Lila was well
informed about the job market, having spent weeks researching various
companies. As she prepared for an interview, she hoped to understand the
situation better, knowing that many applicants faced excessive competition. She
entered the room with confidence, but her enthusiasm quickly faded when the
interviewer seemed completely unaware of her qualifications.
After a few
awkward questions, Lila became extremely disappointed. She had thought she
would impress them, especially since she was quite interested in the role.
Instead, it felt as if they had misunderstood her experiences entirely.
Fortunately,
Lila didn’t let this setback deter her. She decided to seek feedback from
others who had recently interviewed. With their advice, she refined her
approach and applied to new opportunities, determined not to let one experience
define her.
In the end, her
resilience paid off, and she landed a job that was a perfect fit, far exceeding
her initial expectations.

HOW TO WRITE A LETTER OF APPLICATION
This is an example of how to write an application letter for the CAE exam.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing you regarding a
job advertisement that I saw on my university bulletin board two days
ago. I am therefore really interested in applying for the position
of children carer in your summer camp in the United States this coming
season.
I am the right person to do the
job as I have been working at public and private schools with kids and
teenagers of different ages and backgrounds for over 20 years, so I have
got broad experience in this field. I consider myself a well-trained and
highly-qualified childminder and I assure you that I am capable of working
with big groups of children of different ages.
In addition to this, I am a
talented artist. Hence, I can teach the children how to play the
guitar and the violin as well as to make cute handicrafts because I honestly
think it is important for young people to develop their creativity and find
their natural talents.
I hope you will give my
application serious consideration since I believe that I am a strong
candidate. I have a great sense of responsibility and genuinely care
about children. I also have a lot of patience, enthusiasm and energy.
I look forward to hearing from
you at your earliest convenience for a further interview.
Yours faithfully,
E.O.
