Giving advice
Liz Sanders is a graduate of the University of Gloucestershire. She has trouble searching for a job. Below is her letter to Michelle Robinson, a job consultant. Discuss the text in class and think what kind of advice you could give her.
Dear Liz
ОтветитьУдалитьI am glad to receive a letter from you, and I will gladly rush to answer it. What you want and try to find a job is already good. You have an honors degree and a degree in computer technology. This industry is the most demanded in the modern world. And I’m sure that if you still haven’t found a job, then you are not looking for it there.
Firstly, I want to invite you to contact the employment center at the place of residence and find out about the vacancies that suit you.
Secondly, if possible, look for work in other big cities, and if possible move there.
Thirdly, you can find work that does not require leaving your home or moving to another city. In our century of high technology, the opportunity to work remotely. Among them are such professions as: Internet marketer; SMM Specialist; Perfomance marketer; Web Designer; Graphic Designer; Interior Designer and many others.
In extreme cases, you can think well and start your own business. Having opened your own business, you not only get a job, but also create new jobs.
And lastly, I want to add that there is no need to waste time on excitement, because whoever seeks will always find.
Best regards,
Michelle Robinson.
Dear Liz,
ОтветитьУдалитьThanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you.
Don't worry. Now the most important thing isn't to give up. In job search, as in any other business, you need to maintain an optimistic attitude and enthusiasm.
I want to advise you to adjust the curriculum vitae because a competent curriculum vitae is a key factor. Try changing the style of writing, photos, add more additional information .You shouldn't make a universal curriculum vitae and send it to everyone.
There is always work. Even in a terrible crisis, you can get a job. Repeat it to yourself.
Try to expand your search. Be sure to ask friends, relatives and friends if there are vacancies at their enterprises. Look for work not only in your city, sometimes changes must be cardinal.
I also want to recommend connecting social networks. On Facebook or Instagram, for example, there are lots of groups where people are looking for employees and posting jobs. In addition, you can contact the job centre or recruiting agencies.
You must believe in yourself and in your success.
Good luck.
I will wait for good news.
Best wishes,
Michelle Robinson.
Dear Liz,
ОтветитьУдалитьThanks for your letter. I am very glad that you wrote to me about this and want to hear my opinion.
Of course,the most important thing is to not to despair and not to give up.Besides this you should carefully prepare for interviews to establish yourself as a promising specialist, which is needed by the company you are applying for.
I also advice you don't let the job search take its course. Send out your resume, call companies and ask them if they have any vacancies, tell your friends and acquaintances that you are looking for a job, contact employment agencies.
It often happens that a person can not get a job, because they really do not want to work or are afraid of responsibility, and perhaps associates this moment with the final growing up and resists it. These are the most popular reasons, but in fact there may be many of them, and they all have the same solution. In this case, it is best to contact specialists who will help you identify the cause and eliminate it. You probably won't be able to do it yourself.I would also like to emphasize that you don't be squeamish about little-known companies that are willing to take you on, but can't pay you high wages. Here you can get an invaluable experience, and possibly a letter of recommendation.
And it is important that you want it and have a great desire then nothing is impossible.
Best regards,
Michelle Robinson.

УдалитьDear Liz,
First, I'll ask you not to be sad and get ready for work. The first thing I recommend to you is to sign up for an job center, because there are a lot of vacancies there. You will not wait for Newspapers or any news, they will call you and tell you that there is a vacancy.
I also want to advise you to get any light job during the job search period.You can work as a waiter or someone's assistant. I noticed that your education is related to computers and technology, so I want to advise you to look for a job on the Internet, maybe get a remote job. Ask your friends and family to let us know if they know about the job.
If you can, then take any advanced training courses, it will help you gain experience. Your task now is to try to get an assistant to someone in your field. This way you will gain experience and be able to get a job.
But the most important thing is not to be sad and try all the time, then everything will be fine. Good luck!
Best regards,
Michelle Robinson.
Dear Liz Sanders.

Dear Liz,
ОтветитьУдалитьThanks for your letter.
To begin don't take the search process as a waste of time. It's also an experience that gives you a general idea of employers, their expectations from young jobseeker.
Secondly, write your CV correctly. List your strengths that will come in handy at work. If you are fluent in a foreign language, become the winner of a student contest in your specialty this is definitely worth mentioning.
If you carried out practical tasks during your studies that were close to the tasks of real work indicate them in a letter and attach the result.
If you were a trainee list exactly what you did during this experience and attach a recommendation from your supervisor. Don't use boring stamps and write in plain language. You need to attract the attention of the employer. Don't despair. You will definitely find a job .
Yours sincerely,
Michelle Robinson.
Dear Liz,
ОтветитьУдалитьI am very glad to receive your letter. Don't give up. You graduated from the University with honors and received a degree in computer science and technology. This industry is in demand in the modern world. If you really want to find a job, you will find it.
You should start by drawing up your own resume, collecting recommendations, and studying all possible and available sources of information about vacancies. Prepare the necessary letters of appeal to potential employers.Get in touch with your employer, even if they don't currently have a suitable job for you. Try to communicate memorable positive information about yourself and make a pleasant overall impression, so that you will be remembered when a vacant position appears.
All relatives and friends should know that you are looking for a job, maybe they have acquaintances who need workers.
You should also try to find a job in another city. Maybe you'll find something suitable there. Do not forget about working on the Internet. Earnings on the Internet on the exchange of articles, earnings on forex, earnings on the Internet on a blog, etc. I wish you good luck.
Best regards,
Michelle Robinson.
Dear Liz,
ОтветитьУдалитьIt was nice to receive a letter from you. Don't worry, sooner or later you'll find a job, maybe even a dream job. The market is lack of specialists of your profession so try to go through some resources outside your area, in larger cities, try taking an Initiative and send your CV to some big companies, they like active people.
Also i recommend you to work on freelance platform so you can generate portfolio to show to employers. This will give you basic essential experience which universities usually bypass. Possibly you will find a place to work while freelancing, so it's worth its time.
Finally i want to say in general you have two ways: explore the web or move to bigger city. The first option is easier, while the second one makes you more experienced in life and gives more opportunities.
Wishing wells finding a job!
WIth all the best,
Michelle Robinson

ОтветитьУдалитьDear Liz, I was very pleased to receive your letter and doubly pleased that I seem to be able to help you. A lot of young people write to me every day with the same problem, but their situation is more complicated as their professions are not in great demand .There is another situation with you, Liz.
ОтветитьУдалитьNowadays computer technologies is one of the most popular and perspective areas.I really doubt that there is lack of work there. Probably you just should find in other places. Honestly, newspapers are an outdated source. If you want to find your dream job, look for it in the field of your activity - on the Internet. There are many bulletin boards on social networks, you should search there. You should also adjust your CV, perhaps it does not reflect enough information about you. Make it more complete and memorable. Show your strengths . Even if you don’t find a full-time job right now, you can work remotely on various freelance platforms, it's not difficult to find.
Go on a different training courses. I advise you to do a soft-skills course, it can really help in your future career. Expand your horizons. So I wish you good luck. Never give up, you will succeed!
Sincerely, Michelle Robinson
Dear Liz
ОтветитьУдалитьI was pleasantly surprised to see a letter from you, I really missed you!
in fact, this is a very common problem among young people in our time, and, as you said, the main reason is the crisis.
I am very sorry that you could not find a good job for a long time, but it seems to me that you should look for work in more promising and larger cities than Beverly. I am sure that your skills will be useful to large companies and all you need is to let you know! amend your resume, you should show your ambitions and your strengths. Be patient, start small, gain experience. Try to start with part-time work. I am sure that with your knowledge you will not go unnoticed! I wish you good luck in everything!
Best regards,
Michelle Robinson.
