Unit I looking for a job

1. What sources can you use to find a job?

2. What documents should you prepare applying for a job?

3. What is important, to your mind, to get a job?

Task I. Read and translate the text.

If you want to get a job, you will have to invest time and effort preparing yourself for employment. There are five stages in the job search.

Self-Evaluation

Research about the Employer

Curriculum Vitae

The Covering Letter/Application Letter

A Follow-Up Letter

The employment process must begin with introspection, that is looking inside yourself at different angles. You should start with identifying your interests, evaluating your qualifications. To fulfill this step it may be useful to answer the following questions:

  • What are you looking for: money, power, prestige, security, travel opportunities, spare time?

  • How important is salary, environment, benefits and job stability?

  • Do you enjoy working with people, information or things?

  • Is it important to be your own boss?

  • What is your idea of a perfect job? A perfect boss? A perfect colleague?

To make this step take a piece of paper and divide it into three columns and honestly write down your:

a) academic strengths and abilities, e.g. good at mathematics, at computers, speak three languages etc.;

b) skills, such as: management, communication, research and technical skills, typing, etc.;

c) personality or character traits, including: creativity, energy, patience, friendliness, etc.

This thorough self-assessment will help you to look inside and analyze yourself, to determine if you are the right person for the job advertised. It will allows you to realize what you like and dislike, and what kind of work you really want to do.

After you have found an ad in a paper or at a career center, it's recommended to find out as much as possible about the company to which you are going to apply. You must know what kind of work the company does, the number of employees, offices location etc. The more familiar you're with the company, the better you will be able to make your CV to appeal to their needs and interests.

Task II. Before reading a text how to compose a CV, choose the most suitable tips for CV preparing.

1. Make your CV as long as possible.

2. Emphasize your accomplishments and achievements.

3. Adapt your CV to the information you’ve gathered about the employer and the job you want.

4. Use rambling sentences and long paragraphs.

5. Avoid the pronoun “I”. Describe your skills and capabilities by using as many specific words as possible.

6. Don’t sign or date the CV.

7. Mention as many qualification as possible, even those you don’t possess.

8. Have someone read your CV before completing the final copy. Objective readers can make suggestions for improvements.

9. Place headings at the left side of the page, and the details relating to them on the right side.

10. Type the parts of your CV close to each other without leaving white spaces between them, leave narrow margins.
