What an Employer Wants in a Curriculum Vitae (Level 1)
An article covering the five things an employer wants (contact details, work history, education, skills, clean presentation), followed by 10 comprehension questions with correct answers spread across a, b, c and d.
When an employer reads your CV, what do they want to see?
First, the employer wants to see your name and how to contact you. This means your phone number and email address. Without this, they cannot call you.
Second, the employer wants to see your work history. What jobs have you had? How long did you work there? What did you do? If you have done work like the job they are offering, they will be very happy.
Third, the employer wants to see your education. Where did you go to school? What did you study? What did you learn?
Fourth, the employer wants to see your skills. Can you speak English well? Can you use a computer? Are you good at working with people?
Finally, the employer wants a CV that is easy to read, with no mistakes. A clean, clear CV shows the employer you are a careful person.
Give the employer what they want and you will get an interview.
