Do you want to make your CV shine?
The ECAC invites you to a workshop on how to make your CV and cover letter stand out from the crowd.

Having a CV on your hard drive can be as important as having a tissue in your pocket: you never know when you will need it. In students’ everyday life, a CV and a cover letter are more than just a document for a job hunt after four years of study. It can also be used for applying for part-time jobs, student exchange programme, honours college, or other activities. Moreover, a CV can also be a valuable record and reflection of what students have done so far in their life. In other words, it will always be a bonus for students to keep a CV and a cover letter no matter what level they are in.

With professional assistance, you can create a highly valued CV and cover letter that instantly grabs the attention of readers and presents your value as a prospective employee. ELC Teaching Fellow, Ms. Cindy Lei is going to show you how to tailor a CV and cover letter to meet different needs.

Dear Students,

Have you ever used memes to brighten up the days of your friends and yourself? To promote well-being and self-awareness in college studies, the English Language Centre is thrilled to launch a meme contest. To showcase your creativity and positivity towards college studies, you are invited to make a meme which is relevant to our overarching themes – positive messages about ‘Self’ and Learning in the University. The contest is divided into the following three stages:

* Submission: candidates will submit their meme on a qualtrics form (1 November- 20 November). Please submit your work here: https://umac.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5A0PEeZCzG0sFEy. Please note that only graphics (.jpg/.png) will be accepted.

* Selection: judges will select the best 4 pieces of creative memes.

* Recital event: The winners will be awarded at the award ceremony on 1 December, 2021 (Wednesday)

Prizes are given to the top three candidates. At the same time, a vote on the Instagram page of EWCC will be held before the award ceremony, and the one who has made the most popular meme will be awarded as well. Prizes include vouchers from the book store. Additionally, the first 20 candidates who submit relevant meme creation will be given supermarket vouchers.

All UM students are welcome to participate. Please note that collaborative (pairs/groups) work will NOT be accepted.

All work must be submitted on/before November 20 (Saturday), much appreciated! We look forward to receiving all the great content.
