Making contact with Pictet:
your CV and cover letter
- Spend the necessary time on these documents, including the visuals. Remember, these initial materials will shape our first impression of your profile.
- Review your CV and cover letter to ensure they genuinely reflect who you are, especially if you used AI to produce your first draft.
- Make sure your CV is concise and clearly structured.
- Your cover letter should complement, not duplicate, your CV by highlighting relevant information not captured there. Draw our attention to what sets you apart.
- If your CV includes a photo, ensure it is professional.
Please ensure that you comply with rules on photographs and other personal data in the country where you are applying.
The recruitment process
This represents the maximum number of stages in the process, depending on business line, the skillsets required, number of applicants and the practices of the various departments and team leaders.
It is possible to apply for more than one position at the same time. But as our HR Business Partners will have access to all your applications, please make sure they are consistent with each other.
Since the Pictet Group focuses on the individual behind each CV and do not rely on AI to review applications, the recruitment process may take a little longer.
We appreciate your patience in this matter.
I was able to channel my curiosity and academic foundation into meaningful industry experience. Graduates remind us that young minds can drive real impact.
The trainers learn as much as the person in training, whether it is about oneself or about the new generation entering apprenticeship.
Nothing is out of reach, but success does not happen by chance. Hard work is always rewarded and every cloud has a silver lining, even in unexpected situations.
It is important for the apprentice to build connections with the entire team and feel engaged.
Taking your time in your career choices is not wasting time; sometimes, it’s the opposite.
Be passionate and be ready to show empathy towards the apprentices.
You are given important responsibilities from day one, which is great for establishing trust with the rest of your team.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. When leaving university, you often feel you should have all the answers. But corporate settings are different. Asking questions is one of the best things you can do.
How to have a successful job interview
Pictet favours a structured yet informal interview style that allows us to understand both your skillset and your personality.

Next steps: at the end of the interview, ask about the upcoming stages in the recruitment process.
