In pairs, make up a crazy CV for this person using the information you have just listened to. The funnier, the better! Share your ideas with the rest of the class. Creating your CV: Basic personal details Work in pairs and talk about what you should include in your basic personal details. Write down notes to fill out the top part of the Europass word document you found on the Internet. Make a list of schools with dates attended and qualifications gained at each school above age 10 (= secondary school). Work in pairs and discuss and write down where and when you went to schools. (Add start and end dates: month and year). Then make a list next to each school of the number of subjects you passed on your school leaving certificate and at what level you passed them. Make a list of all the places you have worked. In groups of 2 or 3 discuss and write down where and when you had a job, starting with your most recent job first. (Also add start and end dates: month and year). Discuss and make a note of all your responsibilities and duties in each job. Collect all your certificates together that you have. Put them in reverse date order. With a partner discuss how they should be presented. E.g. should all your skiing certificates come under “various ski certificates (date to date)” or simply “various sporting certificates” (date to date) for all your gymnastic, skiing, tennis, football and swimming certificates. What do they say about you and your personality? Think about your hobbies and free-time activities. With a partner discuss if any of them show you have work related skills that demonstrate your personality and extra abilities for a future employer. Your unique qualities and abilities/soft skills In groups discuss and write down anything else that makes you special. Your colleagues in the group will be able to see qualities and abilities in you that you may not realise: … things that make you a unique person.
