- You get only one chance to apply every year. Make sure to pay attention to every detail of your application!
- Your application starts the moment you apply, by submitting a resume AND a cover letter.
- We receive thousands of applications so in order for us to qualify early on the most motivated candidates, we only consider applications that have a cover letter, even as short as a couple of sentences, for as long as it mentions - at the least - a strong reason and desire to join our company.
- Which means, avoid using ChatGPT like thousands of other candidates. Be genuine and sincere, it works and you'll definitely stand out!

- Video & Live interviews, assignments, whatever we ask you during this hiring process aims at unveiling your capabilities for the position. We'll let you know the moment we feel it won't work with us. This doesn't mean you won't succeed elsewhere, rather the opposite! It is a matter of getting all our planets aligned at the right moment.
