Do not get afraid about your grades, I was not asked about my final grade for my diploma or for the grades report (only the diploma itself).

Interview Advice:
Be true to yourself, do not try to be someone else.
Prepare for questions about your career plans and high level questions relevant to the position you apply for (if you apply for an IT position, be prepared to talk about new technologies).

Application Advice:
Demonstrate your curiosity and desire to learn. Swiss Re is full of experts who have so much knowledge to share.
Apply for a job that sounds genuinely interesting, rather than one which seems to offer good career prospects for the future. If you don't enjoy your work, you won't be motivated and will struggle to be successful!
Interview Advice:
Reinsurance is not an obvious industry for many graduates. Being able to demonstrate your knowledge about how it works will set you apart. At Swiss Re, we take pride in the value we bring to society through building financial resilience. Take a look at our website and explore some of the projects we have worked on in the past (e.g. micro-insurance, index linked solutions for governments etc.)

Application Advice:
Read the job offer, see if your skills fit it or not, if yes, make sure it appears somewhere on your application.
Take enough time to do a correct application, you are selling yourself, you are somehow a brand and if you sell it bad, the chances to have an interview are decreasing.
The goal must be to go to the interview!
Interview Advice:
Get prepared for the interview and don't be overstressed during the interview.
It is not an exam, it is a discussion to be sure if you are suiting the role. For you it's the opportunity to get to know the people working there, and also to make sure it is what you are expecting.

Swiss Re, with its status as top reinsurer, is great to have on your CV. It is very highly regarded within the re/insurance industry. However, the downside is that salaries are less favourable than what you might expect at one of our smaller competitors.
