CV

Your CV should immediately show us why you are the ideal appointment for AIXTRON. Make sure it is structured logically. Previous roles that are relevant to the requirements for your desired position should be described in greater detail, while information on less relevant roles should be kept brief.

Streamlined process for high school and university students

 

 

Are you a pupil or student? Then there is usually only one interview waiting for you - sometimes two in exceptional cases. Otherwise, the application process is similar, but a little faster. We look forward to meeting you.

Telephone or Teams

The first contact

Your documents look promising and your application has grabbed our attention. Now it’s time for us to talk to you. A telephone call or Teams video call lasting between 15 and 30 minutes will give you and us the opportunity to gain a first impression of each other, our expectations and the general conditions. If both parties still have a good feeling, we will agree on a date and time for the next step.

Face-to-face interview

We want to get to know you!

A face-to-face interview lasting between 60 and 90 minutes is the ideal way for us to get to know you better. We will invite you to our headquarters in Herzogenrath. You will talk to your future manager and the Human Resources department about your experience, your skills, and what it is you find so interesting about AIXTRON. Do you have questions, too? This is a good opportunity to ask them. We will be happy to tell you what you need to know about your job, your future team and AIXTRON.

Optional: A third interview

Get to know your working environment

Depending on the position, we will invite you to a third interview to answer any remaining questions and ensure that our expectations are aligned. This often also includes colleagues from related departments. Are we in agreement? Then it’s time to sign on the dotted line.

The crowning glory

The contract offer

Once everyone has had their questions answered and the conditions and your start date have been agreed, it’s time for the contract offer. As soon as the ink is dry, we will have the pleasure of saying: “Welcome to AIXTRON!”

How to prepare

Whether you are a student or an established professional, whether you are applying for an internship or a managerial position – our tips apply to every level of experience. Make sure you prepare well. Learn as much as you can about AIXTRON and the department and position for which you are applying. 

 

Be prepared to list your strengths and discuss the successes you have achieved. Show us exactly why you are the ideal candidate for the job. And don’t be afraid to ask questions.
