Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to write a cover letter?
— We definitely encourage you to do so. A cover letter allows you to elaborate on yourself, your competencies, and your motivation for the position — which will be a clear advantage and helps the recruitment team learn much more about you.
What should I include in my cover letter and CV?
— The most important thing when writing your cover letter and CV is to make sure that you reflect the job ad — in terms of experience, responsibilities, competencies, and the language in which the ad is written.
A few tips for your cover letter:
- Summarize what makes you an ideal candidate for the job
- Write why you’re passionate about the specific position — and Elopak
- Give real-life examples that demonstrate why your competencies and personal traits match our needs
- Limit your cover letter to a single page and use subheadings to break up the text

What should I prepare for the interview?
