LOOKING FOR A JOB

This video is just part of a series of activities designed to make Ampliación students aware of the most common steps to get a job.
Our main goal is to help them to know and develop the different tools and useful skills needed when looking for a job.
It would start with a description of the process: finding a job advert in a newspaper or on the Internet, writing a CV and a covering letter, filling in an application form, and finally, going to the job interview if they call you.
We would work on both written and oral skills.
