Unit 4 resumes and interviews Text 1: Resume or curriculum vitae. Application form

When a person is eager to get a job he is often to fill in a resume (USA) or a curriculum vitae (UK) or a standard printed application form. The forms can be laid out in different ways but the information required will, in most cases, be the same.

The information give by the candidate in these papers will be helpful in assessing the candidate’s suitability for the post.

From the candidate’s point of view, this paper is the first impression the firm will obtain of him or her and therefore it is important that the candidate completes the paper clearly and carefully.

A curriculum vitae (CV) should usually contain the following information:

  • name

  • address

  • telephone

  • fax

  • e-mail

  • date of birth

  • place of birth

  • nationality

  • marital status

  • objective

  • education

  • work experience

  • languages

  • hobbies and interests

  • references (UK) of testimonials (US)

CVs or resumes as well as application forms will require the name and address of at least two individuals who can act as referees, which means those who can provide references. The referees may be contacted and asked whether or not they consider the applicant to the suitable for the post. The candidate may name a vicar, a doctor, or an old family friend as one of referees.

Normally, the firm will ask for the names of present or former employers or supervisors for whom the candidate has worked.
