The interview: questions, salary, probation

📖 Lesson ──▶ 🎯 Quiz — pick the translation ──▶ ✅ Lesson done

The German interview is a polite interrogation: punctuality is sacred (10 minutes early), handshake, Sie-form until offered "du". Top questions: "Erzählen Sie von sich" (tell about yourself — prepare 2 minutes), "Warum wir?" (know the firm), "Gehaltsvorstellung?" (name a figure: ~10% above expectation, range 50–60k). Ask your own questions — "no questions" looks indifferent.

●Name salary first, but with a range and market reasoning
●Probation 3–6 months: they can fire easily, but so can you — 2 weeks
●Forbidden questions: pregnancy, religion, politics — you need not answer

🎤 "Danke für das Gespräch" is sent the same day. That is German courtesy, not grovelling — and it works.
