LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION

Your name and address go at the top.

The resume usually consists of the following sections: Personal, Education, Work Experience, Interests and Skills, Hobbies. Also your phone number.

2. Under Personal you say:

1) when and where you were born;

2) your marital status (whether you are married, single or divorced), your children;

3) citizenship.

3. Under Education you describe:

1) the school you finished and the years of study (for example 1956—1966);

2) University, the diplomas and degrees obtained, also mention the subject (e. g. the University of St. Petersburg, Economics);

3) any higher degrees, e. g. Ph.D. and the university which granted it.

4. Then comes Work Experience:

This can be done in a number of ways; if you are a research scientist or an academic (having to do with colleges, universities or studies), you should list selected publications and mention in brackets their total number. You always list the jobs, the years you worked, the positions you held and the addresses.

This should be presented in the reverse chronological order starting from the last job.

In case you have no work experience in the field, mention your summer jobs, extracurricular school activities, awards. Choose the activities that will enhance your qualification for the job you want.

5. Then come Interests and Skills:

Include the foreign languages you speak, computer skills, extensive travel, particular interests or professional membership, the clubs you belong to.

This is your chance to let your future employer get some idea of your person. For example, if you are after a job in computer programming, and you enjoy playing chess, mention it. Chess playing requires the ability to think through a problem.

6. The last is Hobbies:

It is good to mention here a hobby that can help get the job you are after.

 

It should be noted that a resume (C.V.) can be structured differently and may vary in length from one page to three or more.

 

Send your Resume, along with a Cover Letter and a Letter of Recommendation or Reference to a specific person. The person should be the top person in the area where you want to work. The Cover Letter should appeal to your reader's own needs. Briefly explain why you are approaching his company. Refer him to your Resume and ask for an interview.

 

Here are the samples of a Cover Letter and a Letter of Recommendation

 

COVER LETTER

Dear Mr Jones,

 

I am writing to apply for the job (position) of accountant advertised in yesterday's "Daily Telegraph". I enclose my Resume and a Letter of Recommendation from Mr J. Smith of Smith and Sponsor Bank, Manchester.

I have recently moved to your town for family reasons and feel that my qualifications would enable me to be a productive member of your company. I am available for an interview at your convenience.

References on request. I look forward to hearing from you,

Yours sincerely, ...



 

 

LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION

(1st sample)

19 November, 1997

Dear Dr Jones,

 

Having known Dr Crown for five years as a staff-member of my department, I am pleased to write this Letter of Recommendation for him.

During the five years that Dr Crown worked with us he always excelled in whatever activity he undertook.

It is important to mention here that he has a good command of French and German and speaks both languages fluently. I also want to emphasize his experience in computing (his computer skills).

Dr Crown has my fullest support and should it be appropriate I would be pleased to provide further information.

Yours sincerely, ...
