Recruitment

When a company needs to recruit new people, it advertises the job or position in a newspaper or magazine. People who are interested can apply for the job by sending in a letter of application and curriculum vitae (CV). These two documents are very important and should be well-written. Then the company draws up a shortlist of candidates and invites them to attend an interview, for which the candidates should prepare themselves. At the interview the candidate should create a good impression of himself.

Here are the examples of CV and a letter of application:
