Your Preparation Phase

Success is rooted in preparation. This section is your dedicated hub for building a compelling application and preparing for a confident interview.

Your resume is the key to a good application. A well-structured resume will help you emphasize your professional experience and successes. The type size should be clearly legible and the overall layout and formatting should be simple. Start with your personal details, followed by your education or professional training, professional experience, foreign languages, international experience, other activities and hobbies.

  • Personal data: Please be sure to include all important contact details such as your name, email address, phone number and postal address in your resume.
  • Education/licenses/designations/certifications: Your resume should accurately reflect your education along with any licenses, designations or certifications earned.
  • Professional experience: List your previous jobs and the duration of employment with each company. Summarize important details of your tasks in each position including significant accomplishments or projects.
  • Before you submit your application, don’t forget your attachments. References, job confirmations, transcripts of grades and any other relevant written documentation are necessary to substantiate your qualifications and experience.

If you don’t have a resume ready, your up-to-date LinkedIn profile is a great place to start. You can quickly download a professional PDF version to use as a solid foundation for your application.

How to Download Your PDF Resume:
Step 1: Navigate to your LinkedIn profile page (Click the "Me" icon -> "View Profile").
Step 2: Click the "Resources" button, located directly below your name and headline.
Step 3: From the options that appear, select "Save to PDF".

Your resume will be downloaded in a professional PDF format.

Tip: While the LinkedIn PDF is a great starting point, tailor your resume for each job by adjusting your summary and highlighting role-specific experience.

After you have found the perfect job opening, it is time to work on your application. A cover letter is not mandatory. If you choose to make use of the option and upload a cover letter, please ensure it is adapted to the position you are applying for. Please be sure to highlight the skills, experiences and competencies that are relevant to the role and make you the ideal candidate. The best cover letters are short and to the point. Don’t worry if you don’t know the hiring manager’s name — a general greeting is completely acceptable. A few questions that your cover letter should answer:

  • Why do you want to work for Allianz?
  • Why are you interested in the posted position?
  • What makes you the right candidate for the position?

Discover a transformative edge in your job application process at Allianz by leveraging the dynamic capabilities of AI tools. ChatGPT assists in tailoring your cover letters and CVs to align perfectly with job descriptions, providing a fresh perspective that enhances clarity, creativity, and engagement. We explore the distinct advantages of leveraging ChatGPT in job applications and gain valuable insights on how to effectively harness this technology to craft applications that stand out.

Tarrah, Talent Acquisition Manager at Allianz Life US

Being a recruiter is rewarding for Tarrah as she feels it brings a sense of pride and appreciation to see an employees’ career journey within Allianz.  She can closely relate to the career journey within Allianz and how it has helped her grow and develop as a professional.  Her advice to applicants: “Do your research on the company and review the job description so that you can relate to the job responsibilities and requirements, but also bring knowledge of the company to your interview; then sell your strengths and why you would be a good fit for the role.” She adds, “make sure, you stay meaningful and avoid objective statements”.

Nasir, Senior University Relations Expert & Senior Recruiter

Nasir values authenticity above all. “Be yourself”, he says. “There is nothing more powerful than originality – and this is what we look for”. At the same time, he recommends to stay focused, being well informed about the company and its engagements besides the core business. During a job interview, applicants should feel encouraged to ask questions themselves. Nasir’s insider tip: “If a recruiter can look up your account on LinkedIn, why shouldn’t you? You might find a nice ice breaker for your conversation.”
