4 tips for preparation
Tips for your job interview at Lely
Get to know Lely and the function
Prepare for the interview! Learn about the company & the position. Read the job posting carefully and write down in advance some questions you want to ask.
Think about your appearance
Arrive at your first interview in a three-piece suit? Not necessary! Lely is a family business with an informal working environment. Put on whatever you feel comfortable in and make sure you look presentable. Do you have an online interview? Be sure to create a quiet environment and test the audio upfront.
What is your strength?
At Lely, we think it's important that you enjoy going to work! Make clear what you like and what your strengths are. During the interviews we will find out whether this matches with the job. Or not, of course. Perhaps there is another position that suits you even better. Together we look at the possibilities.
Have fun
Last but not least, have fun with your interview!

We have many open vacancies. Referring a candidate by our own colleagues is the most effective, qualitative, and fast way of recruitment.
