Unit 6 Job Hunting: reading a CV, writing my CV and story themes

Write your first CV in clear steps. Step 1: at the top write your name and your city (for practice, no phone number, email or address). Step 2: write a personal statement of two sentences: who you are and what you look for. Step 3: education: your school and your best subjects. Step 4: activities and volunteering: begin each line with an action verb in the past simple and add a fact or a number: Organised books for younger children every Saturday. Step 5: skills and languages: use short noun phrases (clear speaking, teamwork, careful counting). Use complete, clear sentences in the personal statement and short lines in the lists. Choose British spelling (organised) or American spelling (organized) and use the same one everywhere. References are optional at your age. Read your CV aloud, then check every verb and every capital letter.
