Job interview - A class project

 Our project for this unit is going to be a job interview. To make it as real as possible, you are going to write your own CV/ resume and a cover letter. You will have to bring it to Emmi's class next week. Apart from this, there's something else you need to do. On the Internet, you have to find a job advertisement that you'd like to apply for. Why not your dream job?  Remember: Impossible is nothing! Print it and bring it to class together with your CV and cover letter.

Emmi will tell us all about how to work on them so that they are practical, straight to the point, and veeery professional.

THE TASK:
 
In class, we have given you two templates. One for your COVER LETTER, and one for your RESUME. Clicking the words you can download them in case you need them again.

Emmi's presentation:





Emmi has also shown you on the board a projection of two samples. A COVER LETER,and a RESUME again. These are her examples, but just like she said, feel free to look for other samples on the Internet until you find one that works perfectly well for you.

I found this presentation surfing the net, and I thought you may find it interesting. It's a step by step guide to creating your CV in an original and unique way. And what's more, you'll be able to follow a thorough plan to target those you'd like to impress. There's also a practical example of how the author, who is a designer, successfully made his way to his dream job. ENJOY!


So for next class with Emmi remember to bring... 

Your resume
Your cover letter
Your add (a dream job you'd love to apply for)
Do your research on the company you want to work for
