Sample Autobiography Format
1. Title .Write your title or your prospective title in underlined bold font across the top of your word processing document. Remember that you can come back and refine or change your title at any time, the perfect title will probably only surface at the end of the writing process.
2. Dedication. You might have already decided who you would like to dedicate your work to before you start. Someone who has inspired you to become who you are today, maybe someone who has encouraged you to take the initiative or simply a special person that you would like to mention who has made a significant impact on your life. It is best to leave the dedication until last as working through your autobiography will trigger many memories; you can include a dedication to more than one person.
3. Table of Contents. Finished writing? Compile your table of contents and index.
4. Acknowledgements. This is the place to thank everyone who has helped you compile your autobiography from start to finish. Keep a simple list as you work through the various chapters so that you don’t forget to mention anyone. Come back and wrap it up when you are finished to show your gratitude and appreciation in a few carefully crafted words.
5. Foreword. The foreword is the place to jot down your reasons for writing the autobiography; what you hope to achieve from it and what you hope others will benefit by reading it. It is a good idea to write down some brief thoughts in this section before you start to help keep you focused throughout the writing process.
6. Introduction. Your introduction needs to grab attention, create interest and keep them reading. See how it’s done.
7. Body. Create a series of chronological headings and sub headings in your autobiography outline. Write the autobiography based on locations if you have been stationed at many different places throughout your life. Write about one specific event that has been the turning point in your life. Use other common threads to link your body together in an interesting fashion. Include one or two relevant subheadings under each point. Expand your list with all the relevant material you can remember under each section, include names, dates, experiences etc.
8. Conclusion. Your final thoughts. Look back on your completed works, think about what you have learnt from the experience and how it has moulded and shaped you. Tie it together in an interesting fashion to provide the perfect ending.
9. Memorabilia. To round off a perfect autobiography and highlight special moments include some memorabilia such as pictures of family heirlooms, medals, letters, photos etc. that capture special moments. Snippets of memorabilia can also be spread throughout the book to add some colour and interest.
10. Index. Finished writing? Compile your table of contents and index.
Using an autobiography format is quick and easy and helps you to construct your thoughts and ideas quickly and easily from start to end.

Resume
Resume is a summary of education, work experience,andqualifications. There are two terms which exist in parallel:C.V.(Br.), or a curriculum vitae, which comes from Latin and means autobiography, and resume (Am.) which is borrowedfrom French and means a summary.There is no much difference between them except that a resumeis usually shorter (one page long) and written by those applicants who have little work experience.
The resume is very important in job searching. It is a calling card which is purposed to attract the interestof the prospective employer. The resume should describe an applicant’s personalityanddemonstrate his energy, ambition, and abilityto workin teams. It should give the employer a sense that this candidate wouldbe a good investment for the company.
An effective resume must make a good first impression.Ofcourse, appearance is important but content is even more crucial. The information in a resume needs to be well-organized, easy to read, and result-oriented. It usually includes personal information, professional and volunteer experience, specialskills,education, accomplishments, and references.
An effective resume should address the employer'sneeds.Its aim is to showthe prospective employers how anapplicant's skills, accomplishments and abilitiesmatch their needs and organization goals. The best way to achieve this is to include only the work experience that is relevant to the job you are applying for.
Every day employers sort through piles of resumes and typically devote 30 seconds or less to each one. Employers won't read any more than two pages, anyway. If you can fit your resume onto one page, that's fine! Employers are looking for, among other qualities, strong organizational and communication skills.

APPLICATION or СOVER LETTER,
The application letter (sometimes called “a cover letter” because it is sent with a C.V. in the same envelope) is aimed at getting a job interview.
There are two types of application letters. A solicited application letter is sent to a definite, or announced, job opening. An unsolicited or “prospecting” letter is one sent to а company that has not announced an opening. The objectives of an application letter are:
– to get attention;
– to introduce qualifications;
– to present evidence;
– to encourage action.
Remember, your application letter will represent you to the employer. If several applicants have the same qualifications, опlу those writing impressive letters will be interviewed.

M. Marinichenko, President, AEROSVIT
25 Gogol Street, 111234, Kyiv, Ukraine
April 2, 1992
Dear Mr. Marinichenko,
I am a first-year student In the M.B.A, program at the Wharton Business School in Philadelphia.
I understand that you are heading an independent Ukrainian airline. I have heard from my friend Mr. Bill Eastmann, a student at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business that you might wish to have an American M.B.A. student work with your airline this summer as an intern. I am very interested in the possibility of such an internship during the summer of 1992.
My professional experience has given me an in-depth knowledge of the air transportation industry. I have, in particular, worked for Americam Airlines, the Federal Aviation Administration, and Kurth & Company, Inc., an aviation consulting firm where I was Manager of Airline Analysis. My responsibilities included the study of schedules, fares, equipment selection, and financial results. Notably, I prepared numerous feasibility studies for both jet and turboprop routes, including passenger and pure cargo service, for proposed transatlantic and transpacific services.
I wish to place this experience at the disposal of your airline. I believe strongly that my knowledge of the deregulated air transportation industry in the United States could be quite beneficial to your carrier,
I have enclosed a copy of my resume. If my background and qualifications are of interest to you, please telephone me at (215) 748-3037. I would be interested in meeting with you in mid-April in New York to discuss further the possibility of such a summer position, and your requirements.
Sincerely,
Mark Diamond
