Transcript

Nicola Sturgeon:Well this is a great announcement: another important investment into Edinburgh and Scotland, ComputerShare, major global company, deciding to site its technology centre here in Edinburgh, with the creation of 300 new jobs. That investment has been supported by Scottish enterprise, and of course it comes on the same day that Scottish development international is publishing new figures showing that the number of jobs created by foreign investment in Scotland have increased by 10 %. All of this shows that Scotland is a great place to do business, and we are well and truly open for business.

Stuart Irving:ComputerShare is a global organisation; we have over 16,000 staff around the world. And we’re also an organisation that continues to grow. Technology is at the forefront of that growth, and we need to continue to invest in technology. And that’s just not new products or tools or hardware, it’s about the people. We looked at various places, and we whittled it all down, and we ended up selecting Edinburgh. So there’s a number of reasons behind that. First and foremost we think that the talent pool in Edinburgh is phenomenal. We also believe that our existing tech staff will be able to get them up to speed very, very quickly, because we have people on the ground here already. And finally, the support that we’ve had from Scottish enterprise and SDI has been absolutely phenomenal. As a result, that gives us the confidence to invest in over 300 jobs in Edinburgh, over the next 3 years.

Cette vidéo est un petit reportage daté du 26 juin 2017 sur la création de 300 nouveaux postes à Édimbourg. 

La première personne à prendre la parole est la Première ministre d’Écosse, Nicola Sturgeon. Elle explique que l’entreprise spécialisée en technologie ComputerShare vient de créer 300 nouveaux postes à Édimbourg le même jour que la publication de chiffres par le groupe Scottish Development International. Ces chiffres révèlent que les investissements étrangers ont augmenté de 10 % en Écosse, et que ce pays est l’endroit parfait pour créer une société et générer du profit. Ensuite, c’est le PDG de ComputerShare, Stuart Irving, qui prend la parole pour présenter son projet d’implantation à Édimbourg. Il explique que l’Écosse est le pays idéal pour implanter une société. Son entreprise fait travailler plus de 16 000 personnes à travers le monde et souhaite continuer son expansion. Cet essor est principalement lié au domaine de la technologie en investissant non seulement dans les logiciels, et le matériel, mais surtout dans l’humain. Il justifie son choix d’implantation en Écosse par plusieurs arguments : le pays représente une incroyable ressources de talents, un personnel qualifié en technologie va pouvoir rapidement former les 300 nouvelles recrues, et enfin le soutien du groupe Scottish Development International a été phénoménal. Stuart Irving espère pouvoir créer 300 nouveaux postes au cours des trois prochaines années.

FINAL TASK 

 "Interview-Getting" Cover Letter Tips

 "Interview-Getting" Cover Letter Tips

TIP 1:Put only three paragraphs on one page: introduction, skills/qualifications, and ASKING for the interview in the last paragraph.

TIP 2: Keep each paragraph to just three or four punchy, well-written sentences. Make it "easy on the eyes."

TIP 3:Allow your text to breathe by including plenty of white space. This means big margins, and double spacing between paragraphs, and one and a half spaces between lines.

TIP 4: Create bullets and numbered lists to help readers scan quickly.

TIP 5: Use bolding occasionally to emphasize important points, and to increase

readability. (Don't use too much––just a few important lines throughout to break things up a little.)

TIP 6:Proofread your cover letter and correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation. This is an obvious one, but if it's not handled, it can ruin any chance you have of landing the interview.

TIP 7: Double check your contact information, and don't forget to hand sign the letter. Nothing is more embarrassing (and deal-breaking) than getting your own phone number or address wrong.

Your Cover Letter Writing Process:

First, write a cover letter that gives an introduction and states your intent for applying. It must also discuss your qualifications quickly, simply, and concisely. Finally, it must ask for the interview.

Next, go through the seven tips above to make sure they are all covered before sending off the cover letter with your resume.

If you follow all of this advice, the hiring manager will have no choice but to give you a call, assuming you have presented the right skills for the job in a compelling way. It'll be obvious that you are trustworthy and dependable, and that you are definitely someone to contact for the position.

Most job seekers do NOT pay enough attention to the cover letter, and simply "throw one together" as an afterthought.

You have an opportunity to rise above the fold with your cover letter––enough to single you out for the job interview.

1. Standard, conservative style

This is ideal for sectors such as business, law, accountancy and retail. For more creative sectors, a letter like this might be less appealing, and could work against you.
