Many candidates carefully read the job description but spend little time learning about the company behind the vacancy.
Before your interview, take some time to find out:
- What types of ships or maritime projects does the company work on?
- Which markets do they operate in?
- Which engineering disciplines, technologies or software do they use?
- What developments or innovations are currently shaping the organisation?
By asking thoughtful questions about ongoing projects, future plans or the company's ambitions, you demonstrate genuine interest and show that you've made a conscious decision to apply.
