The letter of application
The letter of application can be as important as the CV in that it often provides the first direct contact between a candidate and an employer. If this letter is not well written and presented, it will make a poor impression. The letter of application normally contains four paragraphs in which you should:
· confirm that you wish to apply and say where you learned about the job
· say why you are interested in the position and relate your interests to those of the company
· show that you can contribute to the job by highlighting your most relevant skills and experience
· indicate your willingness to attend an interview (and possibly say when you would be free to attend)

Although I am presently employed by a non-profit making organisation, it has always been my intention to work in a commercial environment. I would particularly welcome the chance to work for your company as I have long admired both the quality f the products that it provides and its position as a defender of environmental causes. As you will notice on my enclosed CV, the job you are offering suits both my personal and professional interests.
I would be pleased to discuss my curriculum vitae with you in more detail at an interview. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me if you require further information. I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Ms Baudoin
8th January 2000
I am writing to apply for the position which was advertised last month in The Independent.
My work experience has familiarised me with many of the challenges involved in public relations today. I am sure that this, together with my understanding of the needs and expectations of sport and nature enthusiasts, would be extremely relevant to the position. Moreover, as my mother is German, I am fluent in this language and would definitely enjoy working in a German-speaking environment.

Making a presentation
| Notes Making a presentation in a foreign language is a complex task and represents a challenge that can be a stressful experience, especially if you have never given a presentation before. These guidelines contain invaluable advice about all aspects of presenting, and include appropriate language to use in order to signpost your talk clearly so that your audience can follow the transitions between the different sections. Voice The audience must be able to hear and understand what you are saying. Speakers tend to speak too softly, too fast and without pausing or varying the tone of voice. You can practise by speaking about something you know or have an opinion about. Pay careful attention to when you include pauses, volume changes and variations in tone of voice. Body Language Adopting the right body position and using appropriate gestures to show interest, highlight points, and keep your audience's attention are important factors. Address your audience as 'you' as this helps to make both sides feel closer and makes you more relaxed. Remember: · Make eye contact with the audience, turning your head so that you regularly look at every member of the audience. · Move around a little if you are standing, and vary the position of your upper body if you are sitting down. Use your hands and arms to provide gestures at appropriate moments. Useful words and expressions Using appropriate words and phrases at key moments of a talk makes it easier for your audience to follow what you are saying and to anticipate what you will be saying next. This list will help you to highlight the key stages and to indicate the transitions between the different sections of your talk. | Introducing the talk: This morning I'm going to be talking about … In my talk today I will be looking at … I'd like to start by giving you ... Indicating the structure and sequences of your talk: I have divided my presentation into X sections … In the first section I will / am going to describe … Then I will / am going to go on to … After that I will / am going to look at … Finally I will / am going to ... Moving from one section of your talk to another: I would now like to go on to the next point which is … I f I can now move on to the next section ... To continue ...

Feel free to ask i f you have any questions. I welcome questions if at any point you don't understand something. I f you have any questions about this, please/do ask. Asking rhetorical questions (questions that the audience are not expected to answer): Some of you may be wondering how can this be done? Am I right in thinking that …? So, just how can this be achieved? You may be wondering how long will this take?
