О. В. Фролова english for
Adviser: How many jobs have you applied for?
Tom: Around sixty, but there are very few opportunities.
Adviser: Mm. Your qualifications are good and you’ve got a lot to offer. Have you ever thought about working in a call centre?
Tom: I’m not sure it is for me. I could not stay all day in an office. I’d rather have an outside job in a park or garden centre, but I’d prefer to work in a factory like before.
Adviser: Unfortunately there are very few vacancies in those areas.
Tom: Yes, I’ve got to be realistic, I suppose and it’s hard bringing up a family on unemployment benefit4. Tell me more about the call centre.
Adviser: Well, you would get proper training and learn some useful new skills…and there would be opportunities for promotion too.

EMPLOYMENT
Interviewer: So tell us about CVs, then, Marika. What are the key things they include?
Marika: Well, you should start with brief personal details, of course. You know, name, age, and so on. Marital status is OK too, but no names of children or pets.
Interviewer: And next comes education, I suppose?
Marika: Yeah. You ought to list the schools and institutions you’ve attended in chronological order. Make sure that the dates make sense. Don’t forget details of the qualifications you obtained. Remember to put your grades too.
Interviewer: I see. And would you advise people to include copies of their qualifications, and so on?
Marika: No, they don’t need to do that, not at this stage.
Interviewer: Right. Now for the part of the CV which deals with work experience. Should we go through this in chronological order or start with the more recent, current job first?
Marika: I would definitely say begin with the present or more recent job first. Then work backwards. Give a brief description of each job and try to list one or two achievements.
Interviewer: That’s hard if you’re still a student, isn’t it?
Marika: True, but you can still mention things like “I was secretary of the Anglo-German society” or give details of any part-time or holiday jobs.
Interviewer: One last question. What about a photograph?
Marika: Well, it can go on an application form or with a covering letter, but there’s no reason why you can’t put it on your CV. If I were a job seeker, I’d invest in a studio photograph – one that made me look as good as possible, rather than one from a machine. And, of course, never send a picture of you on the beach or at the party – people have sent me some amazing things!
