Submitting Your Application
• General Submission
If you like this company, but haven’t quite found the right job, you can still express your interest by submitting a general resume/CV. Just click on Jobs and follow the instructions. We’ll keep your resume in our system in the geographic region in which you applied, but your information won't be tied to a specific job opening. Our recruiters will contact you if there’s a fit with one of our opportunities.
• Student or Graduate Applications
We offer employment programs for students and graduates in many locations. Visit the Students/Graduates page to learn more about those programs and to apply for a job.
Resume Tips
• Summarise your education and employment experience.
Be sure to focus on the aspects of your background that match the requirements of the job you’re applying for, and skip the things that are outdated or irrelevant.
• Describe your specific strengths and expertise.
Convey, if appropriate, how your skills might be applied in new or different ways or for a different type of job than you’ve had in the past.
• Highlight your accomplishments in previous jobs, not just your duties or responsibilities.
Everyone has job duties; it’s how you approached them and what you accomplished in carrying them out that makes you stand out.
• Show progression.
Whether it’s in school, leadership roles, or your work, highlight how your experience has helped you grow. Mention promotions or skills you’ve picked up along the way.
• Highlight specific qualifications for this job.
If you are applying for a specific position, be sure to call out experience or accomplishments that make you qualified—or even more qualified than another applicant. For example, if you’ve worked with a particular technology the job requires or you have experience that might give you an edge, be sure to mention it.
• Talk about related extracurricular or volunteer work.
Just because you weren’t paid for it, that doesn’t mean it’s not important! If you have this type of experience, include it to underscore your passion for the field.
• Include links to projects you’ve worked on.
This substantiates the experience and accomplishments you describe in your resume, giving the recruiter a better idea of how you put your skills into practice.
• It’s okay to use more than one page.
Include all relevant experience rather than cutting things to make your resume fit on one page. That said, be sure your summaries are succinct and your most important information appears on the first page.
• And don’t underestimate how important it is to:
Make sure your CV/resume is completely up-to-date, including ensuring your contact information is current. Be honest. Paint the best possible picture of yourself, but don’t exaggerate. And proofread for typos and errors - more than once!
Interview Tips
• Do your homework.
Read the job description and then read it again.
• Where? When?
Know the location of your interview and make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get there so you're not late.
• Know your subject—you.
Know which of your skills and experiences qualify you for this job and be prepared to give examples.
• Ask questions.
Relax, smile, be yourself, and ask us as many questions as you’d like. Interviews are a two-way process, after all.
• Dress for success.
Be smart and dress smart. While the dress code in our offices is casual, we take the interview and selection processes very seriously so we recommend you wear business attire for your interview.

• Can I withdraw an application if I change my mind?
Yes, if you change your mind about a particular job, you may withdraw your application for that job.
• Will my application be treated confidentially?

• What’s the best way to submit my application?
We prefer to receive applications electronically on this website. If you build your application through our online system, the information you provide will be retained and you can update it any time. Your application and resume/CV should summarize your education, accomplishments, and employment history, plus any other information you think we should know.
• Do you check references?
Yes, we may perform extensive reference and educational qualification checks at any point in the recruitment process.
• Does KALCO do background checks?
Yes, we perform background checks on all new hires before their start date. A typical background check will verify employment and education and may include a criminal record check. For certain positions, we may also perform a credit check.
• How will I be evaluated for a job at KALCO?
We will carefully assess your application, resume/CV, and experience related to the job for which you’re applying. We’ll also consider you for other openings that might match your background and expertise. If you are being considered for a job, a recruiter will contact you for an interview.
• What is the KALCO interview process like?
Our interview process typically begins with a phone screen from one of our recruiters. This is sometimes followed by a conversation with a member of the hiring team (we call this a tech screen). The phone screen tends to focus on your experience and interests, while the tech screen is often more technical or skills-based.
Following your phone and tech screens, you may be invited for final interviews either at KALCO or at a location near you. During these interviews—which last about 45 minutes each—you’ll typically meet one-on-one with three to six interviewers, who might be peers or managers, over the course of a day. We like to reach a decision on applicants within five businesses days, but your recruiter will let you know more specifically when you can expect to hear the result.
The interview process differs slightly for college students since we often conduct on-campus interviews.
• Does KALCO hire students, interns, and new graduates? Yes, we offer employment programs for students and graduates in many locations.
• I applied for a summer internship but I haven’t heard back. What does this mean? Generally, we fill our summer internship positions by mid-May. However, we do keep all internship applications on file. So even if you haven’t heard by mid-May, we’ll still have your application in case an opportunity that matches your skills and interests becomes available.
