CV
A CV or curriculum vitae is a marketing tool. With your CV you will be able to promote yourself. Imagine that the CV as being a brochure that will list the benefits of a particular service. When writing a CV look at it from your employers point of view. A CV is an essential tool in your job search. When applying for a vacancy you generally first have to send your CV to present yourself to the prospective employer.
A CV consists of heading, skills, objective, education, professional experience, activities or interests.
In CV Heading you can write your general information: name, surname, local address, e-mail address, phone number. The Skills Summary section of your CV includes your main skills. You should only include keywords in this section. The CV Objective states “What is my next step in my career?” this should be a short statement that informs the employer what kind of position you are looking for. List all your qualifications in the Education section. Include all of your education including certifications from non-academic institutions especially that are related to this job vacancy. If you have more work experience than qualifications, put your work experience before your qualifications. The section Professional Experience includes any work experience that you have in the field you are applying for. Even if the post is unpaid, voluntary, summer job, internship, co-op experience or extracurricular activity. Each job detail should include the following basic information: title of position, length you held the post, responsibilities, name of organization. Any activities that you do in your free time, can be related to your job. If you worked in the school paper it shows initiative and you are willing to take sacrifices in order to further your career.
RESUME
Regardless of your experience, qualifications and intelligence, you’ll need to apply for jobs and pass through that all important selection procedure. To apply for a job you must write a resume. The resume is made up of: an accurate summary of credentials, education, achievements, job experience and goals. It show flow naturally and be easily read.
A resume should contain accurate information. For this reason, it’s a good idea to keep the resume updated after each major task or qualification’s received.
All resumes typically contain sections that highlight education and work experience. Often a summary of qualifications section is used to provide the reader with an overview of the competences. Also many people find it helpful to begin a resume with an objective so that the reader has a reference point by which to understand the strengths and experience.
Typical resume sections are contact information, summary of qualifications, education, skills, and work experience. Optional sections are objectives, technical skills, awards, publications and so on.
Task 12. Look through the Reference Letter and choose the points mentioned in it.

April 10, 1998
Subject: Reference Letter for Mr. James Miller
To Whom It May Concern:
James worked under my supervision as an editorial assistant from September 10, 1997, until April 5, 1998. His responsibilities included conducting research and interviews, fact checking, and writing brief front-of-the-book pieces, in addition to some clerical duties. During the course of his employment, James proved himself to be an able employee, a hard worker, and a talented writer.
I was quite impressed by James' ability to complete all work assigned to him on time, if not before it was due. His research was always thorough and comprehensive, and his fact checking always accurate. We sometimes allow our editorial assistants to do some writing, but James' talents prompted us to assign him more pieces than the norm. His writing is clear, concise, and evocative.
Overall, James is a very conscientious and able employee. I certainly believe he has what it takes to make a wonderful editor someday, and I am sad to see him leave. I strongly recommend James for any mid-level editorial position in publishing.
Sincerely,
Edward P. Larkin
Executive Editor
