Prošnja = Application

1) Short explanation = Kratka razlaga

When writing a job application, the applicant should plan his letter carefully. It must be written with confidence and enthusiasm, as the employer may be flooded by hundreds of applications. Your letter is good when it stands out from the average. In the letter explain who you are and what you are able to do for the possible future employer. You should first carefully read the advert to make sure you expose the right qualifications for that particular position.

= Pri pisanju prošnje za delo mora kandidat previdno napisati uvod. Slednji mora biti napisan z zaupanjem vase in zanosom, saj je delodajalec po vsej verjetnosti zasut s stotinami prošenj. Dobro je, da vaše pismo izstopa od ostalih. V pismu razložite, kdo ste in kaj ste zmožni narediti za vašega bodočega delodajalca. Najprej pa pazljivo preberite oglas, da boste zagotovo izpostavili prave sposobnosti za določen položaj.
