Pay attention to your body language during your job interview! Do you have more tips and ideas?🤔 . . . Tips and tricks for a successful virtual interview “Thank you for your application. We would be delighted to get to know you personally in a video interview soon.” Most invitations to attend an interview this year have said this or something similar. The Covid-19 pandemic still has the world on tenterhooks and has also changed application and recruitment processes forever: digital interviews are now the standard for us too. But what do you need to bear in mind for a virtual interview? How do you make a good impression? What should you absolutely avoid? I asked Charles-André, a recruiter specializing in IT positions. You can find all the answers here in the interview. In your role as a recruiter, every day you work with applicants, moderate interviews, and advise hiring managers on the best way to search for suitable candidates. To what extent has your job changed thanks to the coronavirus? Charles-André: "The coronavirus has changed my day-to-day work significantly: since March I’ve only been in contact with my colleagues through virtual means and while our interviews and assessments centers were largely held face-to-face before, these are all carried out entirely virtually now in the new normal. The recruiting team adapted ourselves to the new conditions extremely quickly and managed to digitize the entire recruitment process overnight." How does the application process at Deutsche Telekom work in the new normal and what is different when compared to face-to-face interviews? Charles-André: "The entire application process is now 100 percent virtual. In most cases the applicant is invited to a video interview after a short phone call. This has many advantages – digital interviews can be arranged and carried out more quickly since it is easier to coordinate the schedules of all those involved and requests and specific times can be better accounted for. In addition, a team member can easily join the recruiter and hiring manager to take part in the virtual interview. This is a great chance for the candidate to get to know their future colleagues straight away." What tips would you like to pass on to our applicants: what is the best way to prepare yourself for a virtual job interview? Charles-André: "First, my advice would be to treat a digital interview just as you would a face-to-face one: applicants should have a presence on the main business social media platforms (e.g., LinkedIn) so they can familiarize themselves with the interviewers and their CVs in advance – this can be a valuable point of connection for the interview. You should, of course, prepare yourself by reading up on things such as the Group, our corporate values, or topics which are currently of relevance to Deutsche Telekom. You can also find helpful information on the individual fields of activity and teams here; all important information concerning the position is included in the job posting. In addition, it is important to be aware of the experience you bring to the table, which interfaces are involved in the job, and try to remain true to yourself during the interview and not pretend to be someone else." What should you absolutely avoid during an online interview? Charles-André: "As a general rule: anything that could serve as a distraction should be removed from view! This means that your surroundings or the background that we can see should be clean and tidy. No posters, no vacation photos, no board games, no large plants. These all just distract from the candidate and their expertise. It is also more pleasant for all those taking part if the people who are not currently speaking mute themselves temporarily. This helps avoid loud breathing into the microphone, which can be very annoying. To finish, one more good tip which could make a huge difference: do not drink out of a water bottle during the interview – use a glass! This sounds like a minor thing but can make all the difference for your interviewers."

Learning from experts: Discover solutions by exchanging with experts As AI Lead, Hamed is currently working on an AI solution which can predict the future. For now, the customer is the top priority. Knowing customer’s next demand and interest helps us take the right actions. Originally from Iran, living and working in Germany for 14 years, he is now responsible for the work of several AI professionals, reviewing and mentoring different AI solutions and technologies. Self-driving cars, advanced web search engines or automated decision-making systems. Just a few features in AI applications we use almost every day. It is also part of your life. What do you like about working with AI? Hamed: I love making new discoveries from which I learn something original and new. It refreshes my mind. Last week we just learned about an AI technology that can identify pictures and write a text description about them. We tried it with Mona Lisa. AI describes it as an old painting with a smiling lady sitting in front of a landscape. It is fascinating. In a few years AI will be capable of so much more and the challenge is to manage it well. Who will be in the lead then, humans or AI? Hamed: As human beings we are in the driver’s seat. AI can crunch data and find patterns better than us, but it cannot enjoy the purpose of life, feel motivation, joy or love. That makes a huge difference. As AI professionals, we have an immense responsibility here and therefore also Telekom has defined AI guidelines. They describe how we at Deutsche Telekom want to deal with AI and how we will develop our AI-based products and services in the future. AI is a fascinating topic. What steps should I be taking to set off on a similar career path? Hamed: Go for a master’s degree or postgraduate studies in a field related to AI. If a formal education isn’t what you are looking for, take steps by online courses. Be careful about online YouTube videos that claim everything in AI is doable within 5 minutes! Upon some learning, search for jobs where you find a nice atmosphere, motivated and knowledgeable people around you. And last but not least, keep learning and stay up to date. Do trainings on a regular basis. When it comes to AI, there are some emerging topics like deep learning, natural language processing etc. Follow advanced trends and topics. How do you learn and grow? How has the company supported you in your career growth? Hamed: I’m part of the Talent Hub program, in which I receive personal career consulting. It is like having a buddy/mentor to discuss possible ways forward on how to upgrade my career. My consultant has some good ideas and solutions and just talking to her is like talking to a friend, a self-reflection with the support of a mentor. Other than that Telekom offers many opportunities for learning and self-development. Additionally, it is very fruitful to exchange knowledge with your colleagues. We have voluntary meetings where people can share ideas on technology topics. We chat, ask questions, and find solutions together. We also organize a series of talks on AI with external experts who can bring and present new topics. These exchanges are not only beneficial for the experts, but they are also vital for the future of the company and I’m happy to be a part of this process.
