Dear Sirs,
Thank you very much for your offer of admission and teaching assistantship. I regret that I cannot accept your offer because I have already accepted an offer from University of Toronto, where the programme is closer to my field of interest.
I am very grateful for your consideration and favourable attitude towards my application.
With many thanks for your help
Sincerely yours,
Natalia Valeva

Searching for a Job Abroad

Познакомьтесь вкратце с теми процедурами и документами, ко­торые требуются при трудоустройстве (в частности в США):

Text 1

1. То begin your job search, you must identify the kind of job you want, where the jobs are, and what employers expect.

2. If you are a student or a graduate of a vocational, technical, or professional (university) training programme and you have the same interests, you already know the kind of job you want.

3. Begin by thinking about the work you can do. Include the work you have been trained to do, the work you have actually done, and the work you enjoy doing.

4. Next, talk to as many people as possible about your job interests and concerns.

5. Thinking and talking help you build a network of people interested in helping you.

6. This network will lead to specific job contacts.

7. However, job counselling is also useful.

8. Job counselling is a professional service that may include vocational interest and aptitude testing; informing and advising about particular jobs; and providing training and guidance in the various steps at a job search.
