melodie: should we invite everyone else back in? |
| 01:20 |
|

pdurbin I don't think so |
| 01:20 |

Goodbox tu peux quitter s'il te plaît ? |

pdurbin I think the only problem is on the side of TechDesk and this should be solved at next evening |
| 01:21 |
|
Goodbox |

pdurbin can you give info to me about a pair of things related to "resumes" and "cover letters" ? |
| 01:27 |

melodie: if it's quick I can try |
| 01:28 |
|
melodie |
it's probably very quick |
| 01:28 |
|
melodie |
should we talk privately ? |
| 01:32 |
|
pdurbin |
oh, I thought it was a general question |
| 01:33 |
|
melodie |
perhaps, or not |
| 01:33 |
|
melodie |
I think I can ask here |
| 01:33 |
|
melodie |
in France the recruiters ask for CV and "motivation letter", must probably be what you call a cover letter... not sure |
| 01:34 |
|
pdurbin |
yes, that sounds right |
| 01:34 |
|
melodie |
but they don't ask for a sample. I want to send my CV and so on to a company who asks in both countries. (I want to try to get a job remotely) so I'll send my documents in French and in English |
| 01:35 |
|
melodie |
if I understand what I read this evening about a sample letter, that might be more or less any writing that anyone can understand ? |
| 01:36 |
|
melodie |
I was going throught what I wrote most recently in English. I thought I might present this post: |

Ubuntu Openbox Remix 12.04 without a session manager (lighter) - http://beta.linuxvillage.net/index.php/topic,292.msg1979.html#msg1979 |
| 01:36 |
|
melodie |
in a company where they know free software, would that be ok ? |
| 01:36 |
|
melodie |
this was my first question, and the second is : "any specific advise about what a cover letter should look like?" |
| 01:36 |
|
pdurbin |
when I hear "sample letter" it makes me think of "writing sample" ... if you were going to work for a newspaper they would want a writing sample from you for sure... |
| 01:37 |
|
melodie |
this company wants to see if the person writes correctly. |
| 01:37 |
|
pdurbin |
ah. ok. makes sense then |
| 01:38 |
|
melodie |
I can send a recipe I wrote a pair of years ago, for the French side, and I would maybe send this one for the English part... or something else |
| 01:38 |
|
pdurbin |
and I think that's a good sample you linked to |
| 01:38 |
|
melodie |
you can have a look at the picture in the recipe page if you wish : http://meets.citrotux.org/2008/04/03/un-bon-plat-de-fin-dhiver |
| 01:38 |
|
melodie |
ah, thanks ! |
| 01:39 |
|
pdurbin |
yum! |
| 01:39 |
|
melodie |
:D |
| 01:40 |
|
pdurbin |
I don't have much specific advise about cover letters. just explain why you're interested in the job and how your skills match what they want |
| 01:41 |
|
pdurbin |
advice* |
| 01:45 |
|
melodie |
I am going to try... :) |
