Часто менял место работы, месяцами вообще не работал.

2011 study conducted by a team of social scientists at the University of Canberra in Australia concluded that having a job we hate is as bad for our health and sometimes worse than not having a job at all.

How many hours do you work per day? At the moment I am not working because I am on maternity leave for another month following the birth of my second child. In a month’s time, I will be working part-time for a few weeks, nine till one until I get back into the swing of things. Then I will go back to my regular full time schedule of nine to five in August. I am lucky because my employer has been really supportive and allowed me to return gradually. I am really happy about this because it is hard to find a stable and steady job in today’s economy. Overall, I am glad I didn’t have to resign just to have a baby. What do you like the most about your job? The thing that I like the most about my job is that is within walking distance of where I live so my commute is a 10-minute walk through a park. I am so happy to not be crammed onto public transport with thousands of other commuters that I accepted a salary cut in order to work closer to where I live. The other thing I like is that there is always lots of overtime available because we have far more work than we can manage. So, if I need to earn some extra money it is always available.

Describe your ideal job Ideally I would like to land a job that is well paid, or at least above the national living wage. I am not particularly concerned with being in the rat race and competing to get to the top. My idea of job satisfaction is a stable job where I can collaborate with others and be a good team player, and at the same time put into practice what I learnt at university. I don’t mind a heavy workload because I like to be busy and interacting with colleagues rather than sitting around all day with nothing to do. How has employment changed in recent decades in your country? In recent decades there has been a big shift in how people work in my country. Firstly, a lot more people have the option of flexitime so they can fit their jobs around their family lives. Also, since the growth of the internet, far more people work from home now than ever before, especially influencers and other internet workers. I think people are starting to realise that being stuck behind a desk all day and working like a dog for someone else’s benefit is not much fun. Young people nowadays would often rather be entrepreneurs in new and exciting fields, which is why there are so many start-ups founded and owned by young people.

UNIT 1. APPLYING FOR A JOB

1. Прочитайте и переведите текст на русский язык.

You’ve decided to change careers. Or you are between jobs.
Whatever the reason, you’re looking for a new position.
If you’re job-hunting you can use
the help of employment agencies.

You can also study the ads of job opportunities being published in different
printed publica­tions. But don’t put much
trust in ads in the yellow press. Solid companies place ads in prestigious expensive pub­lications
with a firm reputation. Carefully read the
demands made of the given position. The demand to know a foreign
language is very important. In most cases
there is a need for free command of the lan­guage — “Fluent English”. Free command is an ability freely to deal with a foreign manager, competently compile documents and speak on
the phone. This demand may prove to be the most important.

When you’ve finally found an ap­propriate position, you’ll
have to go through a job interview either in the agency or in the company. But
if you prepare yourself properly, you can minimize the stress and at the same
time greatly increase your chances of getting the position you want.

The preparation must be the following; you’ll have to do some
research on the company you’re going to be interviewed
with; you must write an effective resume.
Think about some questions an in­terviewer may ask: «What do you know
about our company? What can you contribute to our company? How does your
educational and pro­fessional background fit in with our needs? Why do you
think you’re the right person we need? What are your good and bad
qualities?» and so on. You should
answer each of these ques­tions truthfully with assurance. Try to avoid such answers as “1 don’t know,” “I
don’t want” etc.

The research on the company need not be in deep. Find out how long your future compa­ny has
worked; what fields its activi­ties cover, what countries its opera­tions are
in, who the competitors are.

Unit 2.  HOW
NOT TO DIE AT YOUR JOB INTERVIEW

1. Прочитайте и устно
   переведите  текст, и составьте список положительных или отрицательных
   рекомендаций (do’s and don’ts).

Today, very few employers have time
for long interviews. That is why first impressions about you are very
important. If you want
to get the job, prepare for the interview. Learn all you can about the company
where you are seeking employment. You can make a better impression if you are
familiar with the company’s plans and operations.

Arrive for the interview on time.
When greeting the interviewer wait until he moves to shake hands. You should
also wait until he offers you a seat. Try to be relaxed and confident during
the interview.

Never interrupt the interviewers.
Don’t criticize your previous employers. No matter how bad they were. Speak
about them with respect when you start explaining why you quit (увольняться).

The way you dress is also very
essential.

If your clothes don’t convey the
message you are competent, able, ambitious, self-confident, reliable, nothing
you say will overcome the negative signals emanating (происходить, быть результатом (чего—л.)
from your suit.

A dress costume (женский костюм) with a matching or contrasting jacket, gives a
feeling of strength and control to woman’s appearance.

A woman must avoid any kind of
dresses which portray her as weak or indecisive (неуверенный). There doesn’t seem to be any
difference whether a woman chooses skirts or pants (брюки) as long as the skirt is appropriate
for her daily activities. If your skirt distracts attention from the business
it is not acceptable as a work uniform. Pants give absolute freedom, but they
must fit perfectly, you should feel as comfortable in them as in a second skin.
Choose clothing in which you’ll be comfortable.

There’s one cardinal rule: don’t wear
anything that jingles (звенеть),
clanks (греметь) or glitters (блестеть). Dangling earrings (длинные, висящие серьги), charm bracelets, chain collections that distract
(отвлекать) listeners from what you are saying
will lessen (уменьшать) any
reliable image.

Strong perfumes are headachy in a
small office.

Remember that your make-up and hair
do should be moderate.

The first thing a man does when
preparing for a business meeting or visiting his boss is to put on his suit
jacket. No man could wear a red suit. He should wear a dark, conservative suit
with a dark or white shirt and with a matching or contrasting tie. Men’s shoes should be
well-cleaned and shined.

4. What sort of working weeks would you have?
5. Find out what kind of job is the most wanted in your

6. Write five adjectives to characterize the job you would

1. Прочитайте утверждения о проблемах с рабочими вакансиями в Англии и определите,
   верны ли эти утверждения. (True  (T) or False (F).

	True	False
1.      Both employers and employees took part in the survey.
2.      There are fewer vacancies than potential employees.
3.      Employers claim their staff often lack skills and professional training.
4.      Some of the companies solve the problem by moving part of their business to other countries.
5.      The problem may be solved within the country by looking for more experienced employees.

3. Ознакомьтесь с
отчетом о результатах исследования и проверьте свои предположения.

Twenty percent of job vacancies in
England remain unfilled because of skills shortages, according to a report
published by the Learning and Skills Council.

The National Employer Skill Survey,
which included 72,000 employers, showed that some 135,000 vacancies had not
been filled because of a lack of applicants with the rights skills.

Existing employees also lack the
competence required by their employers, the report said. Twenty percent of
employers claimed that their staff did not have the relevant skills, and about
one third of those said that this incompetence had a direct impact on their
profits.

The survey follows a report from the
Confederation of British Industry, which showed that some 29% of businesses are
exporting jobs overseas, while a further 43% said they felt under pressure to
do so. A quarter said that a lack of labour skills was a key factor in their
decision.

A third of employers who claimed they
were suffering because of incompetent staff admitted that it was largely down
to their own failure to train them.

Companies are addressing the skills
gap by spending a total of £4.5bn on staff training, the equivalent of £200 per
person each year. But despite their efforts, only half of employees are
actually benefiting from the additional spending.

This survey shows that to remain
competitive both nationally and internationally, English businesses must be
more strategic in their staff training and development.

12. Увидев объявление в газете, Хилари (H) и Эрика  (E) решили
его обсудить. Прочитайте их диалог по ролям и
составьте список качеств, которые, по мнению Хилари  и Эрики, должны быть
присущи личному ассистенту.

H:	Hey! Look at this. Here’s an advertisement for a Personal Assistant. Inventor Plus. Have you heard of them?
E:	No, but I have heard of Compact Systems. They’re supposed to be very good to work for, and computer companies are what I really want.
H:	Are you going to apply for it?
E:	I will, I think. Look at this. It says, «Must provide two referees and a statement of what makes a good PA or secretary.» What do you think they mean?
H:	I don’t know. Perhaps they mean things like filing systems.
E:	Oh yes, a good PA has to have a good filing system.
H:	Can you think of anything else?
E:	Well, you could say something about receiving visitors. «An effective Personal Assistant must be good at receiving visitors», something like that.
H:	I agree, you mustn’t create a bad impression.
E:	Well, that’s two things. What else?
H:	And what about phone manner?
E:	Yes, of course. You’ve got to have a good phone manner.
H:	And there’s appearance. In the last place I worked we had to dress very neatly.
E:	OK, that’s the one more: a good PA must also have a neat appearance. Can you think of any     more?
H:	No? I think those are the most important points.

4.Прочитайте и переведите устно текст, в котором консультант рекрутингового
агентства Оливер Донован рассказывает о резюме и письмах о приеме на работу.

When people start looking for a new
job they often lack experience in job-hunting, and the aim of a recruitment
agency is to help them find a good job and, of course, help with all the
possible problems that may arise, including preparing the necessary documents.

First of all, you need a CV. A CV is
a short description of where you’ve worked, where you went to school and your
skills. Usually the information is given in reverse chronological order.it
gives an employer a sense of what you can do and what experience you have.
That’s why not only the place of work, but also the position you held and your
duties are important. And don’t forget about your education and any awards and
certificates you’ve received: sometimes school awards can help create a good
impression. The purpose of a CV is to get you through the interviewer’s door.
Employers decide who to interview from the CVs they receive for each job. The
better your CV is, the more likely you’ll get an interview for the job. And
remember that in order to invite you for an interview, an employer needs to
know your name, address and phone number so that they can contact you!

Then, you need a letter of application
to accompany your CV. It should be written to a specific employer for a
specific job. It says which position you are applying for, and introduces you
to the employer, and highlights the skills and experience you have that make
you the right person for the job. Dont write a long letter – three of four
short paragraphs is enough. It shouldn’t be longer than a page.

When you start looking through job
advertisements in any newspaper you’ll notice that most companies ask
candidates to e-mail their CVs and letters of application. In such cases it’s
best to have your letter as the body of the e-mail and send your CV as attachment.

5. Ответьте на
вопросы.

1     Why do some people have
difficulties looking for a job?

2     What is a CV about?

3     In what order should you
put the facts in the CV?

4     What does an employer
decide having read your CV?

5     What is the purpose of a
letter of application?

6     Is there any difference
between a CV and a letter of application?

7    
Can
you use the same CV/letter of application when applying for different jobs?

8    
How
does Oliver Donovan recommend sending a CV and a letter of application?
