CV and Interviewing Process

Hello all,
 To be honest, I have always hated how many papers and documents and other administrative duties we have to go through when applying for jobs or scholarships. Just the thought that I would have to write a number of CV-s and motivational letters or cover letters was terrifying me. But after facing some of the rules and having it explained from our teacher and the book during this week, I can say that I started to feel a little bit more positive about my "old phobia". Maybe the main reason why I hated them was the lack of information that I had about how to correctly write them. But now, after becoming familiar with the materials and after hearing so many examples and personal experiences, I feel more confident when thinking about the papers and especially about the Interview, about which I learned that we have to take it seriously and be prepared if we want to be successful. I'm really looking forward to the improvisational interviews that we are going to have during this semester.
Best regards,

Resume and Cover Letter

Dear all,
during this week we got familiar with the terms of Resume and Cover letter. Although I have heard of them as terms before, I could never make the real difference between them. At the beginning it sounded a little bit confusing, but then, the teacher made it more clear to us by using the handouts and explanations. Now I'm looking forward at learning how to write both of them.
Yours,
