What are the differences between a CV and a resume? • What is a cover letter and have you ever written one? Why do you think some jobs require one? • Have you ever applied for a job? If yes, how do you find the process of applying for jobs here? • Have you ever made it to the interview stage of a job? How did you find the interview? What tips did you receive before the interview from family or friends?

  4. Work: General Questions • Which of your friend’s, family or acquaintances would you say has the most interesting job? What about their profession makes it interesting? • Have you ever met someone who has been fired?
