“The Recruiting Days in Berlin were an in-credibly helpful series of events. Companies were extremely interested in getting to know the students and even called some of us beforehand in order to arrange personal in-terviews. Many contacted us several months later to find out if we were still interested in working for them. As a result, I can recom-mend the careers fair to anyone who wants to make an impression and get in contact with potential future employers!”

“The Recruiting Days are a unique possibili-ty to establish direct contact with the most renowned companies from various industries. The interviews are an especially unique step-ping stone for job offers and internships. The contacts which are established this way are often of incredible value for every student.”

HOW TO BENEFIT FROM CAREER NETWORKS

As the World’s First Business School (est. 1819), ESCP Europe has a huge network of companies and alumni to which students both benefit from and contribute to. We spoke to Michaela Wieandt, a Careers Advisor at the Berlin campus, about getting the most from internships and successful networking.

Michaela, what does the ESCP Europe careers service offer to students?

The careers teams at all five of our campuses have close relationships with recruiters and companies. In Berlin, we have an excellent partner network with recruiters.

How does ‘placement’ work?

I first get to know each student on a personal level either through my training and information sessions, or through one-to-one meetings during careers service hours, email or Skype conversations. Once we have established what a student’s individual career goals are, we work together on job applica-tions, perfecting their CV, and preparing for interviews.

Do you have any agreements with recruiters?

We have various arrangements with our partner companies. With some we have agreed to forward interesting CVs or set up contacts to candidates; others prefer if students use their online platforms. Sometimes it’s good to apply online and then to let me know so I can pass this information on to the recruiters with whom we have a relationship.

And after having initiated the recruitment process?

In a lot of cases, I advise students throughout the recruitment process, coaching them for their interviews or assessment cen-tre days. It’s important to keep me informed along the way – if the process seems to stop, I can follow up with the recruiters.

What should students be careful about?

Network ties are easily destroyed and difficult to repair – every student should have in mind that he/she represents not only his/herself, but ESCP Europe, too. They should be reliable, react quickly, and write thank you emails to follow up after phone calls. Does this happen often?

No – usually things work well as students are aware of how important these relationships are and act accordingly. When we all work together, both the students and the companies see the benefit of the service the careers service offers.

THE BENEFITS OF A WORLDWIDE NETWORK AND A PROFESSIONAL ORGANISATION

Every graduate from ESCP Europe is part of a network established almost 150 years ago. Founded to support one other, the Association represents anyone who has studied with us or one of the institutions which has merged with us. In 2014, we are proud to have 45,000 ESCP Europe alumni.

The main objective of the organisation is to maintain the links between its members and to support them at every stage of their careers. The Association has professional staff based at the Paris, London and Berlin campuses, divided into two specialisations: networking and careers. Networking is facili-tated through regular meetings, lunches, keynote speeches, and the official elections and board meetings; members of

the Association also benefit from diverse career opportunities offered through the network.

Based in Berlin, Florian Hornig is the regional representative of the Association for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and works closely alongside Michaela Wieandt. Together, they of-fer a service to support you both during your studies through Linking Talents Germany and far beyond.

Once you join the Association, you will be given initial networ-king advice and help getting in touch with senior alumni. One-to-one coaching sessions are offered to help you establish your strengths, and how to make a personal pitch based upon the approach of individual companies. This specialised AC training may be as important to you as personal interview training, and as such the Association has built a strong network of local coaches.

Career workshops are also an option, sharing tips on how to find your first job, motivation-based leadership, communicati-on, and influence without authority to name just a few.

For more information please visit www.escpeuropealumni.org. We hope to see you soon at one of our events!

ESTABLISHING STRONG TIES

There are various options when building a network. One unique opportunity is the ESCP Europe Regatta, an annual, high-level sailing event organised by fellow students. Linking Talents Germany uses the Regatta to strengthen existing network ties and establish new ones with students, alumni and company partners.

Over time, the ESCP Europe Regatta has become THE student event of the year – a must for every ESCP Europe student, with more than 60 boats and around 650 participants in 2014. It offers the perfect setting for students, alumni and company partners to meet – and to exchange and brainstorm new ideas – in a relaxed atmosphere. This is the perfect setting for students to discover companies they would never have otherwise taken into account.

One of the Regatta’s highlights is the Linking Talents Germany game with students and company partners. Of course, the focus of this event is the development and assessment of stu-dents’ skills; but even more important is having fun and building a team together. The winners are awarded amazing prizes, which in 2014 were provided by Procter & Gamble and Otis.

After taking part in the Linking Talents Germany game, Ge-neration Y students agreed that the Regatta is an incredibly valuable way of networking with recruiters and companies in a relaxed and informal atmosphere.

If you are a company wishing to take part in our 2015 event, please contact Seda Aritürk, one of the Linking Talents Germany representatives at the Berlin campus for more information ([email protected]).

www.escpeurope.de/regatta

“For mfi/Unibail-Rodamco, the Regatta was a great success. We met very interesting stu-dents, alumni and corporate partners during the business games and networking events.”

Stephan Anpalagan, HR Manager International Recruiting mfi/ Unibail-Rodamco

“I really appreciated the European encoun-ter at this event. It’s not often I meet such friendly, helpful and open-minded people, and I had many enthusiastic conversations about interests, career opportunities and values. The team spirit, will to succeed, and competition I experienced there perfectly fit Otis’ company culture as part of the UTC corporation.

The ESCP Europe Regatta was an inspiring and enriching experience and strengthened our cooperation with the School.”

Jochen Flarup, Director Learning & Development Otis Germany

“The Regatta offers the unique opportunity to meet interesting talents in an adventuresome environment, characterised by team work and competition. I attracted many interesting people’s attention to P&G.“

Jakub Mika, Global Metro Makro Team Finance Procter & Gamble

THE DOS & DON‘TS

Do ...... Analyse yourself: What do you want in your work life? What would be interesting areas to work in or subjects/pro-ducts to work with? How about company structure and size? Large companies often have hierarchies and formal structures, small companies don’t. What are your specific strengths and weaknesses? What are the skills and competences you want to develop while working? Knowing all this will help you to

offer companies a focused and interesting profile and will help you to sell your CV.

... Have a plan & Be informed: An important point of rese-arch is to read company career and homepages in advance. Beiersdorf says “It is important to show real interest; to inform yourself about the company and entry positions on the company webpage, and to apply for an interview at the fair.”

Peek & Cloppenburg, a famous German fashion retailer, re-commends asking questions that help you to gain “an authen-tic image of the company as it is important to see whether the company fits you.” They also recommend research the company and its career options.

For the banking sector, it is important to look at the web pages but also to look beyond: study comments in financial media and research.

UniCredit suggests being proactive: “Pose critical questions, define your target company and find out about career oppor-tunities in advance in order to ask the right questions.”

MAKING THE MOST OF CAREER EVENTS16

Page 17: ESCP Europe Linking Talents: A Recruitment Guide

... Be focused: Have specific questions ready and use your research to ask the employers informed questions. Show that you are focused and have prepa-red for the event.

For example:

· I noticed that you are opening offices in Dubai. Are there any graduate programmes there?

· What do they look for in employees applying for positions in [department/ division/etc.]?

· I read on your website that you need x for x role. Is there anything I can highlight in my CV to demonstrate this?

· Did you have the opportunity to work on the latest deal I read about?

Companies will have various repre-sentatives at the events, from recent graduates to HR and senior managers. Think of relevant questions for the appropriate person.

... Follow up: If you are given a busi-ness card be sure to follow up with a polite email the next day. Do not ask for their help to push forward your CV. Simply thank them for the conver-sation and perhaps ask a clarifying question.

... Make use of the networking opportunities career fairs offer: Do not dismiss companies just because you think they are not for you on first glance. Research them a little further and be sure you know what oppor-tunities they offer – there’s always a chance you’ll discover something new and exciting!

... Be authentic: A lot of companies, especially industry, media and start-ups, want you to be authentic and to discover whether you as a person fit into the company. Personal talk is therefore key for them. For example, mfi Immobilien/Unibail Rodamco wants to know why you are interested in their com-pany. Otis gives an important tip: “Be as flexible as possible, since it might happen that you get an interview straight away.”

... Stand out: Société Générale summarises:

How to stand out among other applicants? Our bank’s values, which are professionalism, innovation and team spirit, should be highlighted throughout your education and your experiences.

Professionalism: Provide a good CV and application form. Show your knowledge of the company’s activities and available career opportunities.

Team spirit: Give examples of how you inspire team spirit in others. Tell us how you have worked with other people to achieve a shared goal.

Underline your innovation and risk awareness: Describe how innovative thinking plays a part in your decision-making. Show us that you can challenge conventional ideas to solve problems.

MAKING THE MOST OF CAREER EVENTS

“We’re interested in what is important for you and what ex-pectations you have towards

your employer. What do you like about the Nivea brand and why you want to work with Beiersdorf? What kind of experience do you have from your internships? In what area you want to work in and how is you career plan? In talking to students, we want to find out whether we fit together and what the next steps could be.”

Beiersdorf

MAKING THE MOST OF CAREER EVENTS

Don‘t ...... Be too general: Being too general is for most companies a sign of bad or insufficient preparation. Therefore, do not ask questions that you can find the answers to on their website. Avoid very vague questions e.g. “So could you tell me about your company?” You should already know this before you engage with them on a professional level, and asking obvious questions shows a lack of preparation and real interest.

You may be interested in an internship first in order to get a feel for a certain industry. It’s fine to discuss this option with the companies, but approaching them with zero knowledge of the field or company creates a bad impression.

… Be unprofessional: Although questions about the work/life balance and salary are perfectly valid, if you ask them to potential employers too early they can appear to be your main motivation for the role. They want to see you are motivated for the profession and company first.

Do not interrupt other students when they are asking ques-tions, even when it is very crowded. Wait patiently and listen to the answers as they may help you, too.

... Be too confident: Being confident to the point of arrogan-ce is perceived as a bad trait, especially in the banking and consulting industries – no one wants to work with an egomani-ac! You should instead be open, curious and friendly. UniCredit highlight having too much confidence and a presumptuous attitude as turn offs when searching for new employees.

... Approach the UK, Italian and German fairs in the same way: In the UK, fairs and presentations are a way for com-panies to get to know future graduates and inform them of recruitment programmes. It is rare to be interviewed directly by companies on the day and very few accept CVs directly – they will instead refer you to their website. However, it is still useful to have a few CVs with you on the day so you can show them your experience.

While it is not common to bring your CV in the UK, a lot of com-panies attending the Berlin fair (such as Deutsche Post DHL Inhouse Consulting) appreciate it if you do. UniCredit want you to have a “one-page Anglo-American CV in English; reports, fol-ders or covering letters are not necessary.” Similarly, Beiersdorf ask you to have your CV and contact details on hand.

But be careful – some companies don’t want to see your CV and instead prefer you to present it verbally. If they are interested, they will then ask you to apply online. Siemens Management Consulting and UniCredit recruiters also have no interest in seeing CVs on the day, stating that they prefer online applications. “The easiest thing to do prior to the fair is to have a look at the company’s website,” says Siemens Management Consulting. “If you can‘t find answers to your questions there, bring them with you; we prefer not to receive a copy of you CV at the booth. It is easier – and safer – for you to complete the application electronically after meeting us at the fair.” They also prefer not to be asked for a CV check at the booth.

Companies attending the Turin Career Fair will accept CVs directly and have few interviews with the candidates; some of them will also organize an assessment center the day after. For this reason is very important to be informed about the ac-tivities they do and prepare some interesting questions to ask to the HR. Of course, Italian companies appreciate you having visited their website as well as seen the offers and uploaded your CV before meeting them at the Fair.

... Dress down: Many students will not turn up to careers fairs in the UK in business attire. However, at ESCP Europe’s London campus we expect students to attend this event in smart business clothes.

It is a different situation in Berlin, and your choice of a busi-ness suit or casual dress depends on the industry you are in-terested in. Banks prefer business suits and ties, and UniCre-dit recruiter Sabine Becker says candidates in suits definitely stand out. Many consultancies follow the same thinking – BearingPoint find casual wear unprofessional.

Page 23: ESCP Europe Linking Talents: A Recruitment Guide

IMPROVING YOUR CV

Your CV is your personal marketing brochure. It needs to give a potential employer an insight in what separates you from other applicants. Should you be uncertain about that, start with a self-analysis (you may contact your career service office for support). Coming to the structure, we have prepared a list of tips to help make your CV stand out from the crowd.

GENERAL TIPS

Structure

Your CV should contain the following sections:

· Education

· School and university, starting with your most recent education or Abitur. Don’t mention schools you attended before.

· Work experience (internships, side jobs, work relating to students activities, employment in the family business, etc.)

· Languages

· IT skills

· Extracurricular activities (voluntary work is a plus for most companies)

· Interests

· You may also add a section on scholarships or successes, e.g. if you received scholarships or won prizes.

Putting forward your work experiences indicates that you are a young professional. As you have just graduated or will gradu-ate in the close future, you should start with the education section.

CONTENT

Task led, quantified and achievement-based bullet points are the key to a successful CV.

Task Led: Show what you did and how you did it.

Quantified: Be specific and precise. All points should provide evidence and examples to show the scale of the task e.g. ‘50 sales calls a day’ or ‘improved a new process currently being used by the IT department’.

Achievement: Being able to show that you did something above and beyond what was expected of you is a good way to separate you from other candidates. What extra projects/tasks did you get? What improvements did you make? Did you get promoted?

Personal Data: In the UK we have fair selection based on equal opportunity laws. This often means that UK CVs do not have personal data, including: nationality, age (DOB), place of birth, marital status. There is also NO PHOTO required and including a picture can often look strange to UK companies. In Germany, Spain and Italy most employers prefer a photo on a CV. This should be a professionally shot application photo with you in business dress looking reliable, trustworthy, and smiling – essentially, employable. Don’t take your self-made Facebook photo, serious passport photos or photos from private contexts. The personal data section in German CVs has reduced in size in recent years. You should place it beside your photo and include name and contact address, date of birth. A good thing to mention is your availability. The same holds for Spanish and Italian CVs.

CVs without gaps: Especially, German employers want to know your work life in detail. Therefore, you should be sure to add the month and year to every point of your education and work experience (e.g. 6/2013–9/2013 L’Oréal, Marketing department, internship). You should avoid leaving gaps – if you took a time out for half a year to travel, no problem. This kind of information should go in your extracurricular activities and it will present a nice topic of conversation at fairs or in inter-views. Ask your careers team for advice if you are not sure how to address gaps properly.

OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER

· One page in English for investment banking.

· Two pages max for all other roles

· References can be removed. A company will ask for these when they are required and can you save you space

· Most CVs are written in the third person.

· For applying in non-English speaking countries, have CVs in the local language ready (only if you know the language).

ADVERTORIALWHY DO APPLICATION DOCUMENTS MATTER?

INTERVIEW WITH CLAIRE BASSO, UNIQLO

Claire, as a recruiter, why do application documents matter? They are important documents for a recruiter to assess whether it makes sense or not to invite a candidate to an interview. It’s not only to see whether a person has the right skill set for a role but also to learn about her/his motivation. Documents needs to be customized depending on the company/ role you apply.

How do you assess motivation by reading a CV? The overall impression shows whether a can-didate is able to have the recruiter’s needs in mind: does the CV clearly states the candida-te’s objectives, is easy to understand, to follow, and doesn’t include spelling mistakes? A good CV is concise, entails the information that is most important for the company you apply to and is clearly structured.

What about the covering letter? The covering letter is even more significant. Through this, a candidate can show his / her company/industry knowledge, and demonstrate why he’s the ideal candidate for the role, why the company is the right fit for him in terms of values. It shouldn’t be a repetition of the CV, nor our company website. I want to feel GENUINE interest and authenticity.

Uniqlo is looking for international talents in fashion retail, as the company is heavily expanding globally – which skills should candidates put in the front of their applications? Things move quickly at Uniqlo. That means we try to hire great people, regardless of the job. Beyond skills and expe-rience, those people are passionate. They also have high ambitions, and an entrepreneur mindset. They love to work with diverse people and have an ability to build teams. They are innovators, and constantly challenge themselves to make a significant contribution to their business and more broadly, to the world. We do not believe that the head office is superior to the stores. This means that career trajectories can follow a number of different paths in store or at the head office. We strive to be the kind of company in which every employee can grow and take pride in their achievements.

· In the case you send an unsolicited application, you defini-tely should follow up on the phone.

· In Germany, the term ‘complete’ documents relates to the following: covering letter, CV, grade transcripts from univer- sity and Abitur/A-levels, plus references and recommenda- tion letters. If you are making an application via email, pay attention to file size and ensure they are not too large.

Language skills – don’t exaggerate

Be realistic with the level of your language skills. You don’t know how relevant the language skills will be and they may test you during the interviews by inviting a multilingual colleague along! If you did some basic language courses years ago, leave it out. You should always include your native language as well.

Extracurricular Activities

This section is a chance to show that you are driven and motivated outside of your studies. Employers look to this section to get a sense of your character and see if you have demonstrated signs of perseverance and leadership. Good examples of extracurricular activities include association memberships, charity work, projects, or roles in a sports association.

Interests – open to interpretation

Most employers consider it important to share your interests. Mention sports and musical activities here. Again, be task led, quantified and show achievement, i.e. mention how many years you do that activity, your role in your sports team, and your participation in competitions and tournaments.

Some say you should pick interests carefully, though – for instance, if you say you like fencing, employers may see you as an aggressive person. You shouldn’t mention reading as an interest as this is expected from you anyway. The same applies for “I am interested in economics and politics.“

Finally…

The more information you can provide, the better! Compa-nies will use everything to understand what you actually did and what you achieved. Have three to four bullet points un-der your most recent employment experiences and be prepa-red to change them according to the job you are applying for.

WRITING YOUR CV – DOS AND DON’TS

Do ...… Be Consistent

Keep your formatting consistent throughout i.e. font, text size, etc.

List your education and employment in a standardised way i.e. if you list your university name first and then your degree, list your company name and then your position.

Make sure all sections are in chronological order. Put the most recent information first.

Make sure that your CV is also consistent to your CV in profes-sional networks.

… Be relevant

Choose the best examples from each experience that best matches the job.

Think of the technical aspects of your experience that may be useful.

Use technical terminology of the industry/organisational area you’re applying to, e.g. marketing or banking.

Tailor your CV to each application

Consider adding a ‚Summary‘ section which you tailor for each role, especially if you have diverse experience. It needs to be precise and focused demonstrating two/three key facts that make you suitable for the role.

… Keep it simple

Most companies prefer a clear, simple structure and clearly defined sections. Overly complicated graphics or borders make it hard for the employer to find the information they need.

IMPROVING YOUR CV 25

Page 26: ESCP Europe Linking Talents: A Recruitment Guide

“You should invest plenty of time into your CV and application documents as this is your busi-

ness card. We look after consistency related to the selection of internships, and CVs need to show foreign experience that documents an orientation towards results. Moreover, extracurricular and social activities are important for us. Do students broaden their horizon beyond expertise-related borders? Lateral thinkers are welcome.”

Peek & Cloppenburg

“Factors for a successful CV: Adjust your CV to selected position (emphasising relevant experience); make it easy to un-derstand; give it a clear layout; make sure all information is relevant; and avoid gaps.”

Beiersdorf

“Mention details about your background and extracurricular activities.”

Shell

“Increase the informative value of your CV by adding descriptions of your internships and studies. Do a spell check and have a consistent chronology (ideally reverse chronological order).”

UniCredit

“It is important that you have a clear and well-structured CV, readability (at font size 10), adequate photo, personalized cover letter (the contact person is often named on the website or in the job advertisement).”

CNC Communications and Network Consulting

“The CV should be in English, well struc-tured, clearly laid out, and preferably include grade point average figures.”

Deutsche Post DHL Inhouse Consulting

“Check your spelling and grammar care-fully. Be sure not to add unnecessary graphics or pictures and incorrect details for your references.”

Otis

“Dos: clear structure, plenty of information. Don’ts: unclear structure, irrelevant or general information.”

BearingPoint

Don‘t …… Use buzz words.

… Use words like ‘dynamic’ or ‘interpersonal’ in your description. These are overused and do not tell the employer anything about you.

… be vague.

… Just describe the skills you used in past employment. Doing so does not give any evidence to your experience. It is hard for employers to understand what you actually did in a role. Instead, use action-orientated sentences to describe what you did to highlight your skills to the employer e.g. Co-ordinated with the sales team on a daily basis by leading the morning meeting.

… Leave out key information

… Leave off academic grades – companies will ask for these.

Online CVs are becoming increasingly important not only due to social networking, but also because of online yearbooks, such as Stellenticket used by our partner companies. So how can you make an impact with your online CV on sites such as LinkedIn and within online yearbooks?

Keep descriptions short and concise! After having pre-viously squeezed all your experience one to one page it is a relief to have seemingly unlimited space in your online profile – but stop: your online CV or yearbook entry should be as concise and precise as your paper/PDF CV. Keep it focused on your performance and achievements. Links to companies with which you have worked or projects posted online are really useful and help to build an interactive picture.

Using Highlights, Industries and Working Languages on Stellenticket: The Stellenticket platform offers three great opportunities to stand out. With the Highlights section, em-ployers can view your experience and education at a glance. Stating your Working Languages helps recruiters to sort out whether you are eligible to work in certain countries. In order to help them assess your motivation, you may also use the Industry Preferences section – here it is important to be selec-

tive (choose 4 or 5 at the most) and consistent, otherwise recruiters will be confused about your motivation.

Interests and Engagement: The same rules apply here as for paper CVs: use these sections to stand out, both in the case of LinkedIn and Stellenticket.

Endorsements on Linkedin: In the endorsements section, you can list individual skills and have your network confirm these by endorsing you. But don’t exaggerate!

International consultancies promise reliable career pros-pects for young professionals. Is it similar in startups? Early-stage startups focus on building the business – per-sonal growth then comes from having a variety of tasks. In mature start-ups, career development becomes increasingly important. At AppLift we have a career path which offers promotion opportunities until even becoming Co-Founder of a new venture.

What talents do you hire? We are looking for top talent with entrepreneurial mind-sets who have a passion for achievement and motivation to build something great.

MAKING AN IMPACT WITH YOUR COVERING LETTER

Do ...... Be original: Covering letters should explain your motiva-tion to work in a certain job for a specific company and your qualifications for this job. If you can replace the name of the company for any other and your covering letter remains totally relevant, you have not tailored it enough and will be unlikely to succeed. Do some research and find something about the position or company that you can relate to directly in your letter.

... Include a clear structure: The letter should cover the following three parts

· About you – What you offer and examples of achievements to demonstrate your credentials

· About the job – Why does it appeal to you? What do you understand about it?

· About the company – What attracts you to them? Why are they succeeding as a business and why is that appealing?

... Be Precise: · Give examples to quantify your skills e.g. “I developed excellent communication skills by working directly with clients on a daily basis to analyse their financial statements.”

· Show achievement e.g. “I created a report for my manager and he implemented the new recommendations.”

· Show leadership through your extracurricular activity e.g. Captain of Football Team, managed a team of four on a humanitarian expedition, etc.

· Tailor your letter to highlight skills they ask for in their job description.

· Do not write a covering letter that is longer than one page. You can consider this a rule!

· Proofread your covering letter to ensure there are no spelling mistakes. Once you have proofread it, proofread it again!

· Check that you are sending the letter to the right company!

... Show Insight: Be sure to show an understanding of the industry e.g. “I want to work in strategic marketing after my

internship at Sony. While there, I enjoyed taking a step back and researching competitors, and then formulating a plan to help the promotion to a target audience.”

Say why a particular job or industry is important to you e.g. “I want to work in a Consultancy because I want to use my experience in the pharmaceutical industry and be able to apply this knowledge to solving client problems.”

Don’t ... ... Be bland: Avoid writing generic and sentences that could apply to any company e.g. “I want to be a consultant because it will help give me a diverse career”.

... Talk too much: Be detailed, but not to the point where you lose relevancy. A simple introduction and closing allows for more room for the detail of your letter. You want to use the space to tell them about you and to bring your CV to life.

WRITING A COVERING LETTER FOR THE UK MARKET

In the UK, a covering letter is a way of improving your applica-tion and selling your experience. It should not be generic – you need to spend time tailoring your letter as it demonstra-tes to the company your desire to work for them.

By adding some research on the company it can also demon-strate your commercial awareness which is not something that you can show in your CV. This is vital for all companies – you must show you understand their market and motivation for applying.

Extracurricular examples as well as work experience and intern-ships are welcomed by employers. As with your CV, they want to see that you have achieved beyond what was expected of you.

The beginning: “Dear Sir/Madam”

The end: If you know the person’s name or you have met them = “Yours sincerely”. If you do not know the person =

“Yours faithfully”

WRITING A COVERING LETTER FOR THE GERMAN AND SPANISH MARKET

Covering letters are viewed the same way in Germany and Spain as they are in the UK: as a way to improve your appli-cation and to give employers insight on your motivation. It should explain why you want to work with this company and in this specific position. It should also give some idea about your future career plans and how this position fits in.

The beginning in German: “Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren”, (or name the contact in question)

The end in German: “Mit freundlichen Grüßen” or “Freundli-che Grüße”. If you have talked to them before, e.g. at a fair or in a casual atmosphere, you may also write “Herzliche Grüße”.

Structure:

· Introduction: Who am I, what do I want? (student of ESCP Europe interested in internship or direct entry). When can I start?

· Why am I applying for this position in this company? It is important to find the balance between glorifying and being

too factual. This block should reflect your motivation and it should be related to business subjects (not to the wonderful employee benefits, corporate social responsibility actions, or the possibility of having a good work-life balance). Tailor your letter exactly to the company and the job requirements and show motivation and qualification.

· What you bring: describe your skills and experiences with examples. First work experience (most important point – use the space), then education and soft skills (very short)

· Closing: Summarise your motivation for the job and then write something like “Über eine Einladung zu einem persönlichen Gespräch würde ich mich sehr freuen.“

WRITING A COVERING LETTER FOR THE ITALIAN MARKET

In Italy, a cover letter is not very common, so precisely for this reason it’s a way to be recognized and appreciated. For con-tent and structure, just orientate upon the tips given for the UK and Germany. We generally open with “Gentile dott./dott.ssa”, even if we do not know the title of the person reading, we never use sig/sig.ra.

“Tell us what motivates you to apply to us. Design it carefully – we are looking

forward to carefully designed applica-tions. Be precise and describe what you are looking for, when you are avai-lable and what kind of ideas you have. Avoid naming the wrong company in the covering letter, but other spelling mistakes are overlooked with a smile – you as a person are the focus.”

Zalando

“Avoid mistakes in your application documents.”

Shell

“The covering letter answers all the WHY questions: WHY this position and WHY this company. Don’t repeat your CV in the covering letter, but do connect your CV to the position.”

UniCredit

“Avoid spelling mistakes.”

Peek & Cloppenburg

“Address your letter to the correct per-son and do not write anything longer than one page.”

Deutsche Post DHL Inhouse Consulting

“What makes a successful covering let-ter? Making people curious about you! Keep it short and crisp – one page is enough. Be sure to check your spelling and grammar. Write authentically – don’t hide behind ‘flowery’ expressi-ons. And don’t simply retell your CV – build bridges between your motivation and experience and use examples. Be sure to avoid both understatement and exaggeration.”

Beiersdorf

Both telephone and face-to-face interviews require a lot of preparation – there are no short cuts. Even if you are eventual-ly lucky enough to just have an informal chat with an employer, you will feel more confident walking into the room if you have prepared. Preparation should start at the application stage so you are ready if you are invited to an interview at the last minute.

Learn the STAR approach to help you formulate your answers to example-based questions.

Situation – Background (just a few sentences)

Task – A specific problem you had to solve (just a few senten-ces)

Action – What you did to resolve the problem (the majority of your answer). How you did it. Your thought processes and rationale.

Result – The positive outcome (just a few sentences)

Your answer should last 3–4 minutes. Avoid using academic experiences, instead choosing from internships, societies/as-sociations, sports, charity work, music etc. Expect follow up questions: what would you do differently? What did you learn?

Do …... Expect different types of interview questions

CV: These are questions based around your experience. It’s the story behind your CV. Keep it short, relevant and catchy, and leave room for questions. Practise this before you attend the interview.

Competency: Competency-based questions are based on the skills required for the role. They revolve around your past experiences and the evidence you give at the interview. Most will require you to give an example of how you have solved a problem in the workplace, for instance.

Motivation: Why do you want the role? You need to show an understanding of what the job entails. Read the job descripti-on and ask previous interns.

Why do you want to work for that company in particular? Why does it differ from its competitors?

Learn the company’s past (heritage, important mergers, etc.), present (current share price, areas of expertise, culture, recent deals, etc.), and future (what are its plans? Any new launches, offices, markets?)

What skills will you bring to the position? Never list skills – show where you gained them and give examples of how you have used them. Stick to the skills relevant to the role.

Technical & Market Knowledge: You need to show at an interview that you are motivated for the role and industry. That will impress a potential employer.

· Investment Banking – Corporate finance, current market conditions (exchange rates, share prices etc), recent trends.

· Accountancy – Any formulas (costing, P&Ls, etc)

· Consultancy – Industry knowledge, market trends

· Marketing – know your SWOT and PEST. Have an idea of what you would like to bring to the role, budget ideas and think of recent campaigns you liked/disliked.

Brainteasers: These can be logical questions asking you to solve a cryptic problem or market sizing estimate.

Learn demographics and measurements to help you with the guestimates. There is no right or wrong, just how you get there.

For both types, always share your logic with the interviewer.

... Have examples ready: Think of 5 or 6 examples that highlight difficult situations you have overcome. These can be projects, team, research, influencing, communication, plan-ning and analytical challenges you have faced.

Don‘t …... Over rehearse: Have answers prepared but never learn the answers. You need to be flexible and tailor your answer according to each question.

... Ignore your interviewer: Interviews are not usually about tricking the candidate. They are there to get the best from you and learn about your experiences. Therefore, you need to listen to the questions and the pointers the interviewer gives you throughout the interview.

PREPARING FOR INTERVIEWS 35

Page 36: ESCP Europe Linking Talents: A Recruitment Guide

... Ask inappropriate questions: Don’t ask about salary or ask personal questions. Ask questions about the job, and specifically questions related something you have researched

about which you want to know more. Here is your chance to show your motivation. One or two questions at the end of the interview are enough.

WHAT MAKES A GOOD

CANDIDATE AT INTERVIEWS?

“Use the interview as a dialogue – sha-re relevant information about yourself and show interest by asking questions. Prove your competencies and capabi-lities with concrete examples. Avoid standardised answers and do not try to play a role.”

Beiersdorf

“Prepare questions, talk through your CV in a structured format, be open and keep eye contact. Be confident, but not too calm. Don’t come unprepared.”

BearingPoint

“The candidate should arrive on time and be adequately attired in business dress. He/she should have prepared for the interview, specifically having facts to hand about the company and the department. Moreover, he/she should pose questions to the interviewers because this signals that he/she has a serious interest in getting the job.”

UniCredit

“Be honest and authentic; have your own opinion.”

MAKING A GOOD IMPRESSION IN VIDEO INTERVIEWS

A lot of companies have started using video interviews in the recruitment process, and you should be prepared for this. Candidates are generally asked questions and expected to pre-record their answers with their laptops at home within a certain time frame. Being the first step in the recruitment process, these interviews are very important.

Tips for performing well in video interviews:

· Dress as smartly as you would for a face-to-face interview

· Create a silent environment – lock the door and mute your mobile phone

· Be aware of your environment – make sure the light is adequate and you don’t have any inappropriate posters on the wall behind you

· Be well prepared – if you are nervous, make notes in advance to keep yourself focused

· Try not to stutter or use a lot of “ehs” or “mmhs” (a good way of knowing if you do this is to record yourself first as a test run and listen back)

· Give yourself plenty of time. Don’t wait until two hours before the deadline! Companies can be flexible with the deadlines if you have an exam pending, for example, so ask first before rushing

· Be well-rested and train your voice a little bit in advance (e.g. with singing)

Hamburg, 1946: there is a start-up atmosphere in the storage room above a tea and spice shop. This is where Axel Springer and his first editors on borrowed typewriters laid the foundation stone for Axel Springer SE, not only today‘s market leader in the print business in the German-speaking world, but a company that operates in over 40 countries and already gene-rates a third of its revenue with digital media. Things do not end here however: Axel Springer SE wants to become the leading digital media company.

Now it is a question of pressing ahead with digitization even faster and more vigorously. For Axel Springer SE, informative and entertaining journalism is a viable business model also in future on the Internet, along with marketing and classifieds, the other two business segments in which the company is traditionally strong.

In the tradition of its founder, who fostered journalistic and technological innovations in his time, Axel Springer SE is bre-

aking new ground. The company is consistently pursuing the objective of building up a fast-growing and profitable digital portfolio, and for this reason is networking today more than ever before with the current generation of founders: digital start-ups. Along with the transformation of our established strong media brands, our own new developments online and strategically-oriented acquisitions of web companies, this net-work is one of the building blocks of the company‘s internatio-nal digitization strategy.
