0a) In groups, discuss the information presented by one of job centres.
There is lots of advice and CV samples and a lot of them differ so it's hard
to say exactly what the perfect CV is. I'd say a good CV should cover no more than two pages of A4 paper and be divided into clear headings.
The first section should include personal details: name, address, telephone number, email and things. Some employers like to see a photo, too. You can always phone the company and find out.
Next comes education and qualifications starting with the most recent things. The third section deals with work experience - again starting with the most recent job. I think it's important here to be brief so use
bullet points and action verbs. You don't need to use complete sentences as long as it's very clear what you've done.
Following this is the section on professional skills. Show the employer your abilities, including your ability to use IT and foreign languages.

criteria in the job advertisement. Make it easy for the employer to ask you to an interview.
Presentation is also important. Good quality paper and a clear typeface make a difference. And once you've written your CV check your grammar and spelling carefully.
Then put it in a good quality large envelope so you don't have to fold it.
