Content
Write a list of important headings. These should include your name, date of birth, your address (and your e-mail address, if you have one), phone number (at work and at home), your work record and so on.
Start with your most recent job and work backwards.
Don’t leave out any vital information. If you spent a year or two traveling, say so. Years that are unaccounted for will seem suspicious.
Don’t include any negative information, such as exam failures or lost jobs. Be positive about yourself, but don’t lie or you will undermine yourself from the start.
Don’t ask for your CV to be returned; many companies keep CVs on file for future reference.

Dear Sir \ Madam,
I have heard about your organization from a friend, and am writing to apply for work with you this summer. I am interested in any jobs you may have, either as a tour guide, a sports coach or possibly restaurant work.
I am a twenty-year-old student (date of birth 12-th July, 1979), in my third year of a four year language course at Hamburg University. I speak three languages fluently (German, English and Spanish) and have had a full driving license for a year. I have no experience as a tour guide but have worked in various restaurants in Hamburg, and I am good at working with people. I am also a member of a university tennis team, and have been working as a tennis coach with children aged 12-14 for the last three years,
Please note that my university course finishes on 10-th June, so I will be available from then. If you want to phone me, you can contact me at home after six o’clock. Unfortunately I don’t have a fax number or e-mail address.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Iris Hauptmann
