Job Search
Finding a job can be both exciting and challenging. The process usually starts with identifying your skills, interests, and career goals. After that, you need to prepare a professional résumé (CV) and a cover letter that highlight your experience and achievements.
The next step is to search for vacancies. You can look for jobs on specialized websites, social media, company career pages, and through personal contacts. Networking is often one of the most effective ways to find a job, because many positions are filled before they are even advertised.
Once you find a suitable vacancy, read the job description carefully and tailor your résumé to match the requirements. Then submit your application and wait for a response. If you are invited to an interview, prepare answers to common questions and research the company beforehand.
Task 1: Read the application form and answer the questions.

Questions:
- What personal information must you provide in the form?
- What should you write in the "Position applied for" field?

Как рассуждать
- Task 1: в форме нужно отделять личную/контактную информацию — имя, дату рождения, адрес, телефон, email — от профессиональной: образование, опыт, навыки.
- Task 2: ищите в тексте предложение-доказательство. Слова not и should not часто делают утверждение ложным.
- Task 3: каждое слово используется один раз. Подсказки дают артикли: a cover letter, a résumé, an interview, a vacancy, the employer.
- Task 4: на каждый вопрос собеседования отвечайте 1–2 предложениями: факт + краткое пояснение. Слабость лучше называть вместе с тем, как вы её исправляете.
Проверка: в Task 3 все пять слов использованы по одному разу; в Task 2 получается False — True — False — True.
