It will give us an impression of what kind of person you are next to your professional profile.

  • Make sure you have an up to date profile that conveys your personality.

  • The “About” section is the place where you describe your personal brand. Who are you as a person and a professional? What are your key achievements and what drives you?

  • Make sure your experiences match up with your CV. If you like, add photos and videos to illustrate your former work experiences.

  • Your interests will show us what you are passionate about.

How to best prep for your interview
