Your CV

  • Try to keep it to one page, with a maximum of two pages.
  • Include any work experience and detail the skills learnt from these.
  • Include any responsibilities and/or skills that are relevant to the role – these can be gained from academic, professional or personal experiences, we don’t require you to have any prior professional work experience.
  • Try to match your skills to those listed on the job description.
  • Make sure you proofread it! If you can, ask someone to check for spelling and grammar errors.
  • At Warner Bros. Discovery we are committed to diversity and inclusion, we encourage you not to include your photograph on your CV. 
  • Please submit your CV ASAP as we will close the roles once we have enough applications.
  • If the recruiter feels your CV matches the job requirements, you will be invited to complete a screening call with a member of the Early Talent team.
  • This will only last about 15 minutes, and they will ask you questions about your experience, interests and skills.
  • Try to think of some examples of when you have demonstrated certain skills (communication, time management, teamwork, etc.).
  • Save the job description down so you can relate back to this in the interview and match your skills to the job responsibilities.
