CV task

A reminder of the task:

Write a CV and covering letter for a placement/internship in your second year.  Choose a specific company to apply to, in the country you are going to (or hope to go to) next year.

To hand in by 27th March.  This leaves you plenty of time to research and check your work, in addition to preparing your presentations.  You may hand it in earlier if your work is ready.

Due to a fault with my memory stick, for the moment I cannot give you my presentation on covering letters.  However, you can consult the source which my material was taken from: http://www.kent.ac.uk/careers/cv/coveringletters.htm

This topic will be continued this week.

• Remember that you should give me your visual aids (e.g. Powerpoint slideshow) one week before your presentation for checking.
