When you apply for a job, you’ll need to provide, or present, one or more of the following documents:
-
a resume (sometimes called a ‘curriculum vitae’ or CV). A good resume can win you interviews, so make sure yours is clear and attractive.
- a written application. Learn to write application letters and covering letters, and to fill in application forms neatly and appropriately.
- a portfolio. A portfolio is like a brochure for yourself. It shows examples of what you can do. It’s a job-winning document, so prepare your portfolio carefully.
But it's not all about paper work. Telephone communication is important, too. Know how to make ‘warm’ and ‘cold’ calls to potential employers.
