Ex. 8 Read about how two people came to choose their careers. Pay attention to phrasal verbs.

Jeremy

At the moment I have a very good, well-paid job that I enjoy doing, but it hasr 't always been like this.

Several years ago I used to work as a salesman for a small company that specialized n making motor components for the car industry. It was the sort of job where you ^uad to be committed to your product, you had to believe in it and do everything possible to iisll it. But:imes were hard, and a lot of companies were going out of business, so our company started to cut back on the number of people it employed in order to save money -^:ortunately I wasn't one of them - but in the end it had to close down, and i found myself iut of work for the first time in my life. I applied for several jobs in similar companies, but I wasn't successful - every one of them fumed me down.

Then one day I was looking through the paper and I came across an advertisement for courses that specialized in journalism. 1 filled in an application form, sent it off, was accepted onto the course, studied hard, passed my exams, and became a qualified ournalist. I then wrote to a small magazine for the car industry, attended an interview with dozens of other applicants and, to my surprise, they took me on. The magazine grew in iize and popularity, I moved from writing articles to being subeditor, and this year I became he editor, so I suppose, I've been lucky, really.

Angela

When I was young my father always told me how important it was to get on in life and je a success. 'You must make something of your life,' he used to say. I think he wanted ne to be a doctor or an engineer or something like that. And I can remember how lisappointed he was when I left school early and started work as a secretary.

It was a small, badiy-run company, and when I went there they toid me the job wasn't lifficult and I would soon pick it up. At the beginning I liked the job, but as time passed the i/ork started to take up more of my time and I found I was working late in the evenings and:ven at weekends. And in addition to this I had to put up with poor working conditions and, low salary - I earned just enough to get by - and there were no promotion prospects at II. All this really got me down. And then I started to wonder if I was really cut out for this ind of work - it didn't really suit me or my particular abilities.

Then one day - I remember I'd been working very hard that month and had put in a 3t of extra hours - I went to see my boss to ask for some time off work. I needed to visit ly mother, who wasn't well at that time. I have to say that I didn't get on with my boss very /ell. Anyway, he refused point-blank. He said that it was out of the question and he didn't /ant to hear another word, f tried explaining but I just couldn't get through to him. He 7

wouldn't listen. So 1 walked out of the office, and as far as I was concerned, that was the last straw. The next day / handed in my resignation, and I said to myself that I would never put myself in that kind of position again. I decided to return to studying and go in for law. I graduated from London University and now I am starting to make my way in the world. As my father used to say, 'The world is your oyster¹.

So was my father right? Is it important to get on in the world? Well, in some ways it is, but it depends on how you measure success and what you want to get out of life. After all there are other things in life besides work.

VOCABULARY EXERCISES

Employment Agencies

VJfc* чеУ

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-hunting⁰¹ 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

mave 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 Eays hour by hour. In most American business situations, appointments Be a necessary courtesy.
