Getting the job of your dreams

Today we will finish our application letters. I was amazed to read your letters... We have a class of highly talented, qualified and experienced people !!!

Take the time today to check your application letter carefully. Make the corrections and check with me before typing up the final draft. I will need both your first and final drafts for your assessment.

Go to the following links on Video Jug to hear more about what to do in a job interview. As listening practice, listen to each question on the page I have provided you, and write brief notes - a few words or phrases - to answer each question. Listen as many times as you need to by using the controls to stop and rewind each track . Listen without reading, then read the transcripts below as you listen again. Try to work out the meaning of new words from the context BEFORE looking in your dictionary, and add them to the New Word list.

The Job Interview
The Interview Questions
Surviving an Interview

When your done, take a look at any other videos in Video Jug that might be of interest.

Have you been adding to your blog? If you have set up a blog, show it to me so we can link it to our class blog.

Let's see some writing in your blogs!!! Tell us about your first job, or about job interviews you've had.

Enjoy your day!!!
