Weekend job? Part time? Full time?
Whatever kind of job you’re going for, the way to go about it is much the same ... ( For info regarding employment law, pay, etc, see the Holiday Jobs fact file.)
Young people change job at average of four times in their first three years of employment.
Where to look
Jobs are advertised in:
*Job vacancy(空缺) websites
*Newspapers (local and national)
*Recruitment agencies
*Shop windows
You could also take your CV along your local high street---- even if they have no vacancies you can show them how excellent you are, so when they do have a vacancy you’ll be the person they call.
What’s a CV?
It stands for Curriculum Vitae, and is basically one side of A4 containing your personal details, skills and experience. You can find out how to do a CV via the links below.
Covering letters & application forms
You need to send a cover letter with a CV, and some employers want you to complete an application form. There’s detailed information on cover letters and application forms in the websites listed below.
Not got any experience?
Everyone has to get a first job, and you can big up your transferable (可转换的) skills on your CV. If the job description asks for “Excellent communication skills” or “ Organizational skills”, you can mention occasions when you had to use these skills, e.g. being a monitor or getting all your coursework in on time.
The interview
If an employer rates your CV/application form, you’ll be invited to an interview. The general rules of interviews are:
* Dress a little smarter than those who do the job already.
* Turn up on time.
* Greet the person who’s interviewing you by name: “Hi Joe/Mr Smith (depending on which you’d think they prefer), nice to meet you”.
* Tell the truth.
* Think about what questions you’ll be asked and prepare your answers in advance.

广告布告类阅读特点及解题技巧：
一、广告布告类阅读试题的文体特点：
此类文章不同于其他文体的文章，其目的是为了向读者传输信息，措辞简洁明了，直截了当，一般说来，广告布告类阅读试题具有以下特点：
1、选材特点：
信息量大，文句精炼，形式灵活，用最少的篇幅表达最大量的信息。
2、内容特点：
生活化，实用化，多样化，如产品宣传、服务介绍、通知、海报、启示、招生招聘等。
3、形式特点：
标题醒目，重点突出，条理清晰，常用粗体字或各类项目符号使文章结构更鲜明。
4、语言特点：
人名、地名、专有名词多；生词多；缩略词、祈使句、省略句多；结构不完整。
5、命题特点：
主要考察考生提取信息和处理信息的能力，既注重特定细节的筛选、类比、综合，又注重推理判断题的考查，题目设置相对较容易。
二、解题技巧点拨：
阅读这类文章时，也应该在整体把握文章结构的前提下，主要注意细节信息。细节题题干都是相应原文的变形(如同义改写、词性转换等)，因此要找到答案一定要找到题干在原文中的出处，再把原文和选项相比较。做题时，根据所提问题用寻读、跳读的方法可达到事半功倍的效果。同时，在阅读时也要特别注意文中以粗体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字，因为这很有可能是文章的核心或某一部分内容的概括。具体答题策略如下：
1、先题后文：
先读试题，了解考点；明确目的，快速捕捉，获取信息。
2、题干定向：
根据题干关键词到文中定位答案范围，按照题目顺序依次而下：问题与材料相同：对号入座；问题与原文相同：同义替换、归纳事实等。
3、生词模糊：
遇到生词；如无关答题，直接跳过；涉及答题，则根据语境、构词法等猜词。
4、信息补全：
对于影响理解的省略句，可根据语境，将其补全。
