Work experience

Here you can showcase your work experience including internships. Please note the following:

1. Reverse chronological representation: Name the last experience first.
2. Make sure you don't just mention the employer. The details of your main tasks, projects, activities, achievements etc. are much more important.
3. Try to think whether there are concrete KPIs to help you measure your achievements. Quantifying your achievements can be particularly helpful for roles which are very results driven.
4. Stay specific: Avoid meaningless points such as "help in sponsoring". Better: «Creation of tailor-made presentations for the acquisition of new sponsors»
5. If your employer is not so well known, it is advisable to describe it in 1-2 sentences
6. Depending on the level of study, your "student jobs" (e.g. checkout at Migros, service in the restaurant) are relevant professional experiences and we recommend mentioning them.
7. Please don't just list former employers without a detailed description of the activities.
