Lesson 5

Interviewing

Learning Intention: Learn how to sell yourself to employers.

Success Criteria

5. I can write a paragraph that could be used for my CV or cover letter.

6. I can answer potential interview questions. 

Do Now

Practice writing a cover letter for the following babysitting advertisement. 

“We are a busy family with four children aged 11, 9, 7 and 3. We are looking for a fun, energetic, caring, responsible and helpful person to help Mum out from time to time.

This would include looking after children, helping with homework, playing with the children, helping with general light household duties (i.e washing lunchboxes, clearing the bench, helping the children keep their rooms tidy). With four children an extra set of hands from time to time is very helpful.

We also have a wonderful pet dog (small) - so this role also suits someone who loves animals and is confident with dogs.

We look forward to hearing from you.”
