6 .How to find the ideal job

Padlet AUDIO 3

7. Job hunting audio 4 classroom

Listen and fill in the gaps here below

My first tips (1) is you don’t always have to follow your (2). Many people
who love their work (3) developed a passion for it over time.When they
started good of what they did. But they didn’t follow their early passions at the
S.CAMARA CAMPUS LA CHATAIGNERAIE BTS 1ère année

beginning of their coreer (4). my second tip is (5) is to do some volunteer

work for example if you are an IT programmer you can offer to develop a website (6)
for a local charity. Offering you skills (7) , knowledge and time for free is a great
way to feel a gap (8) in your CV and it shows potential employers that you
have been keeping busy (9). Now the next tip will help you get noticed by potentially
(10) employers. Instead of contacting a companise

(11) human resources department and hoping that your CV will make it to the right
person try to find who the decison maker (12) is and approach him or her directly.
That way your CV won’t get lost in the pile and if you can’t find out who this person is,
reach out someone else in the company and let them know that you admire what they
do and would love their adivice (13).Ask them lots of questions about their
work and company but don’t mention the job (14) .They would probably tell
you about the job opening (15) themselves and you can find out how you can
get your application (16) into the right hands. So enter my next tip don’t
focus on your dream(17 ) job now. If you are at an early stage in your career remember
that (18) are not glamourous. Then try to think
about what kind of job you’ll have in five years from now and focus on developing your skills
(19) until then. So my 5th and final tip is consider free lancing (20) .
Most people who are unemployed

(21) think that they will get back into work fairly quickly but nothing is
guaranteed. So consider doing some freelance work in the meantime. Freelancing is
a great way to keep your skills Shark (22) , make new contacts, earn an
income and improve ( 23) your CV.

VIRTUAL JOB HUNTING:

Technology fills situations vacant

Looking for a job - or trying to find a new employee? Then prepare for a
technological revolution.

New tools, many of them related to the explosion in use of social media,
are transforming the recruitment world.

Until recently, the process of seeking a job followed a familiar routine -

scan the newspaper recruitment pages, or visit an agency, then
despatch your carefully prepared CV (or resume if you're American) in all
directions.

Now though, those who want to stand out in a crowded job market are
resorting to more sophisticated approaches.

A search on YouTube throws up plenty of examples of the new breed of

job-seeker, promoting themselves with video offerings.

Among them is Graeme Anthony, who needed to get a new job in PR in

a hurry when he moved from Manchester to London. His YouTube
C.V.I.V. - curriculum vitae interactive video - is simple but effective.

He sits behind a table pitching his skills, and then links appear to more
videos giving greater detail.

"It brings me to life in a completely new way," he explains, "It shows off
my personality in a way a paper CV can't. It's got the wow factor."

It worked. When London's Frank PR agency saw the video, Graeme was
quickly invited for an interview, and got the job.
