There are many mistakes that people make when writing their resume (CV) or completing a job application Here are some of the most common and most serious
The biggest problem is perhaps listing the duties for which you were responsible in a past position: all this tells your potential employers is what you were supposed to do They do not necessarily know the
specific skills you used in executing them, nor do they know what results you achieved - both of which are
essential In short, they won’t know if you were the best, the worst or just average in your position
The more concrete information you can include, the better As far as possible, provide measurements
of what you accomplished If any innovations you introduced saved the organization money, how much did
they save? If you found a way of increasing productivity, by what percentage did you increase it?
Writing what you are trying to achieve in life - your objective - is a waste of space It tells the employer what you are interested in Do you really think that employers care what you want? No, they are interested in what they want! Instead, use that space for a career summary A good one is brief - three to four sentences long A good one will make the person reviewing your application want to read further
Many resumes list ‘hard' job-specific skills, almost to the exclusion of transferable, or ‘soft’, skills However, your ability to negotiate effectively, for example, can be just as important as your technical skills All information you give should be relevant, so carefully consider the job for which you are applying
If you are applying for a job that is somewhat different than your current job, it is up to you to draw a connection for the resume reviewer, so that they will understand how your skills will fit in their organization The person who reviews your paperwork will not be a mind reader
If you are modest about the skills you can offer, or the results you have achieved, a resume reader may take what you write literally, and be left with a low opinion of your ability: you need to say exactly how good you are On the other hand, of course, never stretch the truth or lie

Các đáp án còn lại là /s/
Câu 2: Đáp án A /ə/
Các đáp án còn lại là: /eɪ/
Câu 3: Đáp án B
Đáp án B trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất, các từ còn lại trọng âm rơi vào âm 2
Câu 4: Đáp án C
Đáp án C trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ hai, các từ còn lại trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất
Câu 5: Đáp án B
Xét trong câu, nhận thấy câu có hai mệnh với hai động từ chia khác thể nhau, mệnh đề đầu chia với thì hiện tại đơn và mệnh đề sau chia ở thì tương lai gần Tuy nhiên, xét về nghĩa thì ta thấy câu có hàm ý nhấn mạnh
vế hai hơn là vế một, nhằm thể hiện “ý tố cáo và khiển trách anh chàng vì đã không chân thành trong tình yêu với cô gái”, bằng chứng là hành động ngay trong mệnh đề thứ hai; chứ không phải nhằm nhấn mạnh vế một là “anh chàng nói rằng anh ta yêu cô gái”/
→ Với mệnh đề này có trợ động từ là “are”, câu ở thể khẳng định, do đó ta dùng đuôi với “aren’t you”
Câu 6: Đáp án D
Ask sb + not + to + V st: yêu cầu / đề nghị ai đó không làm gì
Câu 7: Đáp án D
* Căn cứ vào cấu trúc câu có “If”, vế hai có “would + Vo” nhận thấy đây là dạng câu điều kiện loại 2, diễn
tả giả thiết không có thật trong hiện tại hoặc tương lai Ta có cấu trúc như sau:
If + S + V (quá khứ đơn) + O, S + would / could + Vo: nếu … thì
→ loại A, C
* Xét về nghĩa, ta loại C vì cần dùng “to V” với động từ “solve” để chỉ mục đích
Câu 8: Đáp án B
Trong câu có “recently” nên dùng hiện tại hoàn thành, chủ ngữ the number of số ít → dùng “has Ved / V3”

Xét cấu trúc trong câu, sau chỗ trống cần điền là một Ving, do đó ta dùng “of”
Câu 12: Đáp án B
Vụ nổ gây ra việc đường tắc, hay là đường tắc bị gây ra bởi vụ nổ, ta dùng bị động và mệnh đề quan hệ để
có ‘which was caused by the explosion” Tuy nhiên, ta có thể chuyển về mệnh đề rút gọn ở dạng Vpp khi mệnh dề đầy đủ ở bị động, và dạng V-ing khi mệnh đề đầy đủ ở dạng chủ động
Ở câu này đang ở bị động nên ta có “caused by the explosion”
Câu 13: Đáp án C: be + adj

Câu 28: Đáp án C
Xét cấu trúc câu:
Trang 8“According to researchers, teenagers should share the housework because (28) _ will help them when they have to establish their own family in the future.”
Nhận thấy câu có 3 vế có chủ vị rõ ràng được nối với nhau bởi 2 liên từ là “because” và “when” Do đó, đây không phải dạng đại từ quan hệ nên loại A, D Vị trí cần điền là một đại từ chỉ định để thay thế cho mệnh đề phía trước “teenagers should share the housework”
Người ta dùng đại từ chỉ định “that” để thay thế cho điều đã nói phía trước khi họ không muốn lặp lại câu đó
Câu 29: Đáp án D
A likely (adv): có thể, có khả năng xảy ra hoặc trở thành hiện thực
B probably (adv): có thể, có khả năng xảy ra hoặc trở thành hiện thực
C auspiciously (adv): có khả năng thành công trong tương lai
D possibly (adv): có thể (ở mức độ không chắc chắn)
Người ta dùng “possibly” đi với “can (‘t) / could (n’t)” trong câu để nhấn mạnh khả năng cái gì có khả năng / không có khả năng làm gì
