Curriculum Vitae
Your CV should be one page, two pages
maximum. You need to make a good impression because
in the space of a few seconds, the person who is recruiting
will see from your CV, what experience and training
you have gained so far. Take great care in setting out
your CV as this is your chance to get an interview,
which is the first step.
A covering letter should be sent with your CV to
emphasise the aspects of your personality, which correspond to the position
in question. Frequently the advertisement will ask you to
write your covering letter by hand (the only exception are to be found
in some part of the IT sector where it's seen as old-fashion) as graphology
is a wide used selection method. It is mainly used to observe the candidate's
general education.
Some employers ask for handwritten letters so that they can do a handwriting
analysis.
E-mail is used more and more for sending job applications.
