Candidates stand out by showing clear motivation, structured examples of impact, and willingness to learn.

A clear, well-structured CV that highlights relevant experience and impact, while ensuring your application is tailored to the role, is more important than design.

Cover letters are not mandatory, but are appreciated when they are concise and show genuine motivation for the role. While AI can help structure your ideas, the content should remain authentic and professional.
5. How should I prepare for interviews?
You should prepare by understanding the role and practising real examples where you learned or applied the needed skills for the role.
6. Should I use AI during my interview?
You can use AI to prepare ahead of your interview, but we strongly advise against using it during the interview, as we want to meet the real you and understand your motivation. Also, it is completely fine to take a moment to think before answering.

Yes, if each role is relevant to your profile and your application is tailored to the role.
8. Who can apply for internships at Nestlé?
Internships are mainly designed for students or recent graduates, typically within one year after graduation.

Yes, internships are designed for learning, so academic projects, extracurricular activities, and personal initiatives are considered valuable experience.
10. Can candidates with more experience or a PhD apply for internships?
Internships are learning experiences, so if you already have several years of working experience or a PhD, you may be better suited for junior or specialist roles.

No, we focus on your skills, motivation, and potential rather than your university or exact academic path.
