If you ever googled "How to create a resume" or "How to write a covering letter" or "What are the top 10 most common interview questions" then you are not alone. We have all done it. And what do we learn from these searches? That there are no right answers, there are just thousands and thousands of different questions, resume formats and tips on covering letters. And you end up not knowing where to start!

Now add to this problem the fact that English might not be your first language and the role you are applying for requires you to communicate in English every day, then it is no surprise that this entire process is daunting.

I will help you change the way you think about the application process - to simplify it and to personalise it; to understand that it is a matching process where you are looking for a job that matches your ambitions and skills, and where the company in looking for people that match their role requirements.

I'll teach you a few simple techniques that will prepare you to answer almost any question in a clear and effective way. We will take you through the application process starting with the most important aspect: you, your skills, your goals; and then we will move on to how to create a brilliant resume and covering letter and how to prepare for and deliver an authentic and confident interview.

I will also give you the key phrases and grammar you need to be successful in each of those steps.

自転車の看板や、めがねの看板やそのほか 
いろんな看板が、あるものは新しいペンキでかかれ、
あるものは、古い壁のようにはげていましたが、
町に はじめて出てきた子狐にはそれらのものが
いったい何であるか分らないのでした。
とうとう帽子屋がみつかりました。
お母さんが道々よく教えてくれた、
黒い大きなシルクハットの帽子の看板が、
青い電燈に照らされて かかっていました。
子狐は教えられた通り、トントンと戸を叩きました。

「こんばんは」
　
すると、中では何かことこと音がしていましたが
やがて、戸が一寸ほどゴロリとあいて、
光の帯が道の白い雪の上に 長く伸びました。
子狐はその光が まばゆかったので、めんくらって、
まちがった方の手を、
――お母さまが出しちゃいけないと言って
よく聞かせた方の手を 
すきまから さしこんでしまいました。

Меня зовут Люк. Я австралиец. Я студент филологического факультета в Мельбурне. 3 месяца я живу в Москве и изучаю русский язык в МГУ. В Австралии на завтрак я ем яйцо, батон с сыром, круассан с вареньем. Потом я пью кофе с молоком. В Москве я живу в квартире с русской семьёй. Это прекрасная семья - муж, жена, дочь и сын. Утро. Завтрак. Мы едим творог со сметаной. Я не люблю творог со сметаной, но все едят и я ем. Четыре дня мы едим творог со сметаной. Я не могу смотреть на творог со сметаной! 
Суббота. Я очень рад, что на завтрак мы едим сосиски. Воскресенье. Завтрак. Вы не поверите, что мы едим. Суп с рыбой! В Австралии никто не ест суп утром и никто не ест рыбу утром, а я ем ... А в понедельник на завтрак мы едим борщ. Без сметаны, борщ красный, а со сметаной борщ розовый, как платье Барби. 
Все едят борщ, и я ем борщ. 
И почему русский завтрак такой загадочный?

Загадочный русский завтрак &  Mysterious Russian breakfast

Luke Littler became the youngest world champion in darts history on January 3 when the 17-year-old Englishman beat three-time champion Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in the final.

"Everyone dreams of lifting this trophy," Littler said after beating van Gerwen. "I can't believe it."

The teenager has also become a sporting sensation. He's an ordinary English teenager who enjoys fast food and video games but has an extraordinary talent for throwing darts.

That talent has earned him fame and fortune. He made $1.28 million in prize money during 2024 and he added another $620,000 to that when he won the 2025 World Championship.

He has become one of the most talked about sports stars in the UK since finishing as the World Championship runner-up in 2024.

According to Google, he was the most searched sportsperson in the UK in December, and the third-most searched celebrity, behind only Donald Trump and Kate Middleton.

Littler's success has also helped bring darts back into the mainstream.

Although Littler is young, he's been working at his game for more than a decade. There are videos of him throwing magnetic darts while still wearing a diaper.

Van Gerwen was previously the youngest world champion in the elite Professional Darts Corporation competition, winning the 2014 final at age 24.

Van Gerwen said losing his record "hurt" but was full of praise for Littler.

"Every 17 years a star gets born," Van Gerwen said, "and he is one of them."

Many were already wondering if Littler can reach Phil Taylor's record of 16 world titles. Claiming a first title at age 17 will now supercharge that conversation.
