Writing A Cv For A Particular Job Ad.

In the previous lecture, we discussed how a CV can be evaluated in terms of its content. In this lecture, we go through the journey of a job applicant by applying for a real job. Specifically, we study the job ad for a teaching job, and we write a CV for this particular job. We therefore implement a google search for relevant information about the school and its history, and we use this information in our CV writing task. The focus in this exercise is not just the content or the format of a CV, but the whole experience of applying for a real job.

Evaluating Cvs - Content

In this lecture, we study the content of a good CV and we highlight the most important elements that should be present in a CV. The students are given tools they can use to evaluate the content of their own CVs in relation to the job advertisement or the requirements specified in an MA degree application. In particular, we study a translation job ad and discuss its content. Subsequently, we highlight the most important skills and qualifications that need to be present in a good CV to be submitted for this particular job opportunity.

Evaluating Your Cv

In this lecture, students are given the tools to evaluate their own CVs. The content aspect is discussed briefly in this lecture, while much attention is paid to the appropriate format of a CV. A CV format is evaluated by ensuring that it is free of any spelling or grammatical mistakes, the same font is used throughout the whole CV, and that chronological order is followed especially under the categories of education and the previous work experience. Students are given the opportunity to collectively evaluate completed CVs in terms of format and consistency.
