How to submit your CV to Cortefiel
Before providing personal information, check where your application is going and avoid using links found only in old guides:
- Identify the recruitment channel specified by the company and check the domain or authorised provider.
- Check the role, workplace, category and date, and whether applications are still open.
- Read the conditions, experience, education and availability required in the advert.
- Prepare a version of your CV that prioritises the skills you have that are genuinely relevant to the role.
- Complete the required details in the application system and save the confirmation if one is provided.
If you need to review your document before applying, see how to write a CV step by step. A complete application does not guarantee an interview, but it reduces avoidable mistakes.
Where to find official Cortefiel vacancies

How to access vacancies: Go to Be! Tendam and follow the links to the corporate vacancy portals. Open the specific vacancy, check that it is listed under Cortefiel and apply through the platform.

Types of jobs at Cortefiel
The areas below describe roles associated with the company; they are not a list of vacancies currently open. Check which roles are being recruited for when you search:
In-store customer service
The sales team advises customers, keeps products organised and may help with the tills, fitting rooms or restocking, depending on the store.
Store managers and assistant managers
Management roles typically involve leading teams, organising shifts, analysing sales and overseeing the store. Some vacancies require previous experience.
Product, design and buying
Tendam also advertises roles in product, design, buying and distribution at its head office. The education and requirements differ from those for retail roles.
Digital and logistics roles
Omnichannel management, operations and logistics are part of the group’s activities, and vacancies are published on the corporate portal.
Requirements for working at Cortefiel
There is no single set of requirements for every department. These checks can help you decide whether you are a good fit for a vacancy:
- Check whether the vacancy is for Cortefiel, another brand or Tendam’s central services.
- Check the workplace, location, hours and contract duration specified in the advert.
- For customer-facing roles, highlight genuine sales and problem-solving skills.
- For management roles, check whether experience leading teams, working with KPIs and organising a store is required.
If the advert lists essential requirements, do not replace them with general advice. A technical or regulated role may require specific qualifications that are not needed for a retail role.
Can you work at Cortefiel with no experience?
It depends on the role and recruitment announcement. Some entry-level roles value the ability to learn, while management, engineering, finance or specialist driving roles may require previous experience. It would be misleading to promise that you can get a job with no experience in every case.
If you have not worked before, include placements, projects, education, languages and skills that you can substantiate. Avoid presenting a personal aspiration as a requirement supposedly published by the company.
Cortefiel’s recruitment process
Go to Be! Tendam and follow the links to the corporate vacancy portals. Open the specific vacancy, check that it is listed under Cortefiel and apply through the platform. Tendam itself states that it does not accept CVs in person at stores for some recruitment processes, so prioritise the digital application method specified.
If your application progresses, check who contacts you and how. If you are invited to an interview or assessment, prepare real examples of tasks, problem-solving or achievements relevant to the role. The advert or recruitment team will determine the stages.
Pay and working conditions
Tendam advertises different types of contract and working hours; the salary for a manager cannot be assumed to apply to sales roles. Check the conditions in the advert and the contract documents.
When considering an offer, it is worth confirming the gross pay, working hours, possible shifts, workplace, contract type and any additional payments. Third-party reviews or historical figures from another country are no substitute for the employment information in the advert.
Cortefiel, Tendam and other brands: how to tell them apart
Cortefiel is the name of a specific retail chain, while Tendam is the corporate group. The careers portal lists vacancies for Springfield and women’secret, among others; check the brand shown on each vacancy.
How to prepare a CV for Cortefiel
An effective CV does not have to be lengthy. Identify the two or three main duties in the vacancy and provide evidence that you can carry them out. Give priority to the most relevant experience, not necessarily your entire work history.
- Use a professional headline related to the role, without overstating your experience.
- Include skills, tools, certificates and achievements you genuinely have.
- Check the spelling and your phone number and email address before applying.
- Use the requested file format and a recognisable file name for your CV.
- Avoid sharing additional personal documents through unverified links.
You can prepare a brief cover letter if the system allows it, explaining what appeals to you about the role and the specific skills you can offer.
Common mistakes when applying for a job
- Assuming a previous recruitment campaign is still open without checking the current deadline.
- Applying for a location or country other than the one where you want to work.
- Claiming to have certificates, experience or availability that you cannot demonstrate.
- Trusting job adverts that ask for upfront payments as a condition of hiring.
- Sending the same CV without tailoring it to roles with different responsibilities.
