  2. Remember, the first four bullet points you are ready to tackle! • INTRODUCTION & PERSONAL DETAILS • SCHOOL AND EDUCATION • SKILLS/INTERESTS THAT YOU HAVE WHICH MAKE YOU RIGHT FOR THE JOB • RELATED WORK EXPERIENCE

  3. Last two unpredictable bullet points: make sure you have a paragraph prepared on each of the following possible bullet points. • LANGUAGES SPOKEN • REASON FOR WANTING TO WORK IN SPAIN/FRANCE • WHEN YOU WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR INTERVIEW AND TO WORK • YOUR EXPERIENCE OF WORKING WITH THE PUBLIC • WHICH GAMES, SPORTS AND ACTIVITIES YOU COULD HELP ORGANISE • YOUR EXPERIENCE OF WORKING WITH YOUNG PEOPLE • HOW YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE DAY-TO-DAY RUNNING OF THE HOSTEL • YOUR EXPERIENCE OF TRAVELLING AND VISITING OTHER COUNTRIES • Working at functions and events

  4. Conclusion • Make sure you have a little phrase at the end to conclude your email.

  5. Some things to remember… • Your task is to write an e-mail of approximately 120-150 words in application for a job advertised. • There are six bullet points to answer: the first four are always the same, the last two vary from year to year • Each of the first bullet points should have between 20 and 30 words to address it properly. • It is worth 20 marks and to get a mark of satisfactory or above, you must address the last two bullet points properly. • You should aim to have at least 15 words for each of these last two points, but do not try and write too much for these. • You will be assessed on how well you have answered the points, and on the accuracy of your language.

  6. Some things to remember… • You should ensure that you are careful when you read the information regarding the job you are applying for, make sure that your answer is tailored to fit that job (depending on the job you may have to alter your strengths or your experience) • Use the dictionary to check the accuracy of what you have written (spelling, accents, genders etc) but not to create new sentences, particularly when dealing with the last two bullet points as you should have everything you need prepared before the exam. • Ensure that your handwriting is legible (particularly when writing in Spanish) • By the end of the exam, you should have an introduction, six clearly structured paragraphs, and a little conclusion.
