EXCELLENT RESUME
1. You are seeking for a job but you don't know how to write a good resume. Mr. Green is in the same situation. An expert of Recruitment Agency provides him with some advice in this sphere. Read the notes by Ashleigh Morris ("The Career Forum"). Consult the vocabulary given below for better comprehension. Think over the structure of future resume using advice Mr. Green has got recently.
What is it a right resume?
So, Mr. Green, you are going after a good position, you have a clear career objective and are ready to contact Human Resource Agency, but you haven't your resume written.
A resume is an introduction, one page, one short chance at proving you are a qualified and experienced candidate who should be hired by a company. It wraps up all your life experiences, needs to be professional, to the point and perfect. A resume must present a clear picture of the candidate. For this you should know what a potential employer expects.
They look at a person's experience with a company, how long the person has worked for a company or to see if he is a "job jumper". The person should be able to present himself in a resume. Your resume must be right, standard format, typed. To offer details about spouses and children is not necessary and not professional.
So what should be in a resume?
Begin with the basics. Your name, address and phone (fax) number should always go at the top of your resume. There is no need to include the words "resume" or "c/v" — they take up precious space.
State a resume objective. It should be below the name, address and phone number and be a clear and concise job objective. Using it forces you to tailor your resume to a particular position or company, as well as provides an immediately clear sense of direction to those people who will be reviewing your resume. The main objective of your writing a resume — to demonstrate your abilities for a particular position — so state it clearly at the top. Focus on the position and career path you are going after, and state exactly what you want. It should be more than "Objective: To work in a challenging environment."
Talk about your accomplishments in your "Experience" section. Focus on achievements at your present and previous jobs, especially those that involve problem-solving, management skills, critical thinking and initiative. These should be listed chronologically, beginning with your most recent position and then moving through previous jobs, as long as they provide applicable experience to the position you are seeking. Always use action verbs in your job description: words like "administered", "analyzed", "coordinated", "evaluated", "negotiated", "reviewed" and "supervised" offer a stronger presentation of your abilities. But keep the description short and to the point, and also make sure everything listed is relevant.
Include a section about your education, list it before your experience only if your educational history is stronger than your work background. This is often best for first-time job seekers who don't have much work experience. Make sure to list any additional courses you have taken that might be relevant to the job you are seeking, including specific company training programs or language courses.
Personal data should be included in a short section at the end of your resume. Including information about your marital status, number of children, health and physical characteristics is always unnecessary. Include such categories as language fluency, extensive travel history or specific computer skills. Don't include references in your resume.

BUSINESS LETTER, FAX MESSAGE
1. You want to send a business letter but you don't know the rules how to do it, and whether it differs from a personal letter or not. Read the notes by Mrs. Anderson who has been working for 5 years as Sales Manager at the well-known company.
The layout of the business letter differs in some respects from that of the personal letter.
Not only the sender's address is given (as in personal letter) but also the name and address of the person or organization to which the letter is being sent. This is written on the left-hand side of the page against the margin slightly lower than the date (which is on the opposite side). It should be the same as the name and address on the envelope.
A letter written to a man should be addressed to, for example, Mr. D. Smith or to D. Smith Esq. (Esquire). A letter to a woman, should be addressed to, for example, Mrs. C. Jones or Miss C. Jones. If you do not know the name of the person for whom your letter is intended you may address it directly to the company, e.g.:
The Branded Boot Co.Ltd.,
5 Rubberheel Road,
Wellingborough,
Northants,
England.
Co.and Ltd.are the usual abbreviations for Companyand Limited.However it's better to address your letter to some individual — The Managing Director, The Personnel Manager, The Secretary, The Branch Manager, The Export Manager — followed by the name of the company.
If the person you are writing to is known to you, you should begin with, for example, Dear Mr. Thompson, Dear Mrs. Warren, etc. Otherwise you should begin Dear Sir(s), Dear Madam, or Gentlemen: (Am.). Note that Gentlemen is followed by a colon.
The body of the business letter usually includes: a) Reference, b) Information, c) Purpose, d) Conclusion.
You should begin your letter with a referenceto a letter you have received, an advertisement you have seen, or an event which has prompted the writing of your letter.
e.g.: Thank you for your letter of May 3rd. In your letter of January 13th you inquire about ....
It was a great pleasure to receive your letter of July 1st that.....I recently called your agent in this country to ask about .... but he was unable to help me.
It is sometimes necessary to add some detailed information related to the reference, in a subsequent paragraph.
Purposeis the most important part of the letter, where you are expected to state clearly and concisely what you want and answer carefully and clearly all the questions that you have been asked.
Conclusionusually consists of some polite remark to round the letter off.
e.g.: I look (I am looking) forward to hearing from you soon.
I sincerely hope you will be able to help me in this matter.
I should greatly appreciate an early reply.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the trouble this mistake has caused you.
We apologize sincerely for the trouble caused to you, and will take all possible steps to ensure that such a mistake does not occur.
Then usually follows the complimentary close.If you begin your letter with Dear Sir(s) or Dear Madam you may end it with the words “Yours faithfully”. If you address a person by name the words “Yours sincerely” are preferable. There is a modern tendency however to use “Yours sincerely” even to people you have never met.
The signature:sign you name clearly, in full, as it should appear on the envelope of the letter addressed to you.
The connectivesplay an outstanding role in writing a business letter. They are used for better comprehension of the contents.
e.g.: Owing to, Unfortunately, However, We should be delighted, We do hope, It is possible that, We should be pleased, For this reason, We regret about, Taking into account that, Hopefully.
Summarizing all the above said it should be stressed that any business letter can be written using the following general scheme:
1. Heading (writer's address, date of the letter).
2. Inside address (name and address of the person or company receiving the letter).
3. Greeting (Dear Sir:).
4. Body of the letter (reference, information, purpose, conclusion).
5. Closing or complimentary close (saying good-bye).
6. Signature.
2. Read the words and word-combinations for better comprehension.
| margin — поле (страницы) | apologize — извиняться |
| envelope — конверт | take steps — принимать меры |
| address — адресовать | occur (about the mistake) — случаться (об ошибке) |
| intend — иметь намерение | Yours faithfully — Искренне Ваш |
| otherwise — в противном случае | Yours sincerely — Искренне Ваш |
| colon — двоеточие | owing to— благодаря |
| prompt — заставлять | unfortunately— к сожалению |
| inquire — выяснять | be delighted— быть в восхищении |
| be unable — быть не в состоянии | regret — сожалеть |
| subsequent — последующий | take into account — принимать во внимание |
| polite — вежливый | cause trouble — вызвать не приятности |
| accept apologies — принять извинения |
3. You have found different parts of many letters. Choose what phrases you should use: a) at the beginning of a business letter; b) in the middle; c) at the end. Complete the phrases where it is necessary.

EXCELLENT RESUME
1. You are seeking for a job but you don't know how to write a good resume. Mr. Green is in the same situation. An expert of Recruitment Agency provides him with some advice in this sphere.
