Application Tips

Make clear why this role fits you. Use the motivation field to explain honestly, specifically, and with focus.
Show impact, not just tasks: what have you achieved, improved, or solved?
International experience is a plus – whether exchange programs, internships abroad, or English-language projects.
Remember, besides expertise, teamwork, initiative, and curiosity matter too.

Interview Tips

Focus on substance, not buzzwords. Share concrete examples of your strengths and how you work.
Learn about our values, brands, and purpose – and what they mean for your role.
Be authentic – we look for personalities, not perfect pitches.
And don’t forget to ask questions! A good conversation is not a one-way street.
