We only control what we know. It is imperative to learn about the company before applying for it, its missions, its organization, its competitors, its history, its news.

Design A Coherent Career Path
Each CV has a story. The idea is to create 2 or 3 CV templates depending on your applications while structuring a coherent path. Indeed, all your experiences (jobs, internships.) and skills do not have the same value depending on the positions targeted. Since a recruiter only spends 30 seconds reading a CV, you should send him a version that best suits the job offer.
Write A Personalized Cover Letter
The cover letter is used to prove that you understand the recruiter’s needs the challenges of a position and that you are ready to meet them. It must convince in 3 parts:
- “You”: this part takes up the context of the offer and explains the objective reasons for your application,
- “Me”: this paragraph explains how your skills and your project are specifically in line with the requirements of the position,
- “We”: synthesis of your letter, this part presents the collaboration project, what you will do together.
You do not need to rewrite the cover letter from A to Z but changing a few sentences in the “you” and “us” parts is essential to stand out (for example, mention a product or company project).
Prepare For The Job Interview

There are even free online salons available from home on the Internet. In all cases, you should prepare yourself before participating in a fair: CV printing, taking information on companies and preparing your arguments.
