Spot the CV Mistakes 

Nezapomeňte, ze je třeba zdůraznit zkusenosti a schopnosti, které jsou podstatné pro práci, o níz zádáte, zejména ty, které jste nabyli a rozvinuli v předchozích zam 848l1110i 3;stnáních. To je pro zaměstnavatele daleko zajímavějsí nez výčet úkolů a povinností, které jste měli. Jako praxi můzete uvést i prázdninové brigády:

J. Courtis Vacation jobs - very important, things that you were elected to at

college - if your peer group has elected you or even if the teaching staff

have chosen you to do things. That's a substitute for work experience.

Emma: And it shows leadership quality.

J. Courtis:   Yes - and if the vacation jobs have done well and they invite you back

next year - then it's almost as good as re-hiring decision in a totally

normal work sample.

V následující scénce byste měli zachytit tři nejčastějsí chyby, které se objevují v zivotopisech. V hotelu Grand hledají vrchního, který bude zároveň schopen řídit restauraci.

V1 [Picks up CV] Have you seen this C.V.?

V2 No I haven't finished wading through this one yet. It's 7 pages long...

V1 Oh I wouldn't bother about that one. We don't really want to know the whole

story of their life. But this CV is quite interesting. This person's got a lot of

work experience.

V2 Unfortunately none of it as a waiter! Though I see they've worked as a writer

at the Deluxe Hotel. Now that's strange.... I didn't know the hotel employed

writers.

V1 I think you'll find that they meant 'waiter'. But the letter 'a' has become an

'r'.

V2 Well I don't think a writer would be much good at running a restaurant.

V1 OK so what's so special about the CV you're looking at?

V2 Well they've spelt waiter correctly...

V2 But have you noticed what they've written. Very long sentences and nothing

about their skills and achievements.

V1 I see what you mean.

V2 It says here: " Every day I set the tables with knives and forks and plates and

glasses and salt and pepper and napkin...

V2 [Interrupts a bit impatiently] OK I agree. They haven't explained anything

about managing people or running a restaurant. So what shall we do with

these two CVs then?

V1 Will you throw them in the bin or shall I?

1. First CV was 7 pages - far too long!

2. 'Waiter' was spelt as 'writer'

3. There were long sentences which didn't list relevant skills
