There are many mistakes that people make when writing their resume (CV) or completing a job
application. Here are some of the most common and most serious.
The biggest problem is perhaps listing the duties for which you were (21) ___________in a past
position: all this tells your potential employers is what you were supposed to do. They do not
necessarily know the specific skills (22) ___________ you used in executing them, nor do they know
what results you achieved - both of which are essential. In short, they won’t know if you were the best,
the worst or just average in your position.
The more concrete information you can include, the better. As far as possible, provide measurements
of what you (23) ___________. If any innovations you introduced saved the organization money, how
much did they save? If you found a way of increasing productivity, by what percentage did you
increase it?
Writing what you are trying to achieve in life - your objective - is a waste of space. It tells the
employer what you are interested in. Do you really think that employers care what you want? No, they
are interested (24) ___________ what they want! Instead, use that space for a career summary. A good
one is brief - three to four sentences long. A good one will make the person reviewing your application
want to read further.
Many resumes list ‘hard’ job-specific skills, almost to the exclusion of transferable, or ‘soft’, skills.
(25) ___________, your ability to negotiate effectively, for example, can be just as important as your
technical skills.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 26 to 30
Successful students often do the followings while studying. First, they have an overview before
reading. Next, they look for important information and pay greater attention to it (which often needs
jumping forward or backward to process information). They also relate important points to one another.
Also, they activate and use their prior knowledge. When they realize that their understanding is not
good, they do not wait to change strategies. Last, they can monitor understanding and take action to
correct or "fix up" mistakes in comprehension.
Conversely, students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective study skills. They
tend to assume a passive role, in learning and rely on others (e.g., teachers, parents) to monitor their
studying, for example, low-achieving students often do not monitor their understanding of content; they
may not be aware of the purpose of studying; and they show little evidence of looking back, or
employing "fix-up" strategies to fix understanding problems. Students who struggle with learning new
information seem to be unaware that they must extent effort beyond simply reading the content to
understand and remember it. Children with learning disabilities do not plan and judge the quality of
their studying. Their studying may be disorganized. Students with learning problems face challenges
with personal organization as well. They often have difficulty keeping track of materials and
assignments, following directions, and completing work on time. Unlike good students who employ a
variety of study skills in a flexible yet purposeful manner, low-achieving students use a restricted range
of study skills. They cannot explain why good study strategies are important for learning; and they tend
to use the same, often ineffective study approach for all learning tasks, ignoring task content, structure
or difficulty.
