Exercise 3 Read the text “World of Jobs” [5].
We spend great part of our lives at our jobs, so choosing a right career is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life.
Part of the problem is the size of the job market itself. With so many kinds of jobs how can you tell which will interest you? Some of occupations are already overcrowded. In old industries there may be little need for new workers, while new and growing industries will offer jobs now and in the future.
The interest inventory that follows covers the major fields in which most people find careers: science, art, social service, business, sales and so on. Sometimes we say that someone we know is 'a square peg in a round hole'. This means that person we are talking about is not suited for the job he is doing. Unfortunately, many people in the world are 'square pegs'. But to be a 'square peg' is not a real problem, a real problem for millions of people is to be unemployed.
Unemployment especially hits poor and working class families the hardest, not because this people are more likely to be unemployed, but because they don't have financial resource to fall back on. The problem of unemployment is also connected with the economic crisis.
Exercise 4 Answer the questions.
- Why choosing a right career is one of the most important decisions?
- Do you think that it’s important to be creative?
- Who are the 'square pegs'?
- What are two reasons of unemployment?
- What is your opinion about the job swapping? Is it easy to your mind? Why?
