2.2 Uraian Materi 1

A. Where do Presentation Skills have an impact in the


Workplace?

Presentation skills will help in the following workplace or


professional circumstances:
 At interviews, as the interviewer or interviewee
 At meetings, face to face or in a conference call
PBI “English for Business” Brawijaya University 2018
 At networking functions, meeting new people or getting to
know ones you already know.
 Speaking to colleagues and staff
 Delivering a presentation to clients detailing a technical topic
or selling a product
 Presenting at conferences
 Speaking at large internal meetings
 Speaking at Chamber of Commerce or Rotary promoting
your business
 Speaking with suppliers
 Speaking with clients
 Presenting training
 Attending training

B. Culture at work: Formal and Informal Presentation


In formal presentations, the speaker usually wears smart clothes
and uses very polite language. They don’t make much direct contact with
the audience. In informal presentations, speakers wear casual clothes and
use more everyday language. They talk in a friendly way to the audience,
often asking questions and accepting interruptions. Some cultures prefer
business presentation to be formal; others prefer a more informal style.

C. What to be concerned in presentation


 Know Your Audience
Understand what the audience wants to get out of the presentation.
You need to be mindful of the people in the meeting or in the conference
room. This is so your presentation will meet and exceed the audience’s
expectations, and so your audience gets what they came for.
 Plan your Presentation
Planning the structure of your presentation – and knowing
what structure works for your audience – is very important. For your
audience to absorb your information, it needs to be delivered in an easy-
to-follow format.
 Make it Interesting
Attention spans are not long, no matter how advanced the audience
is. Make sure you’ve included some really interesting points, and vary
the type of interest points, as this will help to keep the attention of the
meeting.
 Dress the Part
Your appearance in the workplace matters. Not only are you meant
to be a thought leader in your chosen presentation topic, you are also in
competition with others wanting to advance. If you are not well
presented, with respect to clothes, hair, shoes, paperwork, etc., people
will notice and it will have an impact.
 Show you Care
PBI “English for Business” Brawijaya University 2018
Your enthusiasm for the topic is essential. If you seem
disinterested in the topic you are talking about, your audience will pick
up on this.
 Be Organised
Your audience will appreciate you being organised for a meeting or
a presentation. If there are little changes or hiccups, your audience will
understand. If you are unorganised and you appear to have not put in an
effort, the attendees will not sympathise, and they will get annoyed.
 Discuss the ―Elephant in the Room‖
If there is an issue, if something isn’t working, you are experiencing
a problem, then make a mention of whatever it is and then move on. If
we hold back from discussing something important (which may not have
an impact on the meeting topic), then get this discussion done, and then
move on. If you don’t, the attendees will be thinking about that rather
than the actual topic at hand.
 Get a Grip on your Nerves
Handling nervousness and building confidence is important – you
will struggle to get your message across if you struggle here. Being
mindful of how you present at work will really help with your
interactions with colleagues and clients. This will ultimately impact on
whether you get that important raise, or that desired new job.

D. Short Presentation
The ability to make a short presentation of your ideas is a key
business skill that enables you to communicate statistical information,
present ideas and persuade people of the strengths of your argument. To
do this effectively you need to prepare:
a) Make a plan of your talk. This should include at least three sections:
introduction, development, and conclusion.
b) Write detailed notes of what you will say, for example: showing key
points and keywords, transitions between the different sections, visual
aids you will refer to, and the action points you will stress.
c) Practice your presentation to make sure that you use simple and clear
language, your talk does not go over time available, and you will not
need to read from your notes.

E. Steps of Good Presentation


To make it simple, there are three steps in a presentation; starting,
main parts, and ending. See the table below:

A. WHAT IS NEGOTIATING?
In general, negotiation (Zohar, 2015) defined as communicative way to
resolve some conflicts or disagreement between two or more parties.
Negotiation takes place when two or more people have different views and want
different things. They come together to try and reach agreement. During the
negotiation, the two sides make contact for suggestion and counter suggestion
so that communication is needed between the parties. Each side employs its own
tactics in an effort to reach maximum results. The negotiating process involves
balancing matters between two parties so that the negotiator what he wants in
the best possible way (Forsyth, 2009). We all negotiate for things each day. We
arrange an appointment, ask for better service, ask for a higher salary, or solve
an argument with a co-worker or family member.

B. NEGOTIATING IN BUSINESS
The word negotiation is derived from Latin word negotiatus which
means “to trade or do business”, so that the negotiating process particularly
connected with business and commerce. Practically, many aspects in business
cooperation should be managed via negotiation so that the effective negotiation
becomes the main concern in the business world. Considering that negotiating is
not ability that an individual is born with it, negotiation skills can be developed
and learned from many practices. The only key to become a successful business
negotiator is the learning of negotiation skills and continuously improving them.

C. STEPS IN NEGOTIATION
An effective negotiation process includes some components such as
managing the negotiation’s strategy or approach, its stages, and the specific
tactic used (Adler, 2002). There are some variations of negotiation model
structure that have been proposed by different author. Prior to the negotiation
process there is always a preparation period. During preparation, the
negotiators have to decide on their objectives, the style of negotiating, the target
price, reservation point, BATNA (best alternative to a negotiated agreement),
PBI “English for Business” Brawijaya University 2018

type of agreement etc. Brainstorming for generating options and ideas is very
helpful. In business meeting, planning the outcome and preparing the
negotiation process are both important. In business relationships cases, the
stakes are high and there is need to prepare, plan, and negotiate more carefully
(Ghauri and Usunier, 2002).
The negotiators need to decide what they want to achieve and why the
other party should negotiate with them so that, it is needed to arrange a
preparation list. A preparation list becomes the key to success in business
negotiation, because any good business meeting has a preparation. Any good
negotiation has a preparation, too. Organizing and planning an agenda helps you
in three ways: (1) Identify your own issues, priorities, and goals, (2) You
identify your opponent's issues, priorities, and goals, (3) It helps you maintain
discipline.
Furthermore, there are some steps that follow after the preparation. It
starts with the following steps (Emmerson, 2009):
1. Relationship building
 In this step, the negotiators need to establish positive impressions, seek
information, test understanding, get to know the other person, exchange
information about the two companies, discuss the market, and generally
build trust. In this step the negotiators establish rapport. It is important to
show interest in what the other side has to say and to create a positive
climate for the whole negotiation process.
2. Exploring initial positions
 Stating needs and asking questions. In a commercial negotiation, the
supplier explains the product in depth and shows how it brings value to
the customer’s business.
3. Bargaining/Debating
 Not just on price, but on a range of linked issues such as quantity,
minimum order, discounts, delivery time, service plans and warranties
(guarantees), terms of payment, exclusivity in a particular market, the
duration of the contract, transport costs, arrangements for sharing
advertising costs, penalties if clauses in the contract are not respected.
4. Closing the deal and Summarizing
 It is advisable for negotiators to summarize which agreements have
already been reached and which responsibilities have already been
assigned. It is essential to point out any issues which still have to be
agreed on and resolved in the near future. Summarizing can be used to
check comprehension, play for time and maintain a positive atmosphere
by reviewing progress and to finally conclude the meeting or negotiation.
5. Greetings
 When the negotiation has come to an end, negotiators will exchange
final greetings, thank for cooperation, and look forward to further
activities.

3.2 Uraian Materi II

DIPLOMATIC LANGUAGE IN NEGOTIATION


Every negotiation can empower the speaker if it is conducted skillfully and
collaboratively. The use of diplomatic language in negotiations adds a polite tone to
the conversation. The language becomes less direct and softer. Here are some
examples of diplomatic language expressions:

Direct: Softer, more indirect:


This product is very expensive. To be honest, this product seems quite
We want a 5% discount. expensive.
That will be difficult. We were thinking of, say, something
We must … . around 5%.
This is a big problem You must … . That won’t be easy.

USEFUL EXPRESSIONS IN NEGOTIATION PROCESS


Interacting with other people in a formal or informal context often involves
some degree of negotiating. Before you negotiate, you should have a clear idea of
your objectives and strategy. You should also find out what common ground you
share with the other side and understand which points will be the hardest to
negotiate. Look at the following phrases, which can be used when negotiating.

a. Another option is … g. I’m prepared to offer you …


b. Here’s what we have in mind … h. Alternatively, we could …
c. That’s out of the question! i. Done!
d. Of course, you’ll have to … j. I’ll have to think that over.
e. No way! k. We’ll need more time.
f. You’ve got a deal! l. Take it or leave it!

A. NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION
Non-verbal communication is important in negotiations. This includes body
language as well as the tone of our voice or even our decision not to respond. Not
answering a question can communicate many things – that we are ignoring it, that
we have not heard it or that we simply do not know the answer. Walking briskly
may show how confident we are, while crossed our arms over our chest may be a
sign of defensiveness. Open palms suggest openness and sincerity, while rubbing
an eye can be a sign of disbelief and doubt. A tilted head means interest and, when
somebody is stroking their chin, they are trying to make a decision.

CONCLUSION
Speak up your opinion!
 How can negotiate help or harm business?
 What are some qualities of a good negotiator?

B. TIPS FOR BETTER NEGOTIATION


Your working life is full of negotiations. You don’t just negotiate with other
companies. You negotiate whenever there are two parties with different needs.
And even though everyone involved wants to find a compromise that is mutually
acceptable, many people dislike negotiating because of the conflicting interests.
But negotiations need not be confrontational. Don’t try to win a
negotiation. If you treat it as a contest, you will create a hostile athmosphere.
Respect the other person and try to understand his/her needs. This way, you can
create a spirit of cooperation.
Sometimes the other party may reject your suggestions, and you need to
anticipate this. A negotiation is a trade-off, and sometimes you will need to back
down. So, prepare alteantive options in case your preferred solution is
unacceptable. Finally, don’t negotiate if you are tired or stressed. You will never
close the deal when negotiations are too intense. Reschedule to another time.

Writing Email: General Requirements

Formal VS Informal

We write a formal email when we want to be polite, or when we do


not know the reader very well. A lot of work emails are formal.
PBI “English for Business” Brawijaya University 2018
Look at the example (formal):

Starting an email: We normally write a comma after the opening phrase. We start
a new line after the name of the person we‟re writing to.

Finishing an email: We normally write a comma after the closing phrase. We start
a new line to write our name at the end.

Formal Informal

Dear Mr Piper, Hi Tim,


I am writing to thank you for all your Many thanks for your help.
help. See you next week.
I look forward to seeing you next week. Cheers,
With best wishes, John
John Smith
PBI “English for Business” Brawijaya University 2018
Here are some phrases which we use for starting and finishing emails.

Formal Informal Both (Formal and


Informal)

Starting Dear Mr Piper, Hi Tim, Dear Tim,


phrases Dear Sir or Hi there Tim, Good morning, Tim
Madam, Morning/Afternoon/Eve
ning Tim,
To Whom It
Hello again Tim,
May Concern,

Ending Yours Rgds, Regards,


phrases sincerely, Cheers, With best wishes,
Yours Bye for now, With many thanks and
faithfully, See you soon, best wishes,
Yours truly,

Organizing your writing

At the body of your email, you need to clearly state the purpose of your writing.
You can do this by using the phrase 'I am writing to (+ verb)' at the start of
your email. Here are some examples:

I am writing to ...... ask for further details about ....


inform you that my new address is ...
complain about your latest product
offer our new products
` I am writing in reference to ............

It is also important to end your email politely. Here are some examples:

- Thank you for your cooperation


- Thank you for your consideration
- If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to let me
know
- I look forward to hearing from you

Write your email in paragraphs

- Emails are easier to read if the writer uses paragraphs.


- A paragraph in an email is often two or three sentences long.
- Each paragraph starts on a new line.
- When you start writing about a new topic, you can start a new paragraph.
PBI “English for Business” Brawijaya University 2018
Look again at this example: email to offer the products

Paragraph 1 Dear Ms. Dian,


Greeting
I am writing to offer your company the opportunity to distribute
Paragraph 2 and sell two of our new supplement products, B-All Recovery
Reason for writing Formula and Swallow-EZ Wellness Formula. Please kindly
find the attached proposal.
These two products have been developed especially for patients
with incurable diseases and designed to complement specific
Paragraph 3 prescription drugs that you already sell. You will find that
Other information recommending these two formulas in combination with your
medicines will enhance patients' health and physicians'
satisfaction with your drug products and your company.
Paragraph 4 After considering the enclosed proposal, please call to further
'look forward to' and discuss this opportunity
ending
Paragraph 5
Yours sincerely,
Ending phrases

Email Etiquette

Rule 1: Always check you've got the right name in the 'To' box. And make sure
your email only goes to the people who need to read it. Remember that if you reply
to all, then everyone will get your email. Does the whole sales team really need to
read your email to one person about something unimportant?
Rule 2: This sounds obvious, but don't forget to attach the attachement files. A
word of advice – attach the file you want to send before you start writing. That way,
you can't forget to attach it.
Rule 3: If you write 'CAN YOU LET ME KNOW THIS WEEK?' you are basically
shouting at your reader. They will think you are very rude. So just don't do it.
Rule 4: Short emails sometimes sound rude. However, people won't read very long
emails. Keep emails short, but remember to be polite and friendly.
Rule 5: This is important, especially if it's a work email. If you make mistakes in
your email, people will think you also make mistakes in your work. So always
check everything carefully. Ask a colleague to read and check it before you hit
'Send'.

Those general requirements of Business Email can be adapted based on your


needs. However, some tips may help you write effectively.

Writing Email: Offering Products

- Your email should not be too long. Therefore, you would better offer your
detailed product in the attached files.
PBI “English for Business” Brawijaya University 2018
You may write: I am writing to inform you that we are going to give 50%
discount on most of our products next month. Please kindly find the
attached brochures.

- You should only put a glance information about your product at your email.

You may write: The 50% discount will be given to almost all of science
books. Therefore, I think this offer will be suitable for your institution.

- Write at the end of your email that you expect a positive response from your
offer.

You may write: If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to let
me know. I will be happy to help you.I look forward to hearing from you

Writing Email: Complaint

- Quickly get to the point. Attach your evidences.

You may say: I am writing to complain about a faulty hair dryer I


purchased from your company on the 15th July. Please find attached a copy
of my receipt and short video of your error product.

- State specifically what outcome or remedy will satisfy you

You may say: As a dedicated customer, I hope you will work to resolve my
problem and find a resolution.

- Give them a time limit to resolve your problem

You may say: I will wait one week to hear back from you about this issue,
and then I will seek help from a consumer protection agency.

- Finish the letter respectfully. Put your contact number so that they can
contact you easily.

You may say: I hope to hear back from you about this incident. I can be
reached by phone at 777-7777 at any time.

that he/she may write some rude words. However, a good customer service will be
able to respond politely by apologizing and offering solution.

From : Gertrude Rombach

Dear Mr. Frank Knockaert,

In response to your email of February 23, we apologize for the error in your shipment.

We are sending immediately the additional 1000 cases of facsimile paper, model P-345X, that
were not included in the shipment.

We value our relationship with your company, and we regret the inconvenience the incomplete
shipment may have caused you. You can be assured that this will not happen in the future.

Yours sincerely.

having with our store. We are sorry ...

 I certainly understand your frustation at being sent the wrong order

Other critics say the same. I am sorry.
PBI “English for Business” Brawijaya University 2018
- Giving solution

response it politely whether you can provide them the request they want or
not.

 We understand that you want your money back. Therefore, you


can send back our product. We will give you the requested refund
soon after accepting our product.
 I am sorry, but I cannot give you the requested refund.
If you cannot give them the requested solution, offer another

2.2 Uraian Materi 1


BAD MANNERS AT WORK

Etiquette is the name we give to the rules for being polite in a social
group. Business etiquette is important for people who often have to make
new contacts and build relationships in their works. Politeness can also
help to improve the working environment for people in the same office.
Some cultures and situations are formal, which means that we have to follow
rules; other cultures and situations are more informal.

2.3 Uraian Tugas 1


Task 1
1. Discuss these examples of bad manners. Which ones do you think are
especially bad? Why?
 Arriving late for a meeting
 Ignoring people when you meet them
 Shouting an order at someone
 Not apologizing if you offend someone
 Being rude to people who offer to help you
 Using bad language

2. What other examples of good or bad manners can you think of? Work
in small groups and make two lists. Then compare your lists with other
groups. Do you all have the same opinions about politeness?

Task 2 Reading

1. Read the article on the next page and find six examples of bad
manners. Which three examples of bad manners is the company in the
article trying to stop?

2. Read the article again and answer the following questions.


1) What reason do office workers give for their bad manners?
2) Why is it impolite to answer a mobile phone during a meeting?
3) Are people today more polite than they were 20 years ago?
4) What are some organizations doing to improve workers’ manners?
5) What are the benefits of avoiding bad manners at work?

OFFICE WORKERS ‘ADMIT BEING RUDE’

Most office workers say they are rude or bad-mannered at work. Two
out of three worksers regularly arrive late at meetings, most ignore emails
and three out of four use bad language. In a survey of 1.000 workers, two-
thirds say that pressure at work is the reason for their bad manners.
Other common examples of bad office ettiquete include ignoring
collegues and answering mobile phone calls during meetings. Using mobile
phones in meeting is impolite and disracts others, research by the University
of Surrey shows. If you respond to a call when speaking to somebody, it
PBI “English for Business” Brawijaya University 2018

means that the phone call is more important than the person, the survey said.
If you answer a call during a meeting, it could mean that you think the
meeting is not important.
Mr. Jacobs, managing directir of Office Angels, a recruitment firm,
says it is easy for people to forget their manners in the working environmeny,
which is often very informal and very busy. Workers can forget proper
etiquette such as introducing people at meetings, and this is often bad for
working relationships.
Psychologist Dr Colin Gill believes that people are not as polite as
they were twenty years ago. He said: ‘Courtesy is no longer something that is
so much respected in our society’. People think it is ‘stuffy to be polite or
formal.’
Now some organisations are actually investing money in training
their junior managers to be polite. Office Angels is encouraging people to
arrive on time for meetings, turn off mobile phones and avoid bad language.
‘Avoiding bad mannes at work is such a simple thing to do,’ Mr Jacobs says,
‘and it can have a dramatic impact on improving your working environment
and your relationships with others.’

Glossary
distract stop people paying attention
stuffy old fashioned, boring, not friendly

Case Study
A WORKPLACE BULLY
Brief:
Elizabeth works for a computer company. At first, she liked the job
and believed that she could do it well. But now, she has a problem: her
team leader, Valma, is a bully. Valma seems to dislike Elizabeth. She
always finds problems with her work. If Elizabeth makes a small
mistake, she shouts at her in front of her colleagues: ‘What’s wrong
with you? Are you stupid?’ She doesn’t talk to the other team
members in this way. She gives Elizabeth all the most boring and
difficult tasks to do. Elizabeth wants to go on a training course. She
wants to specialize and be able to do more interesting work. But
Valma, always finds a reason to stop her. She tells her she has no
ability. Elizabeth feels tired and stressed. She is starting to believe that
she really is stupid. What should Elizabeth do?
She has four options:
 Talk to her colleagues about it
 Talk to Valma herself
 Report the bullying to senior manager in the company
 Leave the job
PBI “English for Business” Brawijaya University 2018
Task 1
To find a good solution, it is helpful to understand why someone is a bully.
There are three main types of bully. Read about one of these types. Work in
three groups: A, B, and C. Then read the descriptions of types of bully
below.

Group A
Some bullies love power. They want to be in control of everything and
everybody. These bullies make life difficult for all their subordinates. They
usually have psychological problems and it isn’t easy to change their
management style.
Group B
Some bullies hate mistakes. They want their oen work to be perfect and they
want everyone else to be perfect too. These bullies don’t consider other
people’s feelings when they find problems with their work. They often don’t
know they are bullying. Sometimes it can help to talk to these bullies about
their management style.
Group C
Some people become bullies because they are very unsure of themselves.
They are afraid of competition from other people who may be better than
them. They hate the idea of someone else doing well in their job. They think
that the only way to improve their own success is to keep their competitors
back.

Task 2
Form groups of three: one person from each group (A, B, C) above. Take
turns to describe one type of bully to your partners. Which description do
you think best matches Valma? Using the information about this type of
bully, decide on the best option for Elizabeth. Of course, she can try more
than one option. Bu which one is not such a good solution? Why?

Task 3 Write it up
Write a friendly email to Elizabeth. Explain why you think Valma is bullying
Elizabeth. Tell her what she should do.

MEETING ETIQUETTE – BE POLITE, BE PRODUCTIVE!


Some meetings are really unproductive. People bicker – they talk over others and don’t
listen. Consequently, meetings drag on and on. This wouldn’t happen if businesses had
a set of meeting rules. Instead, meetings would be useful, productive and short! Here
are my suggestions for meeting etiquette.
A. Send your apologies if you cannot attend. Your colleagues may be waiting for
you so they can start the meeting.
B. State your opinion once only. If it’s a good idea, people will take note.
There’s no need to repeat yourself.
C. If you disagree with someone, don’t interrupt. Wait until the other person
finishes speaking, and then state your objection.
D. Don’t use jargon. Your colleagues may not be specialists in your field, so they
need to keep asking for explanations. This waste time. Talk in everyday
language si that everybody can understand.

2.2 Uraian Materi 1

Writing an Impressive CV

Today‟s graduate job market is very competitive and your CV is your


prime marketing tool. It must highlight your skills and achievements in a clear
and positive light which will persuade the employer to call you for an
interview. Many applicants fail to make it to interview because of ineffective
evidence of their skills and experience, poor presentation and careless spelling
and grammar. Taking time and some simple advice can really make all the
difference. Here we will show you how to write an impressive CV and how to
avoid the pitfalls.

Warm-up
Before we learn to write a CV, discuss the following questions in pairs:
1. What does CV stand for?
2. What is the main purpose of a CV?
3. What are the key qualities of a successful CV?
4. How many sections are there in a typical CV? What are they?
5. What is the best way to structure the contents of your CV?

A. Basic Principles
Curriculum vitae (CV) means “story of your life”. However, with only one or
two pages for your CV you can‟t afford to treat this literally. A CV isn‟t a list
of everything you have ever done; it is a marketing document. Be selective
about what you include. It should focus on those skills and experiences most
relevant to your target employer. Your mission is to ensure that, after a 20
second scan, the employer can pick out evidence that you have exactly the
skills and experience they are looking for.

B. Content and Style


All CVs need to contain some standard information, which normally includes:
 Personal details – name, address,
 telephone number and e-mail address
 Education and qualifications
 Employment history
 Interests, activities and achievements
 Reference

In designing the CV, we need to follow some requirements as follows:


 Usually two sides of A4 or the equivalent in electronic format.
 Avoid coloured or textured paper.
 Be clear and concise.
 Be consistent with font type and size. Line up text.
PBI “English for Business” Brawijaya University 2018
 Make sure key information is not hidden by too much text; try breaking
up with bullet points.
 Use headings or format text in bold to draw attention to important
points.
 Spelling and grammar must be accurate.

However, there is not one correct style of CV to use. All CVs should be
targeted to meet the requirements of an advertised vacancy or a particular
employer. The two most commonly used CV formats are:

 Chronological: the most common format outlining your experiences in


reverse date order.
 Skills based: this highlights and gives evidence of your relevant skills.
It is particularly appropriate if you wish to demonstrate transferable
skills.

2.3 UraianTugas 1

Exercise 1
In pairs, discuss the following questions.

1. Try to identify the two following CVs. Which one is skill-based CV and
which one is chronological CV?
2. Why are skills-based CVs particularly popular with career changers
andrecent graduates?
3. Which approach is more common in the country you are applying for
workin?

Creating a strong first impression Through a Personal Statement
A personal statement is a brief statement of the type of person you are, your skills
and your achievements. It always comes near the top of the CV, before the main
body, and presents the facts in the most positive way. A well-written personal
statement will immediately capture the attention of the employer and make them
want to find out more about you.
Identifying your key skills
Your CV needs to match the particular job you are applying for. For example, if
the job requires skills in teamwork and creativity, you need to ensure the
employer can clearly see that you have gained these skills somewhere in your life.
Maybe you worked in a team on a course project or perhaps you had a creative
idea for an event which a society organised. The important thing is that the
employer can see that your CV is tailored to them and not a generic CV that is
being sent to every employer.

3.3 UraianTugas 2

Highlighting your workexperience
This is the section in the CV where youhighlight your professional
achievementswhich are directly relevant to the positionyou are applying for.
As well as highlightingperiods of full- and part-time employment,the work
experience section may also includeprofessional training, voluntary work, and
anyextended periods in which your life focused ona particular activity (e.g.
travelling abroad).
Using positive, action oriented words creates the impression of a
positive and proactive person. Use words such as “achieved”, “created” and
“organised” and avoid tentative words such as “maybe”, “attempted” and
“perhaps”. The aim is to make your CV as persuasive as possible. Present
information in the most positive light but remember there is a clear distinction
between doing this and exaggerating. Make sure your spelling and grammar
is accurate.Most CVs can be improved by a greater attention to the language
and grammar you use. CV and application form writing is an art. It is one you
can learn with a bit of perseverance and a good dictionary and thesaurus!
Here are some golden rules.

“Make verbs work for you”


Your best friends are active verbs and your worst enemies are passive verbs.
Example:
Do not say: Resolution of customer queries to tight deadlines was required.
Do say: Resolved customer queries within tight deadlines.
Do not say: I was responsible for organising a programme of speakers.
Do say: I organised a programme of speakers.
Using action words in your CV and covering letter will help you to
convey achievement, ability and impact. The verbs listed below are only a
few of the many you can use in describing your experience and
accomplishments. Make sure you have an action verb for each entry in your
CV‟s “Experience” section.

Let’s Practice!
When you give information about past work experience and achievements in a CV,

Ms Diana Allsopp
Recruitment Manager
McClure and Company

Dear Ms Allsopp,

1. I am a final-year student at King’s College London reading Economics, and I would like to
apply for an Associate Consultant position with McClure andCompany, as advertised on
www.monster.com.

2. Management consultancy appeals to me because it combines analytic research across a wide


range of business situations with frequent clientcontact. I recently attended a McClure and
Company workshop run by Charlotte Penton-Smith, and she gave a very positive impression
of the company. I was particularly impressed by the excellent in-house training programme
which she described, and I would welcome the opportunity to work in such a close-knit team
of supportive colleagues.

3. During my time at King’s College I have employed a variety of different research methods,
and I am familiar with the analytical applications of spread sheets. For example, for my recent
dissertation, I used Excel to compare the effects of tax increases on alcohol and tobacco
consumption. In addition, when I was working at the Williton branch of Costcutter over the
summer, I presented suggestions for improving the layout of the store to the regional
management team. They decided to put these ideas into effect and sales rose by 7% over the
autumn quarter.

4. During my free time, I sing in and manage a jazz band, arranging concerts and gigs, and
managing the band’s accounts. I very much enjoy collaborating with a team of people with
similar interests and working towards shared goals. I am also learning Italian by attending
weekly evening classes and studying on myown towards the A-level exam next June.

5. I enclose a copy of my CV and hope very much to be invited for interview.

Yours sincerely,

Jane Nuttall

2.2 UraianMateri 1
Tips for Interview

1. Preparing for the interview


Preparation is the key to a successful interview. The other
candidates may have similar qualifications, skills and
experience. The interview is your opportunity to prove
you are the best candidate for the job. Ensuring you are
well-prepared will help you to reduce stress, increase
your confidence and improve your chances of being
offered the job
PBI “English for Business” Brawijaya University 2018
2. Making a positive first impression
Before Arrive
You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
People start forming their impression of you immediately,
looking at the outside and making assumptions about the
inside. It is your responsibility to ensure that you send out
the right message about who you are, through your
physical appearance, your clothes and your body
language.
Small Talk
The outcome of an interview can be decided in the first
five minutes. From the moment you arrive for an
interview you are being assessed. Even before the
interview itself begins you will be communicating a
message about who you are. In order to create a positive
impression, it’s important that from the moment you
arrive what you say is clear, confident and enthusiastic.
Body Language
Much of the impact you create at an interview is based on
your body language, and getting this right is essential.
The way you walk, sit and act may influence your
interviewer’s opinion of you as much as what you
actually say.
3. Dealing with questions
Responding to questions at an interview is your
opportunity to give evidence of your skills and
experience, prove you know what the job entails, and
demonstrate that you are the best person for the job
4. Talking about yourself
In all interviews you will be required to talk about
yourself. The interviewers want to find out whether
you’re the type of person who would be able to do the job
and also whether your personality would fit in with the
rest of the company.
5. Avoiding common mistakes
Whatever job you’re applying for, there are some
questions that you will nearly always get asked. Preparing
for these questions will help you to use them to
demonstrate effectively why you are the best candidate
for the position.
6. Do research about the company
Successful candidates are the ones who research the job
and the company. They are able to walk into an interview
confident they have exactly what the company is looking
for.
