Introduction
The aim of
Cambridge English for Job-hunting
is to develop the English language and communication
skills you need to get the job you want. Specifically designed for both working professionals and those
new to the world of work, the book comprises six stand-alone units which cover all of the following
areas and more:
• Researching the market
• Preparing a CV
• Writing a cover letter
• Answering interview questions
• Answering competency based interview questions
• Turning negatives into positives
• Telephone interviews
• Negotiating terms and conditions of service
In the book we have used authentic materials such as genuine CVs and cover letters, which you can
use as useful models when writing your own CV and cover letter. On the audio you will hear a lot of
interview extracts, from both strong candidates giving model responses to interview questions, as well
as weaker candidates making common mistakes. The book will guide you through these examples and
highlight successful techniques for dealing with difficult questions, as well as providing you with lots of
opportunities to practise.
In the classroom
Cambridge English for Job-hunting
provides between 40 and 60 hours of study. This
can be extended using the teachers’ notes and extension activities online.
