recruit
or employ new people, it may decide to advertise
the job or
position
on the
appointments page
of a newspaper. People who are inter-
ested can then
apply
for the job by sending in a
letter of application
and
curriculum
vi-
tae
containing details of their education and experience. The company will then draw
up a
shortlist
of
candidates
, who are invited to attend an
interview
.
