Straight from our live streams: how to apply, interview and grow.How to make your application stand out
Build the bridge for the recruiter
Don't focus only on your technical strengths; think about the implications of your work. Build the bridge for the interviewers. Don't let them try to find it for you.

What graduate and trainee programmes are really like
A broad network in a very short time
That's exactly what the trainee programme is about: experiencing the same product from different points of view, getting to know different perspectives, and building a broad overview and a broad network in a very short amount of time.

Changing careers and non-linear paths
From academia to industry R&D
I came from the research world, and it was not an obstacle. It was an opportunity. I was not just another engineer designing the same bolt over and over.

Skills employers look for
Hard skills expire. Soft skills don't
In a world that is changing so fast, the hard skills you studied can become obsolete. So work on your soft skills too: how you communicate, how you work in diverse teams and how you manage unexpected situations.

Changing careers and non-linear paths
Switched sectors at 44
I joined in 2012, at 44, after years in the private sector. I deliberately took a lower-level position than my experience because I really wanted to work there, and in fourteen years I've had three promotions.

How to prepare for job interviews
Be yourself. People notice when you're not
Always be yourself and always be authentic. Never try to be someone you're not. It's not authentic anymore, and people will notice.
Julian PankoTrainee Smart Production & Logistics · BMW Group
Skills employers look for
A growth mindset beats any single skill
Each role has its own skill requirements, but what we really need is adaptability, collaboration, problem solving and a willingness to learn. A growth mindset is really important for a successful candidate.
Lauren DolphinTalent Acquisition Partner · Hitachi Energy
What graduate and trainee programmes are really like
A good internship can fast-track you
At the end of the internship we ask every hiring manager: would you recommend your intern for the Young Professionals Program? If they say yes and the intern applies, they automatically advance past the first review stage.

How to make your application stand out
Build a CV that tells one story
If you know early what you'd like to do and where you'd like to be one day, plan your studies, your working-student positions and your internships towards that goal. Then you always have a strong argument for why you did it.

Changing careers and non-linear paths
Today's job doesn't define tomorrow's
The position you have today doesn't necessarily define the position you'll have tomorrow. Always think openly, be curious and look for opportunities that give you continuous learning. Growth follows naturally.
