References (on demand)

It is quite usual to include reference letters from former employers in your application. Do not send originals, send high quality copies.

Sometimes an employer will ask for personal references. Compile a list of three persons, who are not related to you (along with their telephone/ fax number, address and occupation) and can be contacted in case of enquiries. They must be familiar with your professional qualifications and your character.

It is sufficient to communicate the list, when your potential employee asks for it.

Photo

Opinion is divided, check the job posting: some companies insist on a photo, some particularly discourage applicants from including one.

It is totally acceptable to integrate a color scan into the CV.

If you choose to send a photo it might be an idea to not attach it: If the company wants to, they can remove it from your CV. Write your name and contact information at the back. Just in case they change their mind.

Interviews

Interviewing is the process whereby individuals (usually two) exchange information. The participants may be concerned with a job opening, a promotion, a special assignment, a product sale, information for intelligence purposes, a proposed merger, or other questions. The information exchanged need not be limited to facts. In business, particularly, products of an interview such as meaning and understanding often are more significant than objective factual statements.

Job Interview
