  CV writing   TERMS OF REFERENCE     Background SDC supports through humanitarian cash assistance Lebanese families hosting refugees from Syria.  The project is located in the north-east of Lebanon, Akkar District.   This project is implemented in partnership with the local NGO, Mada, which has seconded staff to SDC for this project. The project office is located in Kobayat and staffed with 1 Swiss international expert and 5 national staff.   Cash disbursements to Lebanese families hosting displaced families started in September 2012: families continuously hosting Syrian refugees for more than 3 months and not asking for rent or any other compensation from them, receive a monthly cash assistance to contribute to the costs for hosting. The support is based on an assessment of additional costs for hosting e.g. such as water and electricity. The project pays cash assistance monthly for the host family. In addition the project provides a basic Livelihood support to the host families as their incomes decreased as a result of the border closure and increasing costs of living due to inflated prices for goods and services as a result of the crisis in neighbouring country; each host family receives a flat unconditional amount. The project is now in its 3rd phase covering the time span from October 2013 to July 2014.   The majority of the team members are in direct contact with Lebanese host families and Syrian refugees. They are responsible for registering host and refugee families through field visits. They need to communicate constantly with the beneficiaries and local authorities. They are facing the very difficult situation of refugees (lost of relatives, lost of assets and goods, sickness ...) and of host families who many of them have financial constraints.     Specific Responsibilities and Tasks:     The cv writing session aims to support the participants in job searching: Sensitize the participants on the importance of cvs and cover letter Train the team on drafting CV and cover letter Prepare participants to job interviews: preparation to interview, classical questions, verbal and non verbal communication,...
