- Before You Apply: Know yourself and Filta.
Assess yourself
Before you jump in, take a quick breath and think about yourself. Is Filta a good fit for your skills and goals? Check out the program details and values (Educate, Empower, Guide, Support), and see if they match your strengths and what you want to achieve.
Do your research
Spend some time checking out Filta’s website and social media. See what we’re all about and what we stand for. Get a clear understanding of our core values (Educate, Empower, Guide, and Support) and our mission. This will show you’re interested and can help you write an application that matches what we’re looking for.
Learn about the program
Take a good look at the graduate program description, especially the part that says “Who Are We Looking For?”. This will tell you what kind of person we’re seeking. Once you know that, make sure your application shows them you have those skills.
- Prepare Your Application: Highlight your strengths.
Curriculum vitae
Your CV is your first impression, so make it count! Aim for a clean and professional look that’s easy to read. This means using a clear font, keeping it organized, and avoiding clutter.
Since hiring managers often skim through many resumes quickly, put the most important information at the top. Highlight any relevant experience you have in business, people relations, HR, or related fields. Don’t forget to showcase your academic achievements and strong references.
We’re looking for someone with:
- Experience or interest in business and people relations
- High academic performance (strong recommendations from professors are a plus!)
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
- Strong critical thinking and problem-solving abilities
- Proven ability to collaborate effectively within a team
- High adaptability and a willingness to embrace new challenges
- Demonstrated resourcefulness in various situations
- Confidence in one’s abilities and decisions
- Willingness to learn
Highlight your experiences related to these factors we’re looking for!
Lastly, remember that your resume is all about you! It should showcase your relevant skills and experience in a way that highlights why you’d be a great fit for the graduate program.

This is an opportunity for us to get to know you a little better by providing us with a glimpse of who you are.
If you’re having trouble with writing your cover letter, you may answer these questions:
