How to tell you help students to study in CV

JosieITA — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 14:10:25 GMT

Hello,
I'm trying to write my first English curriculum vitae and I have a problem.
In my "experiences" I would like to tell that I'm a university student who helps younger students (high school) in the afternoon, teaching them what they don't understand at school and helping them with homework.

In Italy this is called "fare ripetizioni", but I don't think that in English "make/do repetitions" means something like that!
So is there an idiom expression or something to say what my "job" is?

Thanks!

Hi, I've moved your post into the letters section. We won't write your letter for you but we will help. You can find lots of advice here about motivation letters and this is a good place to start, see Post:111482.

I would try to write your CV in a way that isn't just lots of lists. Of course, some things you have to list out, but other sections, such as your personal attributes (virtues) can be written out fully and will create a better impression that way. Section headings: 'Backround' should be Work Experience and you should list the most recent job at the top and work back from there. Didn't the 'courses' lead to qualifications - yet you list qualifications separately. A lot of the 'qualifications' sound as though they are skills rather than courses you have passed. Divide all this into simple 'qualifications' and 'skills' sections. 'Idioms' - you mean 'Languages'. 'Virtues' sounds odd - just do a personal statement describing yourself (not a list). This would include the information you have listed under Professional Interests.

Internship in US

ecsel — Thu, 20 Jan 2005 16:41:01 GMT

Hi,
here is my the last and the best version of motivation letter for highly wanted internship in US!
Please, I am asking you to help me with making it more appealing for HR manager,
where I could improve it? Is there any idiom or collocation that I could include in it?
And another thing, is it to long?

I know it will be almost imposible for you to correct it in time but anyway, I need to send it tomorrow in the morning.

You are amazing, thanks! lp rok

Dear Mr Firestone,

I was very excited when I heard from my colleagues in Good Year that there is a possibility for an internship in one of your divisions in the USA. My wish would be to obtain a position of a project manager within marketing department, for which I believe to have all the necessary skills and experience.

In April 2004, I graduated in Political Sciences (Defence Studies) and afterwards, aiming to improve economical knowledge and realizing a long-term career goal of managing marketing strategies, I enrolled to Masters of Science Â»Management and OrganizationÂ«.

During my studies at university I acquired some broadly applicable working experiences. As you will see from the enclosed CV, my current position is a project manager at local tourist company (Koblar and co, ltd), where I have started managing XXL Sports, an association for arranging and executing different sport activities, such as rafting, canyoning, paintball ect. My assignments during the peak season are organizing all day-to-day activities, managing small groups of employees and in the low season on the other hand, I am organizing a variety of marketing actions: brochures, posters and T-shirts. The other valuable experience, comes from working at the Government Public Relations and Media Office, where I worked on a project called NATOphone -a project of informing the general public about Slovenia joining the North-Atlantic Alliance.

Through these two experience I have developed the skills of working with people, persuading and negotiating with them. It is such work that combines those skills where I show my best results. In addition to that I am also a good team-player, possessing great organizational and communicational skills and have a strong background of dealing with several project simultaneously.

Oversea internship would mean a fantastic start of my career that can substantially broaden my perspective and give me invaluable, life-long experience. Since I would like to experience working in a positive, healthily-competing environment, which offer me wide opportunities for my personal development, the USA, as the most advanced country in the marketing field, presents my first and by far most favoured choice.

Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours Truly,
Rok Manfreda
