been rejected. How long does it take for them to review the application documents?
