This activity is ideally intended for learners who are applying for work experience placements or internships.  \nKey life skills: Gathering and organising information, writing in note form about transferable skills, personal identity, and values Materials: One copy of the ‘Creating a CV’ worksheet per student, flipchart paper or large sheets of paper to write on  \nTeacher’s notes  \nGlossary: Lesson stages  \nTransferable skills: skills that can be used for different jobs and roles e.g. IT, teamwork, sales  \nJob requirements: the description of the job and what the employer is looking for in a candidate  \nCV: curriculum vitae – the “story” of your life, also called résumé  \nSpeculative application / to apply on spec: A speculative application or applying on spec involves sending a CV and covering letter to an employer asking whether they have any jobs or work experience opportunities your skills could fill, even if you haven’t seen a position being advertised.  \nProcedure:  \nIdeally learners should be creating CVs and cover letters for jobs, work experience opportunities, or internships that they are actually interested in applying for or intend to apply for. To that end, learners should already have conducted some initial research into their chosen industry or company to identify work-placement or internship opportunities or gathered some background information in order to demonstrate a genuine interest in doing work experience in that company. Alternatively, if you have less teaching time or learners are not yet applying for placements, it is worth looking at some examples of how companies advertise work experience and internship opportunities, and discussing how people applying ‘on spec’ can sometimes successfully gain jobs or placements. You can also discuss opportunities for getting access to such opportunities through networking.  \nHere are some useful links for internships and work experience placements. Learners should be encouraged to look at these or find other suitable ones, and to download application packs where applicable. The aim is for learners to gain a good understanding of the application process and how tailoring or adapting their CV content to be more specific to a particular job or industry can increase the chance of being successful.  \n[www.totalprofessions.com/university-students/work-placements](www.totalprofessions.com/university-students/work-placements)[-various industries](-various industries)[ ](-various industries)[www.e4s.co.uk/docs/internships.htm](www.e4s.co.uk/docs/internships.htm-various)[-various](www.e4s.co.uk/docs/internships.htm-various) industries [http://joinus.barclays.com/emea/internships/](http://joinus.barclays.com/emea/internships/ -banking)[ ](http://joinus.barclays.com/emea/internships/ -banking)[-banking](http://joinus.barclays.com/emea/internships/ -banking)[ ](http://joinus.barclays.com/emea/internships/ -banking)[http://internship-uk.com/Catering_Hospitality.asp](http://internship-uk.com/Catering_Hospitality.asp-various)[-various](http://internship-uk.com/Catering_Hospitality.asp-various)[ ](http://internship-uk.com/Catering_Hospitality.asp-various)industries including hospitality, event management and media  \n1. Ask learners to get into groups of three or four and distribute flipchart / large sheets of paper to each group.  \n2. Ask learners to brainstorm their answers to the question:“What are the ingredients for success in applying for work experience or an internship?” Responses could include‘interpersonal skills’,‘transferable skills’,‘interest’ etc. Give learners five minutes to work in their groups and write down as many ideas they can think of.  \n3. Put the completed flipcharts up on the walls and ask the groups to talk about what they have written.
