Do I need to use any keywords in my CV?

Say goodbye to robots scanning for keywords, here! We want to see your unique personality and skills shine through your CV, so let them do the talking and show us why you're the perfect fit for our team.

Can I apply for 2 positions?

Technically speaking, it's possible, yes. From experience, though, we know that applying for 1 position is usually enough. If we see that another role fits your profile better, we'll recommend it to you.

Do I need to write a motivational letter?

Let's put it this way: we like them, but they're totally optional. If you decide to write one, we'd love to get to know you a bit better, so keep it short and tell us:
1. Why are you applying for this position?
2. What are you expecting from it?
3. Why will you be good at it?
