MB: Your CV is the story of your education and professional life so far and contains personal details that are of interest to an employer. The application letter highlights why you are confident that you can do the job, based on your CV L: So it’s a good idea to send both. Is there a pattern I should use for putting my CV together and writing a good application letter? MB: There most certainly is. Firstly, writing your CV takes thought and time. It should be a complete record about you and what makes you special. Filling in the Europass word file, found on the internet with instructions, will help you to remember all those details in the best order. L: Are there any special tips about filling it in? MB: Yes, you must erase or replace any headings with your own information, so that it becomes YOUR special document. L: So it will show my personal details, education, work experience and extra abilities like computer or language skills. MB: Exactly. Plus, don’t forget to include your hobbies and free time activities. 01 A2–B1 02 A2 Word bank job vacancy offene Stelle unasked-for hier: blind application letter Bewerbungschreiben recruiting Rekrutierung job centre Arbeitsmarktservice CV = curriculum vitae Lebenslauf filling in a form Formular ausfüllen education Ausbildung work experience Berufserfahrung abilities Fähigkeiten skills Fertigkeiten 03 A2–B1 listening 5b2c96 Applying for a job Lukas successfully finished his apprenticeship a year ago.
