So I never thought Roland Berger will contact me for an interview. The personality interview went well but the specific questions (including Case-study) went bad because I did have difficulties to understand the meaning of the words. Can I still re-apply in a few months? (And I will work on my German)

Hi Anonym A,
of course you can apply again later. However, I wouldn't put everything on one card and proceed normally with your applications at the other companies.
It is important to make sure that you do not have the same problem again at these companies. Did you ask if you could do your interviews in English? Some companies offer this.
Best regards
Marco Alexander

Hi,
I agree with Vlad here. You would require time to reapply (~12 months) and it is not always straightforward to improve the language capabilities in a short time frame (even within ~12 months).
If language is the main issue, then you may want to consider applying to companies outside Germany/Austria.
Regards,
Deniz
Hi,
First of all - you can't reapply earlier than in 1 year.
Secondly - I doubt that you can improve your German in a couple of months
I would take the time, work somewhere else and reapply later.
Best!
