PREPARATORY WORK

Time flies, and one day you will have to seek for the job. It's evident that getting a job depends on many factors, among them writing correctly a job paper application, Curriculum Vitae (CV) or resume and your behavior during an interview. In this unit you'll learn how to write a letter of job application (or a cover letter), curriculum vitae (CV) – a detailed information about you, your education and qualification (5-8 pages), resume - a short written account of your education and past employment (one page usually). You have to write CV if you are an experienced applicant for a high position or for a job abroad.

Besides you'll be given some hints (advice) on how to behave during an interview.

HOW TO WRITE A RESUME

Always type it on unlined white paper, preferably a single sheet. Write your name, address and telephone number. Put your health record, date of birth and marital status. In the next section, note down your education. Put any qualifications оn the next line.

Next, detail your work history, starting with your most recent job. Give dates and describe your duties.

List hobbies and interests and put extra information in a separate section.

End by saying that two referees are available on request - not naming them leaves you free to choose the best ones for particular jobs. Remember the longer an application, the less chance it has of being read.

Never send a photo-copied letter - it looks like you don't care.
