Careers Blog

Task 6: Blog post (20 marks)

Write a blog post on how to successfully secure a job using information from the B1 Data File and your notes. Write around 150 words. [model answer]

Welcome to Careers Blog. In this blog, we’re going to talk about things you need to know about job-hunting

and further studies. [DF 2] To start off, let’s talk about things you need to pay attention to when you look for

jobs.

When you write your CV and covering letter, keep them short and succinct, [DF 5] and tailor them to

fi t the job description. [DF 1 & 5] You should briefl y mention your skills and experience that match the

position and provide specifi c examples to demonstrate your abilities.

Furthermore, try to do research so you know what your employers are looking for, [DF 1] and include relevant

keywords that appear in the job description. [DF 5] It’s also helpful to have a portfolio that shows all your

previous work ready to be sent along with your CV. [DF 4]

Potential employers may invite you to an interview after reviewing your application. When attending

an interview, you must look clean and well-groomed. Remember to be polite and punctual. Being early

(but not too early) gives you time to freshen up and gives your potential employer a good impression.

During the interview, it’s essential to be yourself. Thinking before answering is equally important.

Make sure that you don’t talk too much or act overconfi dent.

We’ll provide more job-hunting tips in our future entries. Subscribe to our blog now and never miss out! [DF 2]

Task 7: Application letter (18 marks)

Complete the sample job application letter using information from the B1 Data File. Write around 150 words.

[model answer]

Dear Sir/Madam

I am writing to apply for the position of reporter with reference to your advertisement on Jumpin’ Jobs

(reference number 0005678E).

I believe I would make an ideal candidate for the position as I am currently studying at the University of

Kowloon majoring in Journalism with a minor in English. I also obtained 5** for both English and Chinese

in the HKDSE Examination.

I have worked as an editorial intern at News Press Group [DF 6 & 7] and have been a reporting intern for two

consecutive summers. [DF 6 & 7] During this internship, I worked under tight deadlines, [DF 3, 6 & 7] so I

am confident that I will be able to work well under stress. [DF 3 & 6] I have also been an intern at the Hong

Kong Journal, where I managed online content and multimedia materials independently. [DF 6 & 7] I also have

experience in photography and I am a committee member of the Photography Club at my university. [DF 6 & 7]

Enclosed is a copy of my curriculum vitae [DF 2] which provides details of my qualifications for the position.

Please do not hesitate to contact me on 5544 4455 [DF 7] or email me at [email protected]. [DF 7] I look

forward to hearing from you. [DF 2] Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours faithfully

ALL-IN-ONE (Vol.2)

Dear Christina

Thank you for your message enquiring about being a veterinarian. In order to become a vet, you will need

to obtain a veterinarian degree. I would also recommend that you get more experience by volunteering at

animal shelters, job shadowing a veterinarian or getting an extra qualifi cation, for example. Those aspiring

to become a vet should also be good at science, be brave and level-headed, and they should love animals and

be compassionate towards them.

If you want to study veterinary science in Australia, there are a few options you could consider. First,

the Australian University in Perth offers the Veterinary Explorations Programme – a two-month summer

programme. The Royal School of Veterinary Medicine in Melbourne offers a fi ve-year (full time) Bachelor of

Veterinary Science programme. Also, the United College of Veterinary Studies in Sydney has a bachelor’s

programme in veterinary medicine that lasts four years (full time).

I hope this information has been helpful. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Best regards

Joseph Yim

[model answer]

Are you figuring out which career path to take or how to get a job? We at Teens Express have discussed career

choices with a lot of teenagers. Using our experience, we have come up with a few things you need to think

about when choosing a career.

Firstly, ask yourself ‘what job would suit me?’ [DF 1] To answer this, you need to know yourself well. Think

about your strengths and weaknesses as well as your likes and dislikes because this will help you identify the

type of work that you will enjoy doing. For example, if you are interested in becoming a youth worker, you might

ask yourself questions like ‘am I empathetic?’, ‘do I have good leadership skills and can I work in a team?’, or

‘am I patient and understanding?’

Now that you have understood yourself a little more, the next question to ask yourself is ‘what opportunities are

available for me?’ [DF 1] You should see what opportunities match your qualities. [DF 8] You can make use of

our search tool (www.t-express.org/careers/search) [DF 7] to look up options for your field of study [DF 8] or

our careers list (www.t-express.org/careers/list) [DF 7] to read up on specific jobs. [DF 8]

Having identified one or two suitable career options, you can consider the next question: ‘what can I do to get the

job I want?’ [DF 1] We would strongly encourage you to join our Career Enhancement Course. [DF 8] Through

this course, you will learn how to write a winning CV and covering letter, interview strategies as well as gaining

insight into various skills and career development.

These three questions can help you decide which career path to take. If you have further questions regarding

your career choice, feel free to contact us through the Ask Our Experts section of our website! [DF 2]
