Dear Sir,

I am writing in response to the advertisement for a dog sitter. Which was published on his personal blog today, 12th March. I enclose a copy of my CV with references to other residents of the area to which I have already cared for their dogs.

I think that I would be suitable for this job because I love animals, especially dogs. I love playing with them and take them for walks. I am very careful with animals. I have been taught to first aid to dogs and I know many vets in the area. Also, as you will see in my CV, I work with more than 7 neighbours like a dog sitter. So I have experience.

I would be happy to attend an interview and look forward to hearing from you soon. I will be available and would love to care for your pets; I await your prompt response.

Yours Faithfully.

Christian Bale

"American Psycho"

Christian Bale was born in Pembrokeshire, Wales. He started in the theater as a child and following the artistic talent of his mother. At the age of 8 (1983), he appeared briefly in an advertisement for the cereal "Pac Man."

At the very young age of 13, he debuted in the film by Steven Spielberg "Empire of the Sun", passing a cast of more than 4000. He was praised by critics.

In 1989 he worked in the movie Henry V and the following year at Treasure Island.

"The Machinist"

In 2000, he played a role in the movie "Shaft: The Return" and "American Psycho." In this second film, Bale plays the role of a fantastic physicist who seems to elevate to the status of sex symbol, but he is a versatile actor. Four years later, his role in "The Machinist" was a physical and mental challenge when faced with one of the most difficult roles of his career so far. He lost a lot of weight. He overcame the challenge with great satisfaction from both the critics and the public.

"Batman Begins"

His great opportunity to become an actor of contribution arrived with the role in "Batman Begins" (2005) for which he had to regain lost weight and also achieve high fitness and martial arts mastery.

In 2006 he played the movie "The Prestige" with Hugh Jackman and Michael Caine, directed by Christopher Nolan. In 2007 he participated in "Rescue Dawn", "I'm Not There" and "3:10 to Yuma." In 2008 he returned to the role of Batman in The Dark Knight ", which had very good impressions and broke box office records in the United States achieving more than 500 million dollars. His recent work has been in Tape "Terminator Salvation", where he played John Connor and "Public Enemies", as Melvin Purvis, an FBI agent.

Bale is a winner of an "Oscar" and "Golden Globe" for best Supporting Actor in his role in the movie "The Fighter", and in April he will begin filming for Nolan's next film, "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises".

I liked the performance of Bale when I saw the movie "Batman Begins", then "Batman: The Dark Knight", which made me see more films as "American Psycho", "The Machinist" and "The Fighter" where (for me) He does a great job.

My perfect job

My perfect job isn’t an office job, because I need to move myself constantly or I get stressed. I’m a pretty active person, so my perfect job has to let me move and don’t be quiet for too long. For this reason I think my perfect job could be a sport monitor.

I really love doing sport and I have practised many of them since I was about 3. I also love watching sport on TV, all kind of them and I know a lot about all of them.

My perfect job could be with kids, as a sport monitor of a summer camp or something similar, because I really enjoy playing with them and I used to get on well with kids.

Actually, I already did a similar job once, doing sport activities for kids in my high school, and I really had a good time. It was a good experience.

I think that kind of job could be suitable for me because I even have a motivator title.
I could do this job with kids from 1 to 12 years old, at first, because these are the ages I have experience with.

I’m really caring with little kids and I give the olders ones the freedom that they need but always keeping an eye on them.

I’m reliable, so parents will be okay letting me their kids.

In conclusion, that my perfect job.

If one day I find a job like this, even it its only for a summer, I would be extremely happy. And if the pay is good, even better more!

My perfect job

For me the perfect job is one that makes you feel good and helpful person.
I like the work that allows you to help others to improve their lives. I prefer to work directly with people, not in an office or behind a computer. I like to think I'm improving someone's life just by being there, seeing as the person appreciates and relies on every step that I take because he knows I'm for him. I want people to realize that I will help no matter what happens, I won´t leave them alone and I'll always be there when they need me.
I like that in my work I have personal freedom and I could make certain decisions without I having to see the boss. Despite that, I prefer to work being part of a team so that we can support each other. I think that working alone is very boring and heavy. In contrast, teamwork motivates you more than working alone, that makes you fun and also it makes you have done best moments at work. On the other hand, if you are part of a team you can meet many interesting people. So my ideal job should allow me to meet people through it, by colleagues or by dealing directly with people who need that service.
A good job must make me learn new things every day, it should encourage me to improve everything I do. It should provide challenges that make you think and exploit the potential of the individual.
Besides, I would like to work in an area with good relationships between colleagues and with mutual respect.
Besides, my perfect job is one that keeps you fixed on the job and it makes me I don’t be thinking every day if I will be fired. I prefer a half-day schedule and a job near my house.
Finally and most importantly, I want to enjoy my work and I enjoy every day to be there.
Therefore, I think my ideal job is in medicine.

Julia Roberts

Who wouldn’t like to feel like a "Pretty-woman? I'm sure we all would like that. Julia Roberts became the bride of America thanks to his performance in Pretty Woman and has since been one of the queens of romantic comedy. Also, she is one of the best paid Hollywood stars.

Julie Fiona Roberts was born in Atlanta, Georgia. He grew up surrounded by entertainers, both her parents and years later his brother Eric was devoted to interpretation. At first she wanted to become a vet, but when her brother began to succeed in Hollywood Julia decided to try his luck as an actress too.

Julia became a major Hollywood star thanks to the huge international success of Pretty Woman; also, choose love, Notting Hill, Runaway Bride and others. She won the Oscar for best actress for her role in Erin Brockovich.

I think she is a good actress and I like most of his films and she deserves the Oscar. She also has good taste with clothes and whatever she wears she looks good.
