SESSION 8: AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Learn how to spot the key words in a job advert and then tailor your own CV to reflect them. By the end of the session students will be able to: • Understand what employers are looking for • Find their own examples to demonstrate these skills • Understand what skills our hobbies/experiences have given us • Understand why it’s important to explain these clearly
Activity 1What do employers want? • What sorts of skills, qualities or qualifications do we think employers are looking for in their employees?
Were we right? Using the Handout(s), taken from real Apprenticeship job vacancies, can you pick out the key words that describe the skills or qualities each employer is looking for?
Looking at your own CV…. • Have you missed an opportunity to shout about some skills that you have? • For example…..
Good “I have a paper round.” • Better “I have had a paper round for two years.” • Best “I have had a paper round for two years. I have to get up really early to do the round before school and I have never been late for school once. I am also trusted to do extra rounds at weekends if other people are away.”
