How to write a CV
1. Which of the jobs would you like to apply for? Think about whether you have the necessary skills qualities.
I would like to apply for the position of a zoo volunteer at the city zoo. I love animals and I have read a lot about them, so I think I can help a lot. At home, I often take care of my family’s two dogs. Feeding them and walking them every day are my duties, so I think I have relevant experience.

2. C
