Tips for your application

It is always a good idea to be well-prepared when applying for a job. To help you, we have drawn up some guidelines that may be useful when preparing an application for a job. When applying for a job, we would ask you to submit an application letter referring to the specific job, a CV as well as relevant references (for example diploma, references from employers, for applicants with no or little professional experience: A-levels certificate).

You are always welcome to contact the listed person to get more details about the job.

Useful tips for your application:

  • Remember that your application is our first impression of you
  • Explain why you want to work with SimCorp, how you can contribute to our future development, and how we can contribute to yours
  • Remember that the application is a presentation of you. We expect your application to be job-specific, in which you provide a nuanced and detailed description of your particular competences and how they relate to the requirements of the job you seek
  • Your application should include your motivation for applying for a job with us – in general and the job specifically. What are your interests, and what do you want to do?
  • Please remember to note which position you are applying for, and repeat your contact details on your application.

Useful tips for writing a résumé (CV)

Along with your application, you must enclose a CV so that we can obtain a more detailed overview of your educational background, your career so far and your professional qualifications. Keep your CV precise and brief.

As a minimum, your CV should include the following data:

  • Your full name
  • Contact details (address, phone number, email)
  • Your personal attributes
  • Your professional qualifications
  • Your educational background
  • Any relevant courses
  • IT skills
  • Language skills
  • Any other relevant information

Your résumé should be structured and straightforward. We suggest you put the information in chronological order, starting with the most recent details.

You are welcome to attach a photo of yourself and we require relevant diplomas, certificates and/or letters of recommendation. If you choose not to attach these, you will be asked to produce them later which will result in a longer processing period.

The interview

If we believe that you have the right qualifications for the job, you will be invited to an interview. The interview is intended to give you a better idea of the job in question and whether SimCorp is the right place for you to work.

We look forward to receiving your application!
