CELEBRATING
YEARS
L’Oréal Germany & ESCP Europe celebrate 5 years of partnership For more than five years, L’Oréal Germany is working with us on new experiences and innovative events to challenge ESCP Europe’s students. Beyond career workshops and company presentations, L’Oréal contributes to students’ practical experience and helps to build the ESCP Europe community.

success of marketing and sales activities are measured and expressed by key performance indicators. Controlling is the basis of all managerial decision making. Therefore, the role of a controller is very strategic and relevant. In order to give students a decent picture of entry positions in controlling, ESCP Europe and L’Oréal Germany designed the Controlling Cup – a yearly business competition for the Brandstorm Winning Team “En l‘air” from ESCP Europe: Florentine Urbansky, Alexander Geisinger and Viola Krutwage (from left).
Business competitions for practical experience in teaching: Brandstorm In case study competitions, students encounter real-life challenges and can suggest innovative and open-minded solutions. Already more than 20 years ago, L‘Oréal launched the global marketing competition called “L‘Oréal Brandstorm” with meanwhile student teams from all over the world. At ESCP Europe Berlin, the brandstorm case is part of the international marketing course. At the end

Student teams from all ESCP Europe campus work on the case for four weeks – experiencing controlling in a large, international company. “The Controlling Cup gave me the opportunity to gain real insights into L’Oréal. The final presentation at the headquarters in Dusseldorf was accompanied by the CFO himself. This was great feedback!” says Karolina Rosina, winning team of 2014. Her teammate Peter Voss adds: “The L’Oreal Controlling cup is not only about crunching numbers, it is also about strategic skills and creative thinking.” Natalie Janotta, Talent Acquisition L’Oréal comments: “For us, the ‘Controlling Cup’ is a great
of the lecture, students have to present their solutions to the professor and to L’Oréal Germany. The best teams are invited to the national finals in Düsseldorf. “I love the combination of rigorous analyses that can lead to unconventional and implementable solutions. The brandstorm case is an excellent illustration of how our teaching contents translate into marketing practice,” says Professor Wilken who teaches the course. All country winners pitch their projects during the international finals in the headquarters in Paris in front of the L’Oréal CEO and his management committee. This year, the ESCP Europe team “En l’air” convinced the jury with their ideas for Lancôme and the travel retail market and won the national finals! Business competitions for discovering new job

As CFO Jörn Morgenroth said: “I hope we can establish a long lasting tradition with the Controlling Cup.” – we hope that, too!
In 2015, the best ‘Controlling Cup’ team will win tickets for the ESCP Europe Regatta, taking place in spring in Italy each year ( see p. 19 ). For participation, please contact the Berlin career service team.

In Berlin, the Entrepreneurial Night was a challenge to more than 70 international ESCP Europe students from the Master
Being the world’s first Business School, entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial spirit has always been part of ESCP Europe’s DNA. Today, the ESCP Europe Chair of Entrepreneurship ( ChaireEEE ) empowers, inspires and accompanies tomorrow´s entrepreneurs. It relies on an innovative and experiential pedagogy, a programme of incubation, research and a strong community of several thousand people across dozens of events in Europe. One of the highlights of these events is the Entrepreneurship Festival
in Management (MIM) and the Master in European Business (MEB) programmes who worked in intercultural teams on ten project cases from companies like Zalando, Universal, and Yello Strom throughout the whole night. Experiencing and working with design thinking methods provided an excellent opportunity to test their knowledge and inspiration, as well as to build excellent solutions in great teams. In the morning, they presented their results in front of a jury with experts from the school’s partner companies Hitfox and EY.
in October, taking place at several campuses in parallel. In 2014, various activities at three of the five ESCP Europe campuses gave students the opportunity to get in touch with entrepreneurs and to challenge their entrepreneurial ideas and spirits: In Paris, the ChaireEEE invited a diversity of actors of entrepreneurship such as start-ups, accelerators, facilitators and organisers of events, whose activity is related to the festival theme of community networking, open education, street food, respectful entrepreneurship, collaborative economy, data analysis, new technologies, and new media as well as creative industries. To make the festival happen, 50 students organised 15 events for more than 2,000 participants. In Madrid, the EntrepreneurSHIP Festival was a five hour exploration into the New World of Entrepreneurship by discovering new ways of learning, teaching, consuming, making, and eating. The festival was organised by 40 young entrepreneurs of OptionE.

LINKING TALENTS @ ESCP EUROPE REGATTA Establishing Strong Ties There are various options of building a network. One unique opportunity is the ESCP Europe Regatta – an annual, high-level sailing event organised by fellow students. Linking Talents Germany uses the Regatta to strengthen existing network ties and establish new ones with students, alumni and company partners. Over time, the ESCP Europe Regatta has become THE student event of the year – with more than 50 boats and

Approach the UK, Italian and German fairs in the same way In the UK, fairs and presentations are a way for companies to get to know future graduates and inform them of recruitment programmes. It is rare to be interviewed directly by companies on the day and very few accept CVs directly – they will instead refer you to their website. However, it is still useful to have a few CVs with you on that day so you can show them your experience. While it is not common to bring your CV in the UK, a lot of companies attending the Berlin fair (such as Deutsche Post DHL Inhouse Consulting) appreciate it if you do. UniCredit wants you to have a “one-page Anglo-American CV in English; reports, folders or covering letters are not

CAREER EVENTS & FAIRS – MAKING THE MOST OUT OF IT! Companies attending the Torino Career Fair will accept CVs directly and have a few interviews with the candidates; some of them will also organise an assessment centre the day after. For this reason, it is very important to be informed about the activities they do and prepare some interesting questions to ask to the HR. Of course, Italian companies appreciate you having visited their website as well as seen the offers and uploaded your CV before meeting them at the fair.
Dress down Many students will not turn up to careers fairs in the UK in business attire. However, at ESCP Europe’s London campus we expect students to attend this event in smart business clothes. It is a different situation in Berlin, and your choice of a business suit or casual dress depends on the industry you are interested in. Banks prefer business suits and ties, and UniCredit recruiter Kristin Richartz says candidates in suits definitely stand out. Many consultancies follow the same – BearingPoint otis33263-140701-01 thinking 02.07.2014 10:57 Seite find 1 casual wear unprofessional.

IMPROVING YOUR CV Your CV is your personal marketing brochure. It needs to give a potential employer an insight into what separates you from other applicants. Should you be uncertain about that, start with a self-analysis ( y ou may contact your career service office for support ). Regarding structure, we have prepared a list of tips to help make your CV stand out from the crowd.
General Tips Structure Your CV should contain the following sections: ›› Education School and university, starting with your most recent education or Abitur. Don’t mention schools you attended before. ›› Work experience ( internships, side jobs, work relating to students activities, employment in the family business, etc. ) ›› Languages ›› IT skills ›› Extracurricular activities ( voluntary work is a plus for most companies ) ›› Interests ›› You may also add a section on scholarships or successes, e.g. if you received scholarships and won prizes. Putting forward your work experience indicates that you are a young professional. As you have just graduated or will graduate in the near future, you should start with the education section.
Personal Data: In the UK we have fair selection based on equal opportunity laws. This often means that UK CVs do not have personal data, including: nationality, age ( DOB ), place of birth, marital status. There is also no photo required and including a picture can often look strange to UK companies. In Germany, Spain and Italy most employers prefer a photo on a CV. This should be a professionally shot application photo with you in business dress looking reliable, trustworthy, and smiling – essentially, employable. Don’t take your self-made Facebook photo, serious passport photos or photos from private contexts. The personal data section in German CVs has reduced in size in recent years. You should place it beside your photo and include your name, contact address and date of birth. A good thing to mention is your availability. The same holds for Spanish and Italian CVs. CVs without gaps: Especially, German employers want to know your work life in detail. Therefore, you should be sure to add the month and year to every point of your

conversation at fairs or in interviews. Ask your careers team for advice if you are not sure how to address gaps properly.
Quantified: Be specific and precise. All points should provide evidence and examples to show the scale of the task e.g. ‘50 sales calls a day’ or ‘improved a new process currently being used by the IT department’. Achievement: Being able to show that you did something above and beyond what was expected of you is a good way to separate you from other candidates. What extra projects /tasks did you do? What improvements did you make? Did you get promoted?

“What makes a successful covering letter? Making people curious about you! Keep it short and crisp - one page is enough. Be sure to check your spelling and grammar. Write authentically – don’t hide behind ‘flowery’ expressions. Build bridges between your motivation and experience and use examples. Be sure to avoid both understatement and exaggeration.” Beiersdorf “The covering letter answers all the WHY questions: WHY this position and WHY this company. Don’t repeat your CV in the covering letter, but do connect your CV to the position.” UniCredit “Address your letter to the correct person and do not write anything longer than one page.” Deutsche Post DHL Inhouse Consulting
“Tell us what motivates you to apply to us. We are looking forward to carefully designed applications. Be precise and describe what you are looking for, when you are available and what kind of ideas you have. Avoid naming the wrong company in the covering letter, but other spelling mistakes are overlooked with a smile – you as a person are the focus.” Zalando “Add additional information about gaps or not so easy to understand stages in your CV. You did all your internships in one industry but now applying for a job in a totally different industry? Tell about your motivation and why you didn’t work in their industry before.“ Bayer Business Consulting “Use the covering letter to express your interest in joining our company and to convince us that we should meet in person. The letter should be authentic and must not contain any spelling mistakes.” Inverto
“Restate your interest in the position and demonstrate how your unique qualifications fit the position. Keep to the point, i.e. what makes you the candidate of choice. Show your understanding, or your passion, of the company/industry.” Payback “You can impress P&G with a CV that underlines your achievements and how you have contributed to obtain a specific objective (we also like to get to know your extra-curricular activities!). P&G puts high emphasis on leadership and how you fit to the purpose, values and principles of the company. On top of that, please make sure to hand in all your relevant diplomas and certificates incl. grades. A cover letter is not a must.” Procter & Gamble

PREPARING FOR VIDEO INTERVIEWS Making a good impression in video interviews A lot of companies have started using video interviews in the recruitment process, and you should be prepared for this. Candidates are generally asked questions and expected to pre-record their answers with their laptops at home within a certain time frame. Being the first step in the recruitment process, these interviews are very important. Tips for performing well in video interviews: ›› Dress as smartly as you would for a face-to-face interview. ›› Create a silent environment – lock the door and mute your mobile phone. ›› Be well-rested and train your voice a little bit in advance ( e.g. with singing ). ›› Be well prepared – if you are nervous, make notes in advance to keep yourself focused. ›› Try not to stutter or use a lot of “ehs” or “mmhs” ( a good way of knowing if you do this is to record yourself first as a test run and listen back ).
›› Be aware of your environment – make sure the light is adequate and you don’t have any inappropriate posters on the wall behind you. ›› Expect the unexpected. Video interviews sometimes have more unusual questions e.g. Who is your business hero? What brand best describes you? What song lyric describes you? If asked these questions, look calm and take a few seconds to think of the best answer. Try and be original, be true to yourself and most importantly show that you are happy to take on the challenging question.
›› Give yourself plenty of time. Don’t wait until two hours before the deadline! Companies can be flexible with the
