Unit 7: Outsourcing

http://www.entrepreneur.com/encyclopedia/outsourcing

Outsourcing has become a major trend in human resources over the past decade. It's the practice of sending certain job tasks to be done outside of a company instead of handling them inside (inhouse). More and more companies are choosing outsourcing as a way to develop their businesses while keeping payroll (salaries) and overhead costs low. In short, successful outsourcing should save companies money.

CV format

There are various formats, but these categories are pretty standard, as long as they apply to you. In any case, your contact information and educational background should appear first. Objective is optional, since you may want to have a generic CV.

Here are the categories (there are name variations, but these are common):
Name
Contact Information
Education (must include city and country and specific dates of attendance)
Work Experience (must include city and country and specific dates of employment)
Skills (certificates and licenses should be written in romaji with English translation and the date you got them)
Interests

Use bullets or another symbol for each point of information. The categories should be in bold type.

example:

* 2014 ~ 1st year student in the Department of English Literature,  Faculty of Letters, Gakushuin University, Tokyo Japan
