CVs and Cover Letters

Task: Before reading the CV tips made by employers, predict what you think they
will say by filling in the blanks.

There are several things we're looking for in a good CV. First of all, making
sure it's well presented and there are no _____________ _______________.
You'd be surprised the number of CVs we receive with this.

You want to be able to look at a CV and get a picture of what that person's
____________, ____________, and what their ___________ are without
going into too much detail. You don't want to wade through lots of this. That's
what the interviews for.

And often, it's the most ___________, ___________, and focused applications
that go furthest. What we definitely don't want to see is seven pages of long CVs,
of all your work experience from dog walking, and paper rounds, through to your
summer job in a cafe.

They should ___________ __________ about the skills that they don't have and
those that they do. And when highlighting the skills that they don't have, explain
why they might not be on their resume right now, but that they actually
___________ ___________ ___________ them.

Think about the thing that makes you ______________ to the 2000 other bits
of paper that are going to hit our desks. What's going to make us kind of sit up
and look at your application? One thing.

Show that they’re a well-rounded person and have ____________


____________ on there. They might be interested in sport, or cinema, or
travelling, or something like that. That's quite important, as well.

The important thing is to try and _____________ it to the industry you're going into.
For example, if you were going to go into law, you'd probably need to be detail-
oriented and analytical. If you were going to go into engineering, you might need to
be a good problem solver.
