Build your CV
Choose the right parts of your story to tell.
Ensure you mention the experiences that show us the fit you make for the job position you’re applying for. And if you’re applying for an internship program, mention all your experiences, competencies, and achievements.
Your LinkedIn profile should be updated as your CV is. Update your photo, the headline, and the summary section. List the relevant information: professional and academic experience, academic certifications, skills, and achievements. Ask for recommendations from people you've worked with.
Work on your cover letter
Your cover letter should be an extension of your CV and a way to expand on your experiences, skills, and learning. Also, make sure you create personalised versions according to the job opportunities you are applying for.
Try to answer specific questions such as:
- Why are you interested in working for EDP?
- What are your main motivations regarding this job opportunity?
- How have some of your past experiences helped you develop the skills you highlighted?
- Why are you the most suitable person for this position?
Prepare for online assessments...
- Be yourself and show us how you are
- Choose a quiet place with a good internet connection
- Manage time effectively and stay calm
... and interviews:
- Review your CV and get ready to talk about yourself and your experiences
- Know yourself – self-awareness is essential for everyone to be able to talk about themselves, strengths and weaknesses
- Seek information about the company and review the job offer: understand what kind of skills the company is looking for and try to explain, throughout the interview, why there is no one better than you for the job
- Answer questions objectively, giving practical examples of how you can contribute to the job; if you are not immediately sure of your answer, ask for the question to be repeated
- Don't be afraid to ask questions: one of the most valued skills in EDP is demonstrating curiosity; questions show that you are interested in finding out more
