COMPANY PROFILE

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming. My name is Sarah James, and I’m here to give a brief presentation on the company. My talk is very short so please keep your questions to the end.

The first part of my presentation is about the company structure of Pizza Hut (UK). The second part looks at the present activity of the company in the UK, and in the last part I want to talk about our future plans.

First, the structure. Let’s start with the parent company. As you know, Pizza Hut (UK) is a subsidiary of Tricon Global Restaurants. There are other brands in the group, such as KFC and Taco Bell. The President of Pizza Hut (UK) is Jon Prinsell.

Now, let’s look at our present activity. Business is very good. People in Britain like pizzas! We have sales of over £ 300 million from 400 outlets. We employ about 16,000 people. In Britain our brand is very well-known. 80% of the population eat at Pizza Hut at least once a year. On top of that, we deliver 75,000,000 pizzas to people’s homes. Pizzas are our main product, but we also sell a lot of pastas, salads, desserts, and drinks.

Finally, the future. In the next ten years we plan to open at least another hundred restaurants. At the moment our market share of all meals in restaurants in Britain is 6 %. We would like to increase that number to 10 % in the next ten years. With our customers and our staff, that aim is possible.

Thank you for listening. Do you have any questions?

How to Write a Resume

     A resume - sometimes called a 'Curriculum Vitae' or 'CV' - is a summary of your skills, education and work experience. A good resume demonstrates how your skills and abilities match up with the requirements of a job.

     Resumes give you the opportunity to sell yourself to a potential employer. A resume is not an exhaustive list - if it's too long it probably won't get read at all. The best resumes are usually no longer than one or two pages.

     You should change your resume with every job application so that it lists the skills and experiences you have that are most relevant to the job you're applying for. A tailored resume will be much more successful than a generic one, even though it means more preparation.

     The structure of your resume will vary depending on your work experience and education and training background.

     A resume usually sets out information in a reverse order. Your most recent work experience and study details should be first on the list.

Here's a brief rundown on the essential things to include on your resume.

     Personal details. Full name and contact details including address, telephone number(s) and email address.

     Education and training. A summary of your education and training history, starting with your most recent studies, making sure you include all training that's relevant to the job you're applying for.

     Employment history/ Work experience. Start with your most recent work history and work backwards chronologically, listing the name of the employer, your job title, the dates you worked there, and your responsibilities, tasks and achievements. Make sure you include everything that's relevant to the job.

     Skills and abilities. A list of the things you're good at. These can be general skills or skills specific to a particular job. List them under broad headings such as "Communication" and "Teamwork".

     Career objective (optional). Tell the employer what type of job you want end up with; this shows that you've given thought to your future career.

     Interests (optional). A list of your hobbies and interests; this gives employers more information about you and also shows other areas of your life where you've gained experiences such as teamwork and commitment.

     Referees. List people who can talk about how good a worker you are. Make sure you get their permission before including them on your resume. List their name, company name occupation, and contact details.
