NEW PROJECT: MY C.V & A JOB INTERVIEW

Hi everyone!!!!

As you all know, we have started a new unit related to jobs. In different sessions with Kristie you have learnt enough vocabulary to display in our new projects. Now it is your turn to show your skills facing the competitive labour market.

This time we are going to deal with two projects: 

The individual one: MY C.V. ( We will deal with this one later in class).

 The other one: A JOB INTERVIEW  (in pairs) I will explain this one deeply:

1) You are going to work in pairs. Each person has a job. With your partner you have to choose one of the jobs to work with.

2) Once you have decided the job to work with then, one of you two is going to be the boss (interviewer) and the other one the person who applies for the job (interviewee)

3) You have to make up a dialogue in the context that fits with the job you have choosen (10 minutes minimum) in which the person that wants the job has to sell herself/himself.

4) Speaking fluently, pronunciation, accurate vocabulary will be required to pass this project. You will have an extra mark if you use your sense of humour or even if you dress up according to the context. 

5) You will be recorded and the deadline for this activity is going to be 2nd December.

GOOK LUCK GUYS!!!!
