The Unilever culture is very important to us. We aim to create an environment that will allow you to flourish. Think about whether your career goals fit in with our business, what we can offer you, and what we need from our people.

Some helpful tips

If you decide to apply, we’ve included some tips below that might be useful.

Your application form

Your application form is the first chance you have to make a good impression. It’s worth taking the time to make sure you’re completely happy with it:

  • Answer all the questions.
  • Remember that some fields are compulsory in our online application forms. You won’t be able to proceed without completing them.
  • We’ll want to discuss the answers you give when you have your interview, so keep a copy of the form.      

Your CV 

If you're applying for a position where a CV is part of the selection procedure, remember to:

  • Bring a copy to your interview.
  • Think about the role you’re applying for and tailor your CV accordingly. Relevant skills, experience, training and development are all vital in deciding who gets the job. Make sure that yours are represented clearly.        

Be succinct, but not too short. A single page doesn’t tell us much about you, but a good CV should never be more than two to three pages.

The interview

  • Your interview is a chance for us to get a picture of you and your abilities and to see if you have the innovation, drive, and ambition we’re looking for.
  • Remember that it’s a two-way process – you need to get an insight into how we work too. Feel free to ask questions.
  • Be punctual – turning up late never leaves a good impression.
  • We’re not looking for 'right' or 'wrong' answers. We’ll avoid using closed or leading questions, and give you the opportunity to be honest and realistic about what you think and know. If you’re open with us, it’s a much more constructive process and will help both you and us decide whether we’re right for each other.
  • We’ll ask you about situations you’ve experienced, so you should be ready to give real examples.
  • Your roles and responsibilities don’t all have to be work-related. Think about achievements you’ve had in other contexts as well – socially, academically or in the community.
  • Do some background research on Unilever and give yourself an understanding of our business and spheres of interest.
  • Finally, try to relax! Interviews are an important part of the process and can be nerve-wracking. Smiling and looking confident and comfortable creates a great impression.
