Over to you
At the moment I don’t work,and I haven’t applied for a job either, because I take
care of my younger brother and ,in addtition I study online,so I don’t have free
time. But I know what’s the usual process for getting job in my country: firstly,
you have to look for vacancies in newspapers or even in employment agencies,
then to choose a suitable job. Secondly, you have to make a CV and send it to the
company,and you have to wait for the result, if it is positive ,you are employed.
