What can you expect when you apply for a position at Genmab? We follow these steps.
1. Initial phone screen If your application best fits the job requirements and expectations for the role you seek, a member of our Talent Acquisition team will invite you to a call with a TA manager to discuss your qualifications, obtain more details about you, and answer any questions you may have.
2. Phone interview with a hiring manager All resumes/CVs of candidates selected by the TA manager for further process will be shared with the hiring manager, who will then provide feedback to the TA manager on the submitted candidates and selection for initial interview.
3. Formal interview A member of our Talent Acquisition team will coordinate the scheduling of your interviews with the hiring manager and others. In most cases, three individual or group interviews are sufficient to determine if a candidate is fit for the job. Candidates who move from first-round interviews may be asked to complete an online assessment, which will be reviewed during the second-round interviews. An interview schedule is provided to all candidates prior to their interviews.
4. Next steps determined After formal interviews have taken place, Genmab will contact you about the status of your application and related next steps, which vary based upon the position and location. You may also check the status of your application by creating or logging into your profile.

We understand it can be stressful preparing for an interview. Fear not. Here are a few tips to help you feel confident when you speak with us.
Prepare for a situational interview. What’s a situational interview? Genmab will present you with hypothetical scenarios relevant to the job you’re applying for. That’s because we want to know how you would handle these situations. To prepare for this, reflect on your past experiences and how they align with potential challenges in the new role. Think about instances where you demonstrated problem-solving, adaptability, and teamwork. The goal? Illustrate not only your competence but also how your unique approach aligns with Genmab’s ethos of being extra[not]ordinary®.
Make sure to ask questions. Remember, an interview is a two-way street. It’s a conversation. While Genmab assesses your fit for the role, you should also evaluate if Genmab is the right extra[not]ordinary® for you. Prepare a list of questions about our company culture, team dynamics, and the specifics of the role. By inquiring about our approach to talent development and employee value propositions, you’ll gain insight into how we value our team members. This is crucial for making an informed decision about your future with Genmab.
Understand the 70/30 rule of job requirements. Be realistic and practical. When you consider a new position, aim for a role where you already possess around 70% of the required skills and knowledge—leaving 30% room for growth and development. Before the interview, clearly identify and understand which aspects of the job fall into these categories. Then you can articulate how well equipped you are for a significant portion of the role and eager to grow in other areas—and demonstrate your competence and commitment to professional development, aligning with Genmab’s values of nurturing extra[not]ordinary® talent.
We look forward to getting to know each other—as people and as colleagues. So, be confident. Be prepared. Above all, be yourself.
Resume-writing Tips
Here are some suggestions for optimizing your resume so your application makes it through the technology to the humans making the hiring decision.
Focus on accomplishments. This is your opportunity to shine. Showcase your achievements, rather than listing every job you’ve ever had. Spend less time describing your past roles and more time describing your results. Remember accomplishments you’ve made outside of work and include relevant, transferable experiences and skills you developed beyond the workplace.
Match skills to your desired job. Look closely at the job posting. Mirror the language, skills, and experience you described there. That helps ensure your resume makes it through the applicant tracking system. You might consider including sections focused on key skills and bullets. Prioritize relevant keywords. Leave out past jobs or experiences that aren’t related.
Use a clean, simple, and scannable format. A chronological resume generally works well for conveying your experience, although sometimes including sections broken down by skills might help. Make sure that your sections are bold and clear, and that your bullet points are concise. Your contact information should be prominent. Consider listing a URL to your LinkedIn profile.
