"2. SWISS Explorer application process
The application and selection process for the SWISS Explorer job comprises 4 phases. All 4 phases must be completed successfully and the contract of employment offered by SWISS to the winner of the fourth phase accepted in order for the applicant concerned to be appointed to the position of “The SWISS Explorer”. The application and selection process is explained in detail in the following.

Phase 1: Open application
Each applicant uploads his application documents on to the microsite (https://www.theswissexplorer.com). The upload process defined on the microsite (https://www.theswissexplorer.com) applies. A full application comprises a current “selfie” (self-portrait photo), an application letter, a current curriculum vitae, references from a report on the best travel/holiday experience the applicant has had as well as a video portrait of the applicant’s qualifications detailing his suitability for the position as SWISS Explorer.

The applications submitted will be examined and assessed by a jury. The judging process will be conducted behind closed doors in early June 2014. 7 candidates will be invited to a second application phase.

Additionally, 3 further candidates for the second application phase will be determined by way of public voting via an individual Facebook login. The winners of the public voting are those 3 candidates receiving the most votes for their video portrait on the microsite (https://www.theswissexplorer.com). Within the framework of the voting process in application phase 1, the submission of multiple votes is possible, but no more than 1 vote per applicant. The voting process will end on 1 June 2014 at 12.00 midnight Central European Time.

Phase 2: Application interviews round 1
The candidates for phase 2 determined in phase 1 will be invited to an assessment day. Each candidate will be offered two dates for the assessment day. If an applicant is unable to attend on either of the dates proposed, replacement candidates will be nominated. If an applicant nominated by the jury in phase 1 is affected by this, a further applicant nominated by the jury will take his place. If a candidate selected via public voting is affected by this, the candidate with the next-highest number of votes will take his place. The judging process will be conducted behind closed doors in early June 2014.
The applicants invited will be interviewed by SWISS and will be given problems to solve. The jury then selects 3 to 5 candidates to attend a further round of interviews. The selection process will be conducted behind closed doors in the first half of June 2014.

Phase 3: Application interviews round 2
The 3 to 5 candidates selected from phase 2 will each be invited to a further application interview.
Once the 2nd round of interviews has been completed, the internal SWISS jury selects the candidates (provisionally 3, subject to change) for the final application round. Prior fundamental agreement on a contract of employment must be reached between SWISS and the potential finalist before the candidate can move on to application phase 4. The selection process and the contractual negotiations will be conducted behind closed doors in the second half of June 2014.

Phase 4: Final selection process
The finalists selected in phase 3 will then fly to a destination stipulated by SWISS, where they will be given a task to perform and will then report on this in their capacity as potential SWISS Explorer. If a finalist selected is unable to attend the final session, the jury reserves the right to nominate behind closed doors a further applicant from phase 3 to replace the finalist concerned.

The reports on the finalists’ experiences will be published on the microsite (https://www.theswissexplorer.com).provisionally on 23 June 2014 and the public asked to vote on them. The final voting process will end on 30 June 2014 at 9.00 a.m. Central European Time. In the voting process of application phase 4, voters from phase 1 may also vote again but as before only on a 1-vote-per-applicant basis. The candidate whose work result receives the most votes on the microsite (https://www.theswissexplorer.com) is considered to have won the final pubic voting. The appointment as SWISS Explorer will only be valid, however, if the contract of employment defined in phase 3 is signed by the winner."
