Переведите предложения, используя знания о структуре предложения.

1. If somebody is interested in the job, they are usually asked to send their

curriculum vitae / résumé(which should give details of their education and any skills or interests that might be relevant for the job they are applying for).

2. This should be accompanied by a covering letter (also called a letter of introduction).

3. This should be typed rather than handwritten, and it should explain briefly why they are applying for the job and why they think they would be suitable for it.

4. Alternatively, they might be asked to fill in / fill 6 out an application and submit( подчинять, покорять 2) представлять на рассмотрение) / send it to the company.

5. The managers of the company will read these and then make a short-list of the people they would like to attend an interview.

6. At the same time, they will reject/ turn down those who they feel are unsuitable.

7. The people who are responsible for choosing a new employee will consider the different aspects of the candidates / applicants to decide whether they have the correct potential((потенциальные) возможности, потенциал to fulfil one's potential — реализовать свой потенциал) for the job.

8. In addition these might include physical appearance (are they smart and well-presented?), general disposition(нрав, характер, манера bland / mild disposition — слабый, мягкий характер buoyan / cheerful / genial / pleasant / sunny disposition — жизнерадостный характер) (for example, are they friendly and easy to work with?), special skills / abilities (for example, are they computer literate грамотный 2) образованный), can they drive, or do they speak any other languages?) and interests / hobbies (what do they like doing in their free time?).

9. They might also consider their family background and medical history, although it is illegal to refuse someone a job on these grounds.

10. At the same time, they will probably check on their work history and qualifications (which is why it is very important to be honest when being interviewed), and may also check to see if they have a criminal record.

11. In addition, they may also ask to see some form of identification, and a work permission if the person applying for the job does not have British citizenship or comes from a country outside the European Union.

12. The person who most closely matches the profile / criteria decided by the managers will then be accepted for the job.

13. Before somebody is offered the job, s/he is asked to provide references from people who know him / her (usually a former employer , a colleague / co-worker, and / or a teacher or college tutor).

14. Before s/he actually starts working, s/he may go through an introduction programme to learn more about the company and the job. Sometimes, s/he may be given a temporary (временный- short period of time!!) contract and obliged to complete a trial / probationary period (where his / her employers make sure that s/he is suitable for the job) before being offered something that is more permanent (a fixed term or open-ended contract, for example).

15. On-the-job training may also be offered or required.

16. After s/he has been with the company for a while, there will probably be an appraisal [ə'preɪz(ə)l] (оценка, определение ценности, определение стоимости down-to-earth appraisal — практическая оценка objective appraisal — объективная оценка) to assess how s/he is getting on.

17. These may be repeated on a regular basis throughout his / her time with the company.
