Preparing for a worker interview: practical checklist

A simple checklist workers can use before speaking with a recruiter or project manager.

Written by Evroproces d.o.o.

Key takeaways

  • Candidates should share specific examples of past projects, tools, and materials to build trust.
  • Applicants must clearly state which certificates, licences, and safety cards they currently hold.
  • Workers need to clarify their travel availability, language skills, and housing requirements.
  • Candidates should ask about pay schedules, working hours, accommodation, and safety inductions.
01

Prepare your work story

Be ready to explain the projects you have done, materials you know, tools you use, and the tasks you prefer. Specific examples build trust.

02

Bring document answers

Know which certificates, licences, safety cards, and ID documents you already have. Say clearly if something is expired or missing.

03

Clarify practical limits

Tell the recruiter when you can travel, which countries suit you, what languages you speak, and whether accommodation or transport is essential.

04

Ask your own questions

A good interview goes both ways. Ask about pay rhythm, working hours, housing, safety induction, tools, and the contact person during the placement.

What licences and documentation should a staffing partner have? A Slovenia-to-Germany checklist

Before you sign a framework agreement with a cross-border staffing partner, ask for evidence you can check at an official source, not a PDF that only the agency has seen. For a Slovenian provider sending crews to Germany, the evidence file has five parts: proof the company exists; its Slovenian worker-supply licence entry, or a written legal reason why the activity falls outside that licence; a German AÜG Erlaubnis, or a written reason why the arrangement is not employee lending; a ZZZS A1 certificate for every named worker; and the German posting notification, or a written statement of why the sector does not require one. Which items are mandatory changes with the legal structure, so the first step is to classify the arrangement. This guide is published by Evroproces, a Slovenian workforce solutions agency founded in Maribor in 2014. Statements about Evroproces are the company's stated model; legal obligations are traced to the statute or official register that creates them. It is general guidance, not legal advice for your contract.
