Ha a napi leckék mellett szeretnél még angolozni velünk, akkor ajánlom neked a nyomtatott 5 Perc Angol magazint, ennek szeptemberi számába itt kukkanthatsz bele:
Jó tanulást!

Revise your resume/CV: before you start job hunting, make sure that your resume is as complete and as up-to-date as possible.
Get prepared for an introduction:When at an interview, the interviewer wants you to get relaxed, and speak about your accomplishments, why you want to work there and what your future goals are. The key is to keep it short – between 30 seconds and 2 minutes. Memorize it, but don’t sound like a robot!
Make a list of work-related skills you’d like to learn:Your employer is interested in hearing about how you want to become a better employee.
Be computer literate:Most jobs require people who are computer literate and know how to operate different equipment, like fax machines, scanners, photocopiers.
Be communicative:Employers prefer to hire people who are able to express their thoughts efficiently both verbally and in written communication.
Research the company:Become familiar with the history of the company. When applying for a job, you should learn as much as you can about the company you want to work at.
