DEVELOPING SPEAKING SKILLS
Task 35. Having read the material of the unit, how would you answer the questions:
· What does the process of head-hunting imply and would you like to be headhunted? Why (not)?
· What traits of character does a head-hunter have to possess, in your opinion?
· Which methods of job hunting are the most effective ones, in your opinion? Which of them would you use? Explain your choice.
| A: | After a lot of applications I am a little bit exhausted. There is almost no job advertisement that I didn't answer. |
| B: | Well, what is the result so far? Have you got any answers? |
| A: | Hmm, yes a couple of answers. Basically all were refusals. I had one interview but they gave the job to someone else. |
| B: | Sounds strange. Give me your CV and applications. I want to check them. Maybe you are doing something wrong. |
| A: | What do you mean? I do everything right. |
| B: | Well maybe that's the problem. When you apply for a job you have to sell yourself to the employer. That includes self marketing, for every job. |
| A: | I don't know what you mean. |
| B: | Let's see. (reads through the CV and the different application papers). Oh… we should go through this from the very beginning. I don't get it. First of all, never mention anything about payment in your applications. No matter what you mention it will be either too much, then you are too expensive to be interesting or it will be too less, that will make the employer think that your skills are not that good. Either way, you lose. |
