The personnel manager was very nice and understanding. A.: What questions did he ask you? P.: Well, first he wanted to know whether I’ve worked any where before. I told him that had studied secretarial work. Now I have to pay greater attention to Finnish. A.: Did you see the office where you’re going to work? P.: No, I didn’t. I didn’t see anybody but the personnel manager. I’ll start on Monday. But it seems to be a very big firm. A.: What was the personnel manager’s room like? P.: Nothing much, just an ordinary one. It seems, it was tidy, there were even some flowers on table. But I have the feeling that they are short of space, just like every where else. A.: It’s not interesting at all. I’d like to work some place where there are many foreigners, big imposing rooms, big tables, cozy upholstered armchairs, swinging glass doors, a lot of light and air. P.: Oh, dear. You must still be under impression of some recent commercial firm. A.: You see, that’s my idea of my future workplace. P.: Well, we’ll live and see.

Interviews
Interviewing is the process whereby individuals (usually two) exchange information. The participants may be concerned with a job opening, a promotion, a special assignment, a product sale, information for intelligence purposes, a proposed merger, or other questions. The information exchanged need not be limited to facts. In business, particularly, products of an interview such as meaning and understanding often are more significant than objective factual statements.
Job Interview
If you've marketed your credentials well — by showing how your qualifications match the job — chances are that an employer will invite you for an interview. Now you must show the interviewer(s) you're as impressive as your qualifications, and the best person for the job.

A: Do you think he’s as intelligent as Mr. Brown?
B: I think so. And he isn’t as talkative.
A: You’re right. We’ll hire him.
An Interview for a Job
Three girls have just been interviewed for a job, but only one will be chosen by the interviewers. During the interview they were asked a lot of questions, and then they were told to type out some business letters. They were also asked to send some messages by telex and telefax, and use a computer. Here are some notes the interviewers made while the applicants were answering their questions.
Sheila Simpson. Age 26. Married. Two children. Had two years' experience of work as a secretary with Byrd & Co. Ltd. Gave up the job when her second child was born. Doesn't mind if we make inquiries about her at her former place of work. Is fluent in French and German.
Alice Campbell. Age 28. Divorced. No children. Has a job as shop assistant in a department store, but isn't satisfied with it for two reasons:
a) finds it unpleasant to deal with some of the customers;
b) lives a long way from the store.
Lucy Davies. Age 19. Unmarried. No working experience. Was taught to type and operate a computer at school. An excellent figure and a lovely face! Could be a fashion model, but prefers a secretarial job as a start for her business career. Doesn't mind answering personal questions.

Jobs and Career
In Britain when a pupil leaves school at sixteen or later he or she must find a job. To achieve this goal school leavers without special qualification will probably visit a Job Centre or look through local newspaper advertisements. School careers officers can offer advice. But ultimately it is up to the boys and girls themselves to find work.
Graduates from universities and other colleges are in the same position except that they are older and are looking for different kinds of work. Usually they start their search near the beginning of their third (i.e. final) year in college. The professional work many of them seek normally requires further specialized training, so the first step is to get a place on a training course 0 and a grant or some other funds to pay for the course. Probably the first stage will involve some kind of exam and an interview – necessary procedures for choosing which applicants shall be given place on the course which may lead to a job in the end. (Such courses are essential for librarians, computer programmers, social workers, accountants and many other kinds of qualified workers.) Certain organizations take graduates directly and train them while they are working - for example the BBC. A recruitment committee has to read through the papers and select maybe eight or ten applicants for interview. At the interview they will be asked their reasons for wanting the job, and have to answer questions about their academic career, other activities and – often – questions which seem to have no point but which are intended to reveal their personality, skills and general suitability for the job.
Eventually someone will be selected. If the fortunate candidate is not happy with all the conditions of the job (pay, hours of work, pension rights and so on) he doesn’t have to accept it – but once he has signed the contract he cannot leave the job without giving notice (of maybe three or six months) and he cannot be thrown out of the job without notice and without good reason.
Today graduates can expect to make dozens of applications for jobs and get short-listed for interviews two or three times before they find satisfactory work. Some of course know exactly what they want and manage to find the right job first time, but more often graduates can spend months searching, meanwhile earning enough to pay the rent by washing dishes or some other short-term work.
Having found your job, you certainly do not expect to stay in it for life – or even more than a few years. Whether they are working in private industry or in the state sector, people assume that if they want more money or more responsibility they must expect to move from one employer to another or from one area of work to another. Promotion up the steps of the ladder within a firm certainly happens, bit the advantages to both employer and employee – stability, familiarity with the work, confidence, loyalty to the firm and its workers – must set against the advantages of bringing in “fresh blood”, new challenging ways of approaching the work (avoidance of intrigues and resentment among those already in the organization about the promotion of one over the other) and the hard work that can be expected from someone new in the job who has to “prove” himself or herself. In practice promotions are usually a mixture of “within-house” and from outside. Consequently, employees who want to improve their position start looking for other jobs within few years of securing their first one.
Great British jobs
Modern butlers combine the roles of cook, cleaner, waiter, gardener, driver and household manager and they have to be polite, respectful, and well-organized, “We do everything from paying the bills to picking up the children, organizing parties and getting the washing machine repaired.” Says Shaun Harrison who works for a family in the Oxford shire countryside. “During the week I’m in jeans and a shirt, busy looking after the household and in the gardens. At the weekends, when the family arrives, I put on a suit and take on the role of a traditional butler. I get for weeks holiday a year and I have to take it when it suits my employer.”
Mark Thompson is self-employed and carries out a range of building, repair and maintenance jobs to the outside of tall structures such as church spires, monuments, industrial chimneys and high rise buildings. It takes from 2-6 years to train as a professional steeplejack and Mark has been doing it for the last 15 years. “The one thing you must have for this job is a head for heights,” he says. “I like working outdoors, but it can be very dangerous carrying equipment and trying to keep your balance when the weather’s bad. It gets really windy up there, so you’ve got be quite fearless!” Mark travels all over the country and often works away from home for extended period, so that because of him beautiful buildings will continue to grace the skyline for a good few years.
The job of Town Crier can be traced back as far as the Battle of Hastings in 1066 when the news was passed on to the general public by individuals employed by the king. “Basically, A Town Crier was a kind of talking newspaper, but today a lot of my work is ceremonial,” says Peter Moore. “I wear a traditional costume and carry a bell and shout the familiar call of “Oyez! Oyez!” (Listen! Listen!) to get people’s attention. I work for the British Tourist Authority and I preside at festivals, shows and parades as well as London’s tourist attractions.”
Rick Booth is one of a decreasing number of milkmen still working in Britain. He arrives at the dairy around 11.00 pm to load up his milk float and it takes him about five hours to complete his round. He leaves the milk on the doorstep and collects the empty bottles left there by the householders. By the morning, Rick’s hands are sore and blistered. It also strains his knees and back. Angry pets are another problem. The other problem is the unsociable hours.
Living by the sword
When Cristina Sanchez told her parents that she wanted to become a bullfighter instead of a hairdresser, they weren’t too pleased. But when she was eighteen her parents realized that she was serious and sent her to a bullfighting school in Madrid, where she trained with professionals.
Since last July, Sanchez has been the most successful novice in Spain and is very popular with the crowds. After brilliant performances in Latin America and Spain earlier this year, Sanchez has decided that she is ready to take the test to become a matador de toros. Out of the ring, Sanchez does not look like a matador. She is casually elegant, very feminine and wears her long hair loose. She seems to move much more like a dancer than an athlete, but in the ring she is all power.
When she was fourteen, Sanchez’s father warned her that the world of bullfighting was hard enough for a man and even harder for a woman. It seems he is right. ‘It really is a tough world for a woman”, says Sanchez. “You start with the door shut in your face. A man has to prove himself only once, whereas I have had to do it ten times just to get my foot in the door.”
In perhaps the world’s most masculine profession, it would seem strange if Sanchez had not met problems. But even though Spanish women won the legal right to fight bulls on equal terms with men in 1974, there are still matadors like Jesulin de Ubrique who refuse to fight in the same ring as her.
Sanchez lives with her family in Perla, south of Madrid. Her family is everything to her and is the main support in her life. “My sisters don’t like bullfighting, they don’t even watch it on TV, and my mother would be the happiest person in the world if I gave it up. But we get on well. Mum’s like my best friend.”
When Sanchez is not fighting she has a tough fitness routine – running, working out in the gym and practicing with her father in the afternoon. By nine she is home for supper, and by eleven she is not in bed. She doesn’t drink, smoke or socialize. “You have to give up a lot,” says Sanchez. “It’s difficult to meet people, but it doesn’t worry me – love does not arrive because you look for it.”
Sanchez spends most of the year traveling: in summer to Spanish and French bullfights and in winter to Latin America. Her mother dislikes watching Sanchez fight, but goes to the ring when she can, if not, she waits at home next to the television. Her husband has had to ring three times to say that their daughter had been injured, twice lightly in the leg and once seriously in the stomach. After she has been wounded, the only thing Sanchez thinks about is how quickly she can get back to the ring. “It damages your confidence,” she says “but it also makes you mature. It’s just unprofessional to be injured. You cannot let it happen.” Sanchez is managed by Simon Casas, who says, “At the moment there is no limit to where she can go. She has a champion’s mentality, as well as courage and technique.”
1. When Sanchez told her parents that she wanted to be a bullfighter they:
a. felt a little pleased
b. thought she was too young
c. thought she had a good sense of humour
d. were initially opposed to the idea
2. Sanchez thinks that:
a. living in today’s world is difficult for a woman.
b.bullfighting is a difficult career for women
c. it is impossible to succeed as a female bullfighter
d.women have to demonstrate their skills as much as male bullfighters do.
3. Sanchez’s mother:
a. is everything to the family
b.prefers to watch her daughter on TV
c. supports her more than the rest of her family
d.would prefer Cristina to leave the ring
4. What does “it” in line 37 refer to?
a. the fitness routine
b. not socializing
c. giving up
d. smoking
5. Sanchez does not socialize often because:
a. she doesn’t like cigarettes and alcohol
b. her work takes up most of her time
c. she is worried about meeting people
d. it’s too difficult to look for friends
6. What does Sanchez think about after being injured?
a. her next chance to fight bulls
b. her abilities
c. her development
d. her skills
TRICKY JOBS
How many of us used to dream of joining the circus when we were children? Well, Chris Sayers, a trapeze artist at Zippo’s Circus, did just that. It took him ten years of training before he left confident enough to perform six meters above the ground. Since than he has become one of the few people in the world who can do four somersaults one after the other. There are many risks involved in this job. Trapeze artists need to work with a partner they can depend on. When flying through the air at 60 mph, they have to be sure their partner will catch them. “Many times in the past, if I hadn’t had a partner I could trust. I would have fallen and probably hurt myself seriously,” says Chris. People who work in the circus love the risks and the thrill of their profession. Broken bones are part of the job. “I just wish they didn’t take so long to mend.” Chris explains. He earns 500$ per week, but it is certainly not easy money.
There are only two hundred combat soldiers in the British Army who can parachute into the sea, drive for hours in freezing waters and then spy in enemy territory successfully. James Rennie is one of them. This isn’t his real name, because his own identity has to be kept secret.” It’s very exciting job, but it’s also tough and dangerous. You have to be courageous, “says James. It takes five long years of training before such a soldier can go on a special mission. According to James, the toughest part of the business is spying. “I’ve been on a lot of missions that involve this kind of work, if the enemy had caught us, they would have killed us. “45000 $ per year might sound like a lot, but few people would risk their lives for less.
Most patients are thankful for the care they get from their doctors, but when it comes to animals it’s a different story. Every vet knows that animals are much more likely to turn round and bite rather than thank them. Steve Divers is an experienced vet and has been bitten by countless cats and dogs. With more dangerous animals, though, he takes special care. For example, with poisonous snakes, he keeps them in a cloth bag and uses the metal instrument to keep the head down and the teeth away from the hands. “If I didn’t know how to handle some animals, I would probably have permanent scars by now,” Steve says. Although it takes many years of study to become a vet, it is a very rewarding and well-paid career. “All animals in need must be treated. I would never ignore a sick animal, even if it was dangerous enough to kill me,” says Steve.
