Job Hunting
Employment Applications
Everyone who applies for a job (an applicant) must submit an application. An employment application is useful in collecting factual information on a candidate’s education, work experience, and personal history. The data obtained from applications are usually used for two purposes: to identify candidates who are worthy of further scrutiny and to familiarize interviewers with applicant’s backgrounds. A typical employment application represents a special form to be filled in.

Resumes
Many job candidates submit resumes to employers, and some firms require them. A resume is a short summary of the candidate’s background and qualifications. It includes a description of the type of job the applicant is seeking. A resume may be submitted along with an employment application. In Britain a resume is often referred to as a curriculum vitae (CV). The structure of a resume must follow a certain order:
Letter of Inquiry (Covering Letter)
It’s extremely impolite to send a resume without a covering letter in the USA. A covering letter or cover letter must be written in the standard business style and in one page. A cover letter is an integral part of the American business-etiquette showing that the bearer of the resume sends it deliberately to get particular position. A cover letter makes possible for the bearer to show his/her certain abilities and skills.
Thank-You Letter
In all American companies there is a tradition to write a “thank you letter” after each meeting with the employer. If the company does not receive such letter it’ll mean that the person does not know the principles of business-etiquette. Now this practice is spread in Russia too.
Interviews
The employment interview is the most widely used selection technique.

Interviews provide an opportunity for the firm and the applicant to learn more about each other. Interviewers can ask different questions to learn something about the candidate’s attitude to the job and motivation.

Very often interviewers ask questions to different applicants and it becomes impossible to compare candidates’ qualifications. The problem can be solved through the use of structural interviews. A structural interview is an interview in which an interviewer asks a prepared set of questions.
2. Mark the following statements as true (T) or false (F).

An employment application is useful in:
1. leaving the work
2. collecting information on a candidate
3. seeking a job

The data obtained from applications are usually used:
1. to identify candidates who are worthy of further scrutiny
2. to get to know candidates’ characters
3. to familiarize interviewers with applicant’s backgrounds

A resume is:
1. a candidate’s testimonial
2. a detailed description of the job the applicant is seeking
3. a short summary of the candidate’s background and qualifications

3. Choose the correct endings for the statements.

It’s extremely impolite to send a resume without:
1. a letter of inquiry
2. a letter of invitation
3. a cover letter

A cover letter makes possible for the bearer to show:
1. his/her appearance
2. his/her certain abilities and skills
3. his/her views

If the company does not receive a “thank you letter” it will mean that:
1. the job does not suit the employee
2. the person does not know the principles of business-etiquette
3. the employee will call and thank the employer

4. Match the English and Russian instructions for writing a covering letter.

1.State your reason for writing	a) Поблагодарите за внимание. Сообщите, что надеетесь получить ответ.
2.You will either inquire whether any positions are available or you will say which position you are applying for. If you are applying for a specific position identify the source of the information (a person, a newspaper, including date, etc.)	б) Опишите своё образование и профессиональный опыт. Особое внимание уделите тем положениям своего резюме, которые наилучшим образом связаны с местом, на которое Вы претендуете.
3.Describe your educational background and professional experience. Focus on those things from your resume that best relate to the position you are applying for.	в) Укажите, что Вы прилагаете своё резюме и/или другие необходимые материалы. Выразите желание предоставить дополнительную информацию и пройти собеседование.
4.Say you are enclosing your resume and/or other supporting material. State your willingness to provide more information and to be interviewed.	г). Вы запрашиваете, имеются ли в наличии какие-либо вакансии, либо сообщаете, каким рабочим местом Вы интересуетесь. Если Вас интересует конкретное место, назовите источник информации (человек, объявление в газете с указанием даты и т.д.)
5.Thank them for their consideration. Say you look forward to hearing from them.	д) Сформулируйте цель письма

5.Read and translate the following cover letter. Pay attention to the underlined expressions.

Dear Sir/Madam:

The analyst position, which was advertised on May 11 with the Career Opportunities Center at Tver State University, is a perfect match for my career goals. The position seems to fit very well with my education and experience as well. I am genuinely interested in Atlantic Company, not only because of its entrepreneurial culture and numerous strategic alliances in the industry, but also because of its mission to be a leader in applying cutting edge technology to solve complex business problems. Your position requires experience in computer systems, financial applications software, and end-user consulting. With an undergraduate major in management information systems, I have training on mainframes, minicomputers, and microcomputers as well as with a variety of software programs and applications. My practical experience in my university’s computer center as a programmer and as a student consultant for system users gave me valuable exposure to complex computer operations.

Would you please consider my request for a personal interview to discuss further my qualifications and to learn more about this opportunity? I shall call you next week to see if a meeting can be arranged. Should you need to reach me, please feel free to call me at 683-4388. If I am not in, please leave a message on my answering machine and I will return your call within a day.

Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to speaking with you.

Sincerely,

(Written signature)

Ivan Ivanov
