The rest of your career starts here

Last week we looked at what to do to prepare for an interview and how to behave in an interview. We searched for advice on the internet and found a lot of great tips. Today, I'd like you to go to one of the following job search websites:

Seek
MyCareer
Career One

Choose an advertisement for a job that you could have in the near future. Read the job description carefully. Think about the type of person that they are looking for and the skills, qualifications and experience they need for this position. Write an application letter for this job, using the structure and expressions that we have looked at over the past weeks.

Are YOU who they need?

Put together a letter of application. Set it out correctly. Show your interest in the job. Look at some examples but write about yourself. Be realistic about yourself and put in enough to show them your skills, qualifications, experience and interests. But not too much detail - that goes in your resume!!! We'll look at resumes later.

Once you have had the letter checked by me, you can print off the final draft.

How did you find that? Write about it in your blog. What? You're new to the class and you don't have one yet? Well, we can fix that in a flash!

Good luck with your future job seeking!!!
