Activity type: Role play
Time: 20–25 minutes
Preparation:  Click here to download the job advertisement sheet. Print it out. Photocopy one job advertisement sheet for each student.
Procedure: Give each student a job advertisement sheet. Tell them to read the ads and deal with any unknown vocabulary that may arise. Divide the class into two groups: "managers" and "job applicants." Have students form pairs with someone in the same group and assign one job to each pair. Tell the "managers" to think about what characteristics they are looking for in an applicant, the type of job experience that is necessary, and the kinds of questions they would ask a prospective employee. Tell the "applicants" to create a job history for themselves and think about what characteristics they might need for the job. When all the students are ready, pair up the managers with the job applicants and ask them to role-play the interview process.
Option: Have students form pairs. Give each student a job advertisement sheet. Tell students to pick a job and to create a resume/CV that will help them get the position. If time allows, ask them to write a cover letter to accompany their resume/CV.
