28、n hire others to do your job. The first sentence of the Guide sets the “tone” and is recommended for use in your version.

Repeat the reading to each other using only the key words. Practice several times and remember to smile!ScaffoldingStep 3 Here are some background ideas about

34、 Rsums and CVs as used in Western Corporations. Read them first.The Difference Between Rsums and CVs These two names describe the same document and they both have the same purpose, although there are technical differences. “Rsum” is the name mostly used by the US and Canadian companies. Britain and

35、other English-speaking countries tend to use “Curriculum Vitae”(CV). Non-English-speaking foreign companies operating in China will expect job applicants to submit an English- language Rsum with their job applications and interviews are conducted in English.Part twoCommunication Skill TrainingStep 1

36、 It is considerable to list more skills in your Rsum than you express in the interview. Your Rsum should be clear and above all it should be brief. For newgraduates, the Rsum should not be more than 1 page. It is your most important job hunting document and will be updated from time to time during y

37、our whole career. Another important point is that your Rsum is competing with manyothersperhaps hundreds of. It takes great effort to produce a Rsum that stands out and says to the employer: “I must invite this young man/woman into the office for an interview”.Part twoCommunication Skill TrainingSte

38、p 2 Equally important, is the Cover Letter. You should never send your Rsum to an employer without one. Until you add some work experience, your Rsum will remain unchanged for many job applications. The Cover Letter will change for every job application and should highlight the skills and grades/sub

39、jects that seem most relevant to the position you are applying for. Remember, the Cover Letter is your first point of contact with the employer and importantly lets you address the employer by name. In general, a personal photograph should appear in the top right corner ofyour Rsum. It is a good ide

40、a to use a Rsum photograph that is taken for this purpose. Part twoCommunication Skill TrainingStep 2You should not use your student ID or drivers licence photograph for your Rsum as these require you to be serious and without a smile. Your student ID photograph taken when you were a freshman will b

41、e out-of-date by the time you graduate. You want to have a “young adult who is ready for work” image, not a childish image. A suitable photograph will be “head and shoulders” with a pleasant expression which could be described as a “partial smile”. It should be full face but not look like an ID pict

42、ure. Typeface and font size should be considered carefully. Ariel typeface is themost popular for your Rsum. It is particularly easy to read on screen. Font size11 or 12 fits on one page. The text should be “justified”, i.e. right margin should be straight.Part twoCommunication Skill TrainingStep 2

43、Do you have some other ideas about the job interview? Try to find more information about it on the Internet and discuss interview taboos with your partner.Part twoCommunication Skill TrainingStep 3 When you are fully confident about the speaking requirements for interview questions, proceed to the R
