    Hello and thank you for your question.
    I will try to answer you, but I want you to know that the process might differ depending on the vacancy. I can describe my experience to you, so you can get a first idea.
    After submitting my application, I received a knowledge test which I had 5 days to complete if I remember correctly. About 10 days after completing the test, I received an invitation for an interview. The interview was based on my interests, knowledge, and background. The duration of the interview was about an hour and a half.
    Please be patient and I'm sure someone in charge will contact you soon to let you know the next steps after submitting the application.

    Hi Kary!

    Great question! My experience was a bit different. I got to know the Nokia program by referral at the university, and the professor presented it to me. Then I applied for the job opportunity, and some days later, I got a phone call to schedule a meeting for an interview. During the interview, they did all-in-one, so they made me technical questions but also social and psychological related questions to understand my fit in the team and it was a dynamic conversation which helped to relieve the stress. Then, they contacted me again to present the proposal. For me, it was a great experience and they gave me all availability to ask as many questions as possible and get in contact with them at any time.

    I am sure that you will also have a great experience and someone is already carefully reviewing your profile and let you know what are the next steps as Stefanos mentioned.

    Good luck!!

    Of course!

    I received a call from HR to schedule the interview at my best convenience.

    Before the interview, I was reflecting on my skills as well as strengths and weaknesses. I remember that I also reviewed the projects that I put in my CV to present them in the job interview in a clear way.

    I can also recommend to stay calm and be positive about the interview's outcome.

    Good luck!

    Hi there Kary!


    Your best chance of securing an interview starts at the application stage—your CV and cover letter are your first introduction and personal story to a potential employer. It’s crucial that your CV is well-structured, concise, and aligned with the specific requirements of the role you’re applying for. Your cover letter is an opportunity to express your motivation and enthusiasm for the position. Crafting a tailored application can truly make all the difference in landing that interview.


    Best of luck!
