11. FAQs

12. Got questions about INKOMPASS or how to apply for the paid internship?
We're here to answer them all
Why does INKOMPASS offer a 2-cycle approach?
INKOMPASS offers a 2-cycle approach because it is an experiential job
interview, giving you a better chance to showcase your skills and abilities and
giving us a better chance to get to know you.
Across the two cycles, you will work on projects that will allow you to
discover our business challenges, opportunities, processes and systems.
The 1st cycle will give you the opportunity to discover several aspects of our
company (e.g. operations, people and culture) through projects that allow
you to interact with people from different areas.
The 2nd cycle will give you the opportunity to experience a deep dive into a
specific department or functional area.

13. What happens if I don’t want to commit myself to participate in
the 2nd cycle?
We strive to ensure you have a great 1st cycle experience so that you
eagerly look forward to get selected for the 2nd cycle.
However, in case you do not want to continue, there is no obligation for
you to do so.

deliverables, based on which you will be assessed. We believe that both
WHAT you achieve / deliver and HOW you do so is important. This is why
