Your cover letter is a chance to highlight your strengths and positive attributes. A good cover letter should aim to explain why you are the best candidate for the position. Give us a brief overview of who you are, where you gained the skills and expertise for the job, and why you chose to apply for this particular position.

For video interviews we either use MS TEAMS, SKYPE, or HireVue. Your recruiter will provide you with details before the interview.

Watch the video or read the tips below to help you prepare:

1. Find a quiet place with good lighting without distraction.
2. Make sure your internet connection is strong so you don’t get disconnected. You should test your technical equipment before the video starts and this might require some time if you need to fix something.
3. Stabilize your computer on a solid surface to prevent camera shake.
4. Get used to talking into the camera. You don’t need to break out your acting skills. We want to see your personality.
5. To get important points across while keeping your answers concise it is often helpful to use the STAR format: Describe your situation and task, your action and the result.
6. Be comfortable. Wear your typical wardrobe.
7. Tell your story. Nobody can tell it better than you.

Keep in mind that you have already cleared the first hurdle! Your application has sparked our interest and now we would like to find out more about you. Best matched candidates will receive a phone or video interview with a talent acquisition specialist, followed by an onsite face to face interview with the hiring team. One of our objectives is to gain a better idea of who you are. As you prepare for the interview, reflect on the important milestones in your life as well as what sets you apart from other candidates. Take the advantage of this opportunity to leave a lasting, positive impression.

Please be wary of fraudulent emails from people falsely acting as Continental recruiters. Continental recruiters will have an email address with a Continental domain. If the email is suspicious, check LinkedIn to find out more about your Continental recruiter or email with questions.

Continental would never extend employment in the U.S. without a formal interview and in no case would we ask you to transfer money to get invited to an interview or receive a job, even if the job is in another country and a visa is needed.

If you receive such an email, please do not open any links, save the email as a file, and send it as an attachment to careers@conti-na.com to confirm whether or not it is legitimate.
