    Dependent prepositions (with verbs,


    adjectives and nouns)
    Certain verbs, adjectives and nouns naturally take certain prepositions when placed in a
    sentence these are called dependent prepositions.

    For example, you


    can object to (something), participate in (something), complain about (something).

    Unfortunately there are no fixed rules that can help you decide which dependent
    prepositions should be placed with which words, you really just need to learn them.

    Remember that sometimes usage of different dependent prepositions change the meaning.

    Dependent prepositions example 1:

    He is angry with us. (angry with someone)

    He is angry about the problem. (angry about a situation)

    Dependent prepositions example 2:

    He is good at football (meaning he has skill / ability in something he is good at (playing)


    football).

    She is good with children (meaning she has a positive relationship with / has an affinity
    with).

    A teacher for example, might be good at teaching English and may be good with their
    students.

    The best way to learn more about dependent prepostions is to make a list of your own, and
    then find sentences that use the structure. Google can be very useful for that. For example,
    if you were trying to remember that complain is generally followed by about, simply type in
    complain about in Google and see the results.

    NOTE: It is important to use the speech marks ( ) around the phrase you are searching for
    so that only results with that phrase will come up.

    What are the basic elements of a CV?

    Yout CV should cover these elements:

    Your details - Include your name, address, phone numbers and email
    address so any interested employers can contact you easily. Information such as
    nationality, age and driving licence status are optional.

    Personal statement - One paragraph that immediately captures the attention


    of your reader and entices them to find out more about you. Be careful not to cram
    too much in. Instead take your main skill and relate it to the job you're after to show
    employers why you meet their needs.

    Work experience - List your most recent position first, continuing in reverse
    chronological order including the name, location, website and dates of your
    employment for each company you have worked for. Aim to use bullet points
    wherever possible to highlight your responsibilities and achievements in each role so
    the person scanning your CV can quickly match up your experience with their job
    description.

    Education - Again, in reverse chronological order, give brief details of your


    academic and professional qualifications along with the grades you achieved. If
    you're looking for your first job since leaving education, include this information
    above any work experience.

    Skills - Whether you realise it or not you will have picked up many skills over
    the years, some tangible, some less so. Include every IT package or programme you
    have used as well as any foreign language skills you have gained, and state whether
    you're at a basic, intermediate or advanced level. Skills such as communication and
    project management are harder to substantiate and should be backed up with
    examples.

    HW.:10

    Hobbies and interests - Including these is optional and often used to fill up
    space at the end of the document. The idea is to give the interviewer a more
    rounded picture and, perhaps, something more personal to discuss at an interview.

    References - It's not necessary to list referees on your CV, but you should
    state that details are available on request. If this is your first job, it's a good idea to
    nominate tutors or mentors. You'll obviously need to choose references that you're
    confident will give positive remarks, but you should also make sure they would be
    easily contactable by potential employers when the time comes.

    A clear and simple layout - Always keep your CV to two pages of A4. It
    should be clear to anyone reading your CV where to find the information they're
    looking for, with enough white space' to ensure they're not overawed at first glance.

    The purpose of this document is not to get you the job, but to get you an
    interview. Always remember you're not writing a CV for yourself, you are writing
    it for your reader. As you write your CV, put yourself in their shoes. Keep it short,
    to the point and, above all else, interesting.

    Due to the high volume of applications they receive, a recruiter will generally
    spend at most 20 seconds initially reviewing each CV, so it's important to get it
    right. If you follow the structure outlined above, you're on the right track to
    presenting the information in a clear, concise and persuasive way.

    Things to watch out for


    Time spent making sure your CV is crisp and relevant is always time well spent.
    There are plenty of simple mistakes that are often overlooked that will turn your
    readers off before they've gone much further than your name and address.

    Resist the urge to jazz up your CV with images or colour .

    Steer clear of long paragraphs.

    Careful use of bold type can be effective, but don't overdo it.

    Underlining should be reserved for website links only.

    Use typefaces like Times New Roman' or Arial' - they're easier to read.

    Avoid using font sizes smaller than 11pt, employers won't strain their eyes to
    read it.

    Don't use txt speak and only use abbreviations if they're universally known.

    And finally
    Check for spelling or typographical errors. Any errors are your responsibility and
    are one of the first things employers use to weed out the weaker candidates.
    Even if the role you're after doesn't require a high level of literacy, spelling
    errors scream lack of care, which is an undesirable quality for any recruiter.
    Don't put all your faith in a spell checker as many are set to American settings
    as a default. If you're not sure about a word, look it up in a dictionary.

    Before you distribute your finished document or upload it to the Internet, get
    someone to look over it. Professional CV checkers see hundreds of CVs every
    day and can immediately spot things that may put off a potential employer
