A review of the contents of my resume, my education, teaching, and employment record will assure you that I am equipped with extensive preparation and performance in the English education field.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hold both a Bachelor&amp;#39;s and a Master&amp;#39;s degree from accredited universities (see below). My abilities as a teacher have been honed and enhanced through over ten years of consistent practice in the field. I have meticulously prepared and delivered hundreds of lesson-plans, speeches, and lectures and have taught various age groups, ranging from children to teen-agers to undergraduate students to adults. I have taught conversation techniques and have conducted reading groups and discussion groups for children, university students and adults. I have actively engaged in children&amp;#39;s education with a high degree of satisfaction and success. I recently taught in the government Elementary school system of Korea, and I enjoyed relating to and responding to the learning-needs of the children. I was selected to be the Head Teacher for Kaya University&amp;#39;s English Summer Camp for Kids. My task was to teach and co-ordinate the activities of 7 other teachers at this intensive English camp for both Elementary and High School students. I am presently teaching undergraduate students at a renowned university in Daegu, Korea. Letters of recommendation are available from this Elementary School.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Along with my formal training and experience, I offer myself as an intelligent, sensitive and articulate person. My vocabulary is extensive and my pronunciation is clear and distinct. I am endowed with an innate sensitivity to the needs of others. I hail from a multi-cultural context and I have adapted to various cultures very well. I am a clear thinker, communicator, and an empathetic teacher who can identify and respond to the particular needs of individual students. I love working with children and have great energy and enthusiasm in the classroomâ¦students are very responsive and positive toward me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am currently teaching in Korea...but I am seeking to relocate to the Philippines. I will be available from the middle of December, this year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to send you my resume and letters of reference attached.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Dear Sir or Madam,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I am writing to apply for the internship in your company&amp;#39;s A.
Services Department.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I have recently concluded an Economics degree and a course on
Financial Auditing and Internal Control - an area in which I am particularly
interested - and these have given me a solid base upon which I plan to build my
career.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The proposed internship would thus be an excellent professional
opportunity, not only for its challenging functions, but also for all I will
certainly learn and achieve in a company of such international reference in the
areas of K., W. and E. services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I consider myself a very dynamic, communicative and creative person.
I like team work, sharing and experimenting new ideas in order to solve
challenging problems, and have good organization and analysis skills.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Believing I can match the expectations you will deposit in me, I
enclose my curriculum vitae for your review. It would be a pleasure to schedule
an interview with you, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I have question....do you think that it is necessary to talk about my language skills ( OR should I have that the employer see my CV (item Language Skills) and about my wish to work in Italy?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;Thank you Philip!&amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>Re: What is wrong with this IT CV?</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatIsWrongWithThisItCv/zlmdz/post.htm#475172</link><pubDate>Sun, 10 Feb 2008 10:36:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:475172</guid><dc:creator>Mister Micawber</dc:creator><description>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I have indicated the few outright corrections I could find in bold.&amp;nbsp; Because you have chosen to present your information in sentence fragments, it is very difficult to analyze or make consistent any grammar present.&amp;nbsp; If you continue to get complaints, I would suggest that you try casting it in paragraphs ( &amp;quot;I was a sales consultant for Oracle Bl solutions, using demonstrations, prototyping, proofs of concept and presentations prepared for both potential and existing customers.&amp;nbsp; I also designed customer business needs analyses and matched them to solutions, conducted internal sales team training, and had some involvement in marketing.&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PROFESSIONAL HISTORY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;05/2006 ~ Present&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;ACME â Sales Consultant&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Salesconsulting on Oracle BI solutions using demos, prototyping, proofs ofconcept, presentations to potential or existing customers. &lt;strong&gt;Customer&lt;/strong&gt;business needs &lt;strong&gt;analyses&lt;/strong&gt;, matching them to solutions.

&lt;P&gt;I have been using my CV around for some months, and suddenly, an HR agent asked me to correct âseveralâ grammatical errors in it. I have asked an English-speaking friend to review it. But, as I have added some changes or updates, I may have introduce some errors.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Would you please review it? I have posted only its first part. I donât want to abuse from your patience.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Dear Sir/Madam&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;In response to the advertised position in wwwgumtree.co.uk &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt;on January 16&lt;SUP&gt;th&lt;/SUP&gt;, please consider my CV in your search for waiting Staff. This is an ideal job for me given my enthusiasm for &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt;working, my related experience and qualifications.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;I worked as a waitress in a CafÃ© and I know the importance of providing&amp;nbsp; good service for the customers. With regard to your requirements, I am convinced I meet all of them. I am able to carrying out several different tasks simultaneously while being friendly, patient and charming. I am good at team work and can also work under pressure. &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;I am a highly motivated person, very hard working and organized, always willing to undertake new challenges. With my sociable personality and the skills gained with my previous experience, I believe that I would be able to make an important contribution to your company's team.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;I believe when a waiter or waitress is good, the customers eat happily, and they come back for more. When a waiter or waitress is bad, most likely they will never set foot into that particular restaurant again.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

I will appreciate any suggestions and comments to improve it. Thanks in advance!&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;XYZ = employer's name&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;*************************************************&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Dear Sir or Madam,&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I would like to apply for a position of&amp;nbsp;Project Manager&amp;nbsp;/ Multimedia Developer&amp;nbsp;(reference no. 00000) as advertised on XYZâs on-line vacancy bulletin.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P class=Default&gt;I first became interested in multimedia development and web-based applications twelve years ago. Since 2001, I am working as a project manager and developer in a leading internet agency in my country. As of March 2004, I am in charge for communication, management and execution of all online activities of&amp;nbsp;ABC_CORPORATION in COUNTRY_NAME. The list of my responsibilities includes communication with the HQ office and local companies, website design, content development and update, adaptation of various online/ offline campaigns and presentations, research and invention of new channels for communication with target audience. During my practice I have developed a vast range of skills, for example: analysing complex numerical and verbal information, clear, concise writing for different contexts, working enthusiastically and productively under pressure, dealing professionally with a wide range of people, working in a variety of teams and on my own initiative, overcoming obstacles. I am comfortable in sourcing and handling data electronically. Making movies like the Flash presentation I've attached as a sample of my work is such an enjoyable experience, because I know how to turn content requirements into a multimedia concept by selecting the most appropriate choice of multimedia. I have a knack of the latest technologies which help me to evaluate rapidly project essentials, determine terms and deadlines, execute in full the project. &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;As you can see on my CV I lead a busy life through my daily responsibilities and various business activities, which has meant that I have very quickly learnt the importance of time management. I have always handed my work in on time and never missed a deadline. My communication skills have greatly developed through my work experience with ABC_CORPORATION and its markets in Central and Eastern Europe. &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;For the period of my management and fulfillment of the ABC_CORPORATION on-line activities&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;, the ABC_CORPORATION&lt;/FONT&gt; recognizes COUNTRY_NAME as the fastest growing market in terms of Internet presence. My dedication to work and pursuit for perfection convinced ABC_CORPORATION to choose COUNTRY_NAME as a pilot market for several web-based projects and desktop applications. As of 2007 I am the person responsible for terms negotiation, concept development, execution and language adaptation of ABC_CORPORATION websites in COUNTRY_1, COUNTRY_2, COUNTRY_3, and&amp;nbsp;COUNTRY_4.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;XYZ&amp;nbsp;position as a leading organization attracts me and I feel&amp;nbsp;XYZ offers the opportunity to work with the type of people and projects that I am seeking. I feel I perform to a high standard and have a range of relevant skills that I can bring to XYZ. &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I would be very keen to find out more about&amp;nbsp;XYZ aims and would welcome the opportunity to discuss my application further at an interview. I hope you will consider my application favourably and I look forward to hearing from you.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Yours faithfully,&lt;/P&gt;

As of 2007 I am the person responsible for terms negotiation, concept development, execution and language adaptation of ABC_CORPORATION websites in COUNTRY_1, COUNTRY_2, COUNTRY_3, and&amp;nbsp;COUNTRY_4.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;XYZ&amp;nbsp;position as a leading organization attracts me and I feel&amp;nbsp;XYZ offers the opportunity to work with the type of people and projects that I am seeking. I feel I perform to a high standard and have a range of relevant skills that I can bring to XYZ. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would be very keen to find out more about&amp;nbsp;XYZ aims and would welcome the opportunity to discuss my application further at an interview. I hope you will consider my application favourably and I look forward to hearing from you.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Yours faithfully,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
