the potential employer to write for your dossier, you will have reached an important stage in the process of applying for a job. The next important step is to gain an invitation to a face-to-face interview.

There are two kinds of basic resumes: chronological and functional. If your work experience was fairly continuous and in related areas, use a chronological resume, which lists your work experience in reverse order. A functional resume, developed on the basis of three or four skill areas, can be used if you were in and out of the job market at various times or if your work experience does not appear directly related to the job for which you are applying. Writing both kinds of resumes may benefit you, because this exercise gives you two different perspectives on yourself.

There is no one-and-only way to write a resume, but some good basic guidelines to follow are: (1) be brief, (2) be clear, (3) be neat, (4) be honest. The best resume describes your qualification on only one page.

Usually people send a resume with an individual letter addressed to a specific person in a company. Sometimes the resume is attached to an application, or requested after an application has been received. The general idea is to give the employer a preview of you before an interview takes place.

Ukrainian Cooking and Food.

Ukrainian cooking is varied, rich and nourishing. Its development was influenced by the development of material culture: geographical and climatic conditions, plant cultivation and animal domestication, cultural influences and economic relations with other countries.

Since ancient times Ukrainians have led a settled style of life based on farming. Archaeological evidence shows that wheat, barley and millet were grown in Ukraine 3000 years ago. Rye was introduced about 2000 years ago, and then buckwheat was imported from Asia in the 11^th century. Cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry were raised at that time too. Beekeeping, hunting and fishing were practised.

Since long ago bread has had a special, primary position in the great variety of Ukrainian food. Besides ordinary bread Ukrainians bake various ritual types of bread. Ukrainian bread in its multiform has become quite famous. For the common people bread is an object of reverence. Bread is used to bring divine blessings to the commencement of every task, marriage ceremony, birth of a child and move to a new home. As a sign of hospitality, guests of honour are greeted with a ceremonial offering of bread and salt.

Cooked cereals—wheat, barley, buckwheat, millet, or corn grits—are often served in Ukrainian homes.

Favorite dishes made of flour are dumplings and “varenyky” with various types of fillings: cottage cheese, cabbage, potatoes, meat, buckwheat, berries.
