The Leprechaun

Hello my friends
Now, what do you think?
I was here and gone
As quick as a wink!
 
I danced in your room
and lost a shoe
I don't remember where,
But you may have a clue
 
I'm a little Leprechaun
All dressed in green
The tiniest man
That you have ever seen

If you catch me, so it's told
I'll give you my pot of gold

You can prepare your own meals for your trip. Making your own meals may save time and money, and you know exactly what goes into everything you prepare. Vegetables and sandwiches are easy to make, so they are useful foods for short trips. For very long trips, you may buy food or eat in restaurants. Remember: you should not eat fast or junk food. Good food keeps you healthy and happy and you can enjoy every minute of your trip.

As part of my studies, I had to do some work placements.
To apply for a work placement, you need a CV and a cover letter
If I want to apply for a job somewhere in Europe, I will need a CV in English
That's why I worked on my CV and I made a video CV too.
Because if you're looking for an apprentichsip or a work placement in Europe, a video CV is the best chance to stand out from other candidates. It's a very popular method of applying in Anglo-saxon countries and is now becoming more and more popular in France

For this, we studied the typical elements of the CV
Next I wrote my CV in relation to my qualifications and work experience

In class, we also worked on SOFT SKILLS and HARD SKILLS

After that, we watched 4 video CVs to identify the elements of the paper CV.

These CV videos were creative ones that used humour to distinguish them from more classic ones. They were scripted like a short story

I really think the Video CV is the solution to be selected as the ideal candidate for a post in a company.
if the video CV is really good and creative, the recruiter wants to know more about you and will select your application and ask you to come for a job interview.

Unlike a paper CV, the video will allow recruiters to discover your personality and skills in an original way. You can present yourself and demonstrate how motivated you are.
Besides you will show in the best way your creativity which is a soft skill very much appreciated in a team.

To make my video CV, first I introduced myself and gave some contact details : where I live, who I am, my education background
The second step is to focus on my work experience and the skills I developed through my work experience. This is when I need to highlight my soft skills.
Personally, I'm a great team player and a great communicator.

Number 3 is talking about myself, my passions, and my future projects. This part is very important to as it will allow the recruiter to know a little more about my personality.

Most important is the conclusion of the video. I explained in my video CV why I am the ideal person for the job.

and at the end of the video I wrote my email address and my contact details.

The video is short but effective and I can post it on social networks, such as LinkedIn or Facebook or Instagram to apply for a job in Europe. Because social networks are also the new way of advertising jobs and recruiting !

Ahoy there!
Look at me! ARR! I’m a pirate! There is a paRRRot on my shoulder... I always wear a long coat and a leather boot; my hat is called a tricorn. I’ve got a beard and I’ve got a tattoo on my foreaRRRm but you can’t see it!
One day in a battle, I lost my hand so I replaced it with a hook! I had two legs before that fight but now, my left leg is a wooden leg!
And before the fight, I had two eyes, now, I’ve got an eyepatch on my right eye and a scaRRR under my left eye.
Ho! And I’ve got a pistol under my coat. And there is a big knife, called a dagger, on the other side. But you can’t see it...

You will love it.
