13. Прочитайте текст о правилах составления резюме.

Now the graduates of higher institutions are not send to any enterprises, they are searching for a job themselves. The indispensable part of the process is preparing a resume. Without a proper resume you won’t get a high-level job. Your resume should reflect your professional experience; you should point what is your objective; what kind of position do you want; what abilities qualify you for this job. You should tell about your strengths and experiences, which will let you do that job. Your strengths should be given more space. Other information could be left out. Sometimes it is rather difficult to decide what to stress and what to leave out. An employer’s main interest is in what you can do for the company. Include information that shows that you are the right kind of person for the job. Leave out everything that might give an employer reason for passing you by.

At the time of its foundation the institute had only two departments: Road Construction and Automobiles with the total number of students of 280 people. Later, in August 1931 two faculties were established: the Road Construction Faculty with 10 chairs and the Automobile Transport Faculty with 8 chairs. The first rector of the institute was Nikita Gerassimovitch Gladkov.

During World War II about 300 students and instructors took part in the military actions. The teaching staff and the students of the institute raised enough money to build a battle plane and a tank, and to buy warm clothes for the soldiers. During the War they also worked 12 hours every other day at one of Omsk factories.

Many outstanding scientists – professors, doctors of sciences worked at this institute. Among them are Bykov, Rybyev, Ulyanov, Anokhin, Golovin, Alexeyeva, Tolmachev, Artemyev, Kudryavtchev and others. Their works are translated into many languages of the world.

At present Professor V. A. Salnikov is the Rector of the Academy.
