Interview in Germany (IT/ServiceNow) – my German is not great, what should I expect?

Hey everyone,

I have an interview soon for a ServiceNow Consultant role in Germany 🤩🤩(Deloitte), and I’m a bit unsure about my German level.🥲💀

I speak English well, but my German is still not strong. I think I’m around A2/B1. I’ve been learning every day (doing Nico’s Weg B1 right now) and I practice speaking daily, but my grammar is still messy and I make mistakes.

I can explain simple things and have basic conversations, but I’m definitely not fluent.

So I wanted to ask:

  • Is it realistic to get hired in Germany for this kind of IT consulting role with this level of German?
  • In real projects, how much German do you actually use vs English?
  • In interviews, do they expect you to speak correctly, or is it more about understanding and trying?

Also if you were in my position, what would you focus on in the next 1–2 weeks before the interview?

I’m really motivated to improve and move to Germany, just trying to understand where I stand.

Thanks 🙂
