Applying for a job Text

1. Phoning for an application form

Before calling make a list of any questions you want to ask. Also, keep a pen and notepad besides the phone to write down details.

2. Filling in an application form

It is useful to do this on another piece of paper first. That way you can change and improve your answers before filling in the form itself. Also, keep a record of your final answers. It saves you time if you need to complete other forms in the future.

3. Writing a letter of application

Three tips here: 1. Write or type as clearly as possible.

2. Keep the letter brief and factual.

3. Print your name underneath your signature, like this...

Covering letter

Dear sir or madam!

I graduated from Krasnoyarsk state university in 1999. Now I am finishing my post-graduate studies to defend my candidate thesis this winter. My major is called the theory of literature, which includes the study of the history of Russian and foreign literature.

I am interested in working in the Russian department of your university as the teacher of Russian and Russian literature. In high school I gained experiences teaching Russian for foreign students. In your department I could assist in the teaching grammar, conduct a class in Russian conversation or give lectures on Russian literature.

If you are interested, please write me at the above address. I will look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

J. Black

4. Resume
