Interview
The company seems to be running "ghost job" advertisements. I applied for the Order Processing Assistant role multiple times over a 5-month period. Each time, I received a rejection within one week stating: "However, we have realized that there are currently candidates who fit our requirements even better."
Despite this official claim that they found "better candidates," the exact same position remains active and is constantly refreshed on company website and other job boards. It is highly misleading to claim a position is filled (or near-filled) while simultaneously hunting for new applicants. Waste of time for serious job seekers.
I applied online. I interviewed at DELO Industrial Adhesives (Windach) in Oct 2025
Interview
Ich hatte ein Vorstellungsgespräch – das erste und zugleich auch das letzte dieser Art. Trotz meiner 32 Jahre wurde ich ausführlich dazu befragt, warum ich mich damals für die Ausbildung XY entschieden habe. Es wurde sogar auf meine Realschulnoten eingegangen. Zudem wurde ich sehr detailliert geprüft, was ich über das Unternehmen Delo weiß.
Das Gespräch wirkte insgesamt wie ein Bewerbungsprozess von vor 20 Jahren.
Erst ganz am Ende wurde erwähnt, dass ausschließlich befristete Verträge angeboten werden.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Werdegang, Warum ich damals die Ausbildung xy begonnen habe,
First round was with the HR person in HQ, then second round with another HR, onsite, and the local team, it was an extremely daunting and stressful experience as they really dig your personal profile and ask you tons of questions pertaining to your past that doesn't relate to your ability to do the job. I have informed the HR from HQ right from the start I don't have experience in hiring blue collar workers but I am willing to learn, however this seemed to be very important to the local team, hence both sides are not aligned. The whole interview felt like an interrogation! I definitely dodged a bullet here as I have since found a much better job.
