Job interviews are always scary. After all, they exist so that potential employers can judge you and your fitness for a role – and most of us don’t like being judged.

A lot of work goes into making the right impression. Researching the company, practicing answers to standard interview questions, even thinking about what to wear are all important parts of interview prep.

If you’ve just moved to Czechia, being interviewed can be even more daunting. While there are plenty of jobs for non-Czech speakers out there, uncertainties around different cultural expectations add another layer of complication.

Mastering your Czech job interview isn’t as hard as you might think, but you should be aware of certain expectations to keep you on the right path.
