TASK: DESCRIBING JOBS

Hi everyone!

    In this second task, we are going to speak about our labour experience, we are going to write a CV, to fill a job application form and many other things.

    Remember you must choose at least one of the proposed TASKS, so work on it, write it down and prepare a speech for the whole class.

Here are the different tasks:

1.-  In some paragraphs, try to describe your present job as well as your feelings while working on it.

2.-  Write your CV (Curriculum Vitae).  A curriculum structure could be like this: 

-Personal Details, -Education, -Experience, -Additional Information.

3.-  Build an application form and fill it with your personal and labour information in order to apply for a job which you are quite interested in.

4.-  In pairs, through questions and answers, build a dialogue asking for your jobs and giving as much information as possible about them.

5.-  You have just read an advert on the newspaper dealing with a job offer.  You have been on the dole for six months and you are really interested in getting a job immediately.  So, write an formal e-mail to the enterprise to offer yourself as the best person for the job as well as you try to get more details about the job asking for some additional information in a polite way.  The advertisement on the newspaper said like that:

"INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION is looking for personnel for its new branch in Spain.  If you are qualified as an accountant, a computer operator, a bilingual secretary or an engineer, we are interested in you.  Send your details and salary requirements to Richard Coll using our mail address:  clasedeingles@educaragon.org"

6.-  You have just met with a person who works in an outlet of your firm located in Madrid.  He/She is going to be your colleague since she/he works like you in a quite similar job and he/she is going to spent a week in your factory.  The purpose of the visit is to take profit from the ways of working in both factories.  So, through a dialogue you are going to interchange ideas, expectations and possible goals to improve the possibilities of your work and your firm.
After this week, your boss will ask you for a draft with all the conclusions and your interesting labour findings, so try to put your ideas as best as you can in a written draft exposing everything.

    

My personal advice is you try to do a different format that you did it in the previous task, I mean if you have already made a dialogue in TASK 1: Describing people, try with a composition, an application form, a CV or perhaps with an e-mail in this TASK 2: Describing jobs.

All the best,

Loli
