I. GETTING A JOB INTRODUCTORY TEXT Choosing an Occupation One of the most difficult problems a young person faces is deciding what to do about a career. There are individuals, of course, who from the time they are six years old "know" that they want to be doctors or pilots or customs officers, but the majority of us do not get around to making a decision about an occupation or career until somebody or something forces us to face the problem. Choosing an occupation takes time, and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do. You may find that you will have to take special courses to qualify'11 for a particular kind of work, or may find out that you will need to get some actual work experience to gain enough knowledge to qualify for a particular job. Fortunately, there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision. At most schools, there are teachers who are professionally qualified to counsel you and to give detailed information about job qualifications. And you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions. But even if you get other people involved in helping you make a decision, self evaluation is an important part of the decision-making process. Note: qualify for ['kwɔlifai] be equipped by training; have certain experience Ex. 1. Comprehension questions.
Ex. 2. Find in the text English equivalents to the following words and phrases: 1) столкнуться с проблемой, 2) сотрудник таможни, 3) большинство из нас, 4) выбор профессии, 5) обладать квалификацией для определенной работы, 6) обнаружить, 7) приобрести знания, 8) обсудить, 9) привлечь других людей. Text A. Employment Agencies In Britain there is a special service for school leavers, the Careers Advisory Service, which helps young people who are looking for their first job. Careers Officers give practical advice on interview techniques, application forms, letters, pay, National Insurance and Trade Unions. One business organization that you may use when you are job-hunting(1) is an employment agency. There are the state employment services and nonprofit agencies that do not receive fees for finding jobs for people. There exist also some private employment agencies which receive a fee. Some employment agencies see applicants without an appointment. These include the state employment services and nonprofit agencies. Counselors there may spend a few minutes with each applicant. But an agency that deals with technical and higher-salaried jobs spends much more time with each applicant. Appointments are necessary in this type of agency, where a counselor may be able to see only a few applicants a day. An interview for any kind of job, whether the interview is obtained through a friend, classified advertisement, or an agency, generally requires an appointment. It is important to be on time for your appointment. If you have made an appointment and cannot keep it, or if you will be more than ten minutes late, you should always call the interviewer. If you do not cancel' the appointment or notify the interviewer that you will be late, you will create a negative impression on your possible employer. To make efficient use of time, American business people schedule their days hour by hour. In most American business situations, appointments are a necessary courtesy. Note: job-hunting — looking for work Text В. "....They Live by the Appointment Book." Victor had recently arrived in the United States, and he did not completely understand the need for appointments. He thought his friend was exaggerating. One day he went to an employment agency. This agency specialized in placing people according to their qualifications. Victor wanted to star- working as soon as possible so that he could afford his own apartment. When he arrived at the agency at 10 a.m. the receptionist said to him "Do you have an appointment?" Victor looked around the office and said "No, I don't, but I see that there are very few people waiting here. I'm sure the counselor can see me. "The receptionist answered, "I'm sorry. This agency works by appointment only." She told him to leave his resume fill out an application, and make an appointment. Victor did not have a resume, but he was able to get an appointment in two days. Before dinner that evening, Victor dropped in on his friend Andre. H. told Victor again why sometimes in America you cannot just drop in Victor then turned to his friend and said, "Andre, you are right. In America: you don't live from day to day — you live from appointment to appointment (adapted from "Working World" by Baskin M) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
