What’s on your CV? – Jobs & Work activity

This poster is much more than a nice game to chat about useful skills at work in the classroom: your students will also get to learn and use all the key phrases to ace a job interview.

How to use this activity?

Students can play individually, in pairs or as a group. The point of the game is to associate the words in red with the words in blue to generate a mini CV or cover letter to be prepared for a job interview.

For example:

I’m bad at… working with computers and I’m not… tech-savvy, but I like… working with my hands and being outside.

Feel free to let students associate the halves for themselves freely or give a constraint such as “Create a CV for someone who wants to be a programmer/journalist/teacher, etc…”

If students create their own CV’s, you can have the other students act as recruiters who will then tell them which jobs they are qualified for or not. If they create somebody else’s CV, they can try and make the others guess what job that person is applying for.

As a teacher of ESL and French as a foreign language for several years, I have had the opportunity to work in several countries and with a wide variety of students. Now my job got even better: I get to help make your lessons all pretty and fun! Rather cool, I'd say.

It takes a team of 13 to create and produce this material. In order for that to continue, please think about purchasing your own subscription to ESL Expertz and encourage your colleagues to do the same. We appreciate your confidence and support!
