JOB HUNTERS

Today we are going to learn what a cover letter is (also called application letter) and we are going to write our own cover letter as a reply to a real summer job ad in the UK. We are going to follow these steps:

1. Visit this webpage and learn about cover letters, their main goal and how to organize and create your own
http://jobsearch.about.com/od/coverletters/a/aa030401b.htm

2. On that same web page, click on the section "COVER LETTER SAMPLES" and read some of them to have a real idea about what they are and how they are actually organized. You can choose from a great variety depending on your job preferences.

3. Imagine now that you want to work in the UK next summer. Click on the following link http://www.seasonworkers.com/destinations/uk-jobs.aspx and look for job vacancies ads. Choose the one you would like to apply for and read through it carefully (taking into account working conditions, experience required, salary...)

4. Write a cover letter applying for the job you have chosen and send it to the company. It happens that the e-amil address for all the companies is the following one: patri_moreno35@hotmail.com
