In your application, you will be asked what area of the business you would like to intern, so please do your research beforehand. Make sure you also have a copy of your updated resume, most recent academic transcript and a cover letter outlining why you want to participate in Zurich’s Summer Internship program.

Digital Interview

If your application is shortlisted, you will be asked to complete a digital interview through HireVue. The digital interview is your chance to tell us what can’t be put into words on your resume. 

It’s your opportunity to express your interest in Zurich and the role you have applied for. You’ll be asked a series of short, pre-recorded questions and will be required to respond to the frontward facing camera on your computer or mobile. You'll receive an email invite which will have instructions and a deadline of 48 hours - be sure to monitor your emails! You can find some interview tips here.

Online Assessment and Face to Face Interviews

If your digital interview is successful, you'll be invited to complete our online aptitude test through Saville Assessment. Once completed, we will review the results and contact successful candidates to confirm face to face interviews for the program.
