| Applying for a Job
When people graduate from a higher school they meet a problem how to find a good job. First of all graduates should ask themselves some questions: 1. What is their educational background? 2. What do they expect from their job? 3. Can they cope with the work? 4. Are they hard-working, talented and committed persons? 5. What does success mean for them? 6. Can they work in a team? 7. What kind of skills do they need? Having answered these questions a job-seeker can attend a recruitment agency or read advertisements in employment pub- lications. There is always an open competition for positions. First, a post is announced, the best resumes are selected, then there are language tests and at last an interview. 170 When attending an interview, try to feel confident but at the same time, do not overact. Show that you are interested in the or- ganization and in the work you are applying for. Do not be afraid of asking questions. What skills do specialists need? First of all, they need interper- sonal skills. Anyone can learn how to work with a computer, but it is not easy to learn how to work with people. Any company measures specialists’ success. The measure of success is profitability and customer satisfaction. For many compa- nies success means improved customer services because company value is increased by achieving better results, offering more ser- vices, attracting talented people. Most companies don’t want to keep people who don’t have the right talent, because it is difficult to know whether a person will be committed to the work just from a resume or CV. Sometimes people jump from job to job and have wonderful CVs and it appears that the person was pushed out everywhere. When a person doesn’t cope with the tasks the company usually tries to train or to replace the person. But many people prefer to work in a team because when a problem appears one can always ask for help and advice. Together, people can solve any problems better than working alone. Задание 1.
