Does this work suit you?

Sample job to try out. The employer is made up; the check and the results are real. Nothing is saved and nobody gets your answers – you see the result straight after sending.

Musterbetrieb Kälte- und Klimatechnik · Sample job

Servicetechniker/in Kältetechnik

Describe in about 8 minutes how you work. Then you see point by point where this job suits you – and where it is different from how you want to work. You get no grade and no ranking.

What the employer entered themselves – such as the job title or their own requirements – is shown here as they wrote it: in German. The employer sees your comparison in German, calculated in the same way – and does not find out which language you used for the check.

4How you most like to work

This is about preferences, not skills. There are no right or wrong answers – answer the way you most like to work, not the way you think an employer would like.

I would rather work independently than follow clear instructions.

I prefer changing tasks to fixed, repeated routines.

I would rather work closely in a team than alone.

I prefer physical work to sitting for long periods.

I would rather be outdoors and on the move than at one fixed workplace.

I would rather work fast with fixed deadlines than calmly without time pressure.

I prefer a lot of direct contact with people – customers, patients, residents or clients – to little contact.

I would rather take responsibility for others – guiding them, assigning work – than only for my own work.

I prefer to work accurately and keep careful records, even if it takes longer.

I find new technology and new ways of working more exciting than annoying.

I prefer a day when I often have to change my plans to a day that goes to plan.

I would rather work through many short jobs or assignments than stay on one thing for a long time.

I would rather bring in my own improvements than work by proven procedures.

5Two everyday situations

One or two sentences or keywords are enough. Nice wording does not matter: the answers are not rated; they are something to talk about at a first meeting.

The employer sees your answers exactly as you write them. If you can, answer in German – otherwise in your own language.

For a real job, you decide on your results page, after the comparison, whether the employer may see it. For the sample job, this step does not apply – nothing is saved.
