Looking for work?

Before you start looking for a job ask yourself the following questions:

• what would be your ideal job?
• do you want full time work?
• or do you want part time work?
• do you want to work for a big company?
• or do you want to work for a smaller company?
• do you need more training to do your ideal job?

You need to make sure your C.V. is up-to-date before you go looking for work. Remember the contents should include:

• your life history
• your job history
• your achievements
• your skills

When you apply for a job you will need to send in your C.V. to the organization before you go for an interview. So remember its contents should promote you. Your C.V. should be sent with a covering letter which is a much briefer account of your personal statement and should include at least one example of a personal achievement. The covering letter also shows the employer your writing skills.
