Unit 6 Here are tips for finding a job.
Lead in > Task 1 1I think many people prefer to find a job
that they really like. After all, most people want to enjoy
themselves rather than have plenty of money without a sense of
achievement and happiness. On the other hand, some people
may choose a well-paid job instead of a job close to their heart
out of financial considerations. If one is in serious financial
difficulty, one can hardly afford the luxury of a dream job 2I think
it is. Although many employers lay emphasis on candidates'
educational background and work experience, some believe
that candidates' character is equally important for a successful
career. For example, in contemporary society, many projects
require the coordination of a group of people rather than a single
person's efforts. Therefore, a good team player is often welcome.
3To start with, the interviewers may ask you about your
education to see
if you have the basic knowledge required for the job you are
applying for. Perhaps most of them will ask you about your work
experience in this field to see if you have the necessary skills for
the job you have in mind. They may also ask about your character,
weaknesses and strengths to find out what kind of person you
are. They may even ask you something that is not directly related
to the job. Your answers tend to show your intelligence level and
communication skills Basic listening practice CDACB Listening in >

(3) Candidates have a telephone interview that would last
somewhere in the region of 15 minutes.
(2) Candidates come to have a tour of the centre. They get to
see the role, see how it feels, and feel the culture of the company.
(1) Candidates complete an application form. (4) Candidates have
a two-hour assessment consisting of a role-play which looks at
their customer service ability and a competency interview. Let's
talk > Task 3
1T-Mobile is a subsidiary of Deutsche Telecom; it is Deutsche
Telecom's global mobile phone operation. There are 900 people
working at the company's call centre; 760 of them are employed
in handling customer calls and they are managed by 70 team
managers and 10 operations managers. Generally speaking, I
prefer to work for a large company because it often has a good
reputation, is less likely to go bankrupt, ensures you a fairly stable
job, and sometimes gives you a good salary. But I may not say
"no" to a small company if I can assume more responsibilities,
have more opportunities for career development and promotion,
or receive a higher salary. 2In a role-play the company recruiters
can look at the candidates' abilities and potential. To prepare for
such a role-play, basically I can do two things. To begin
with, I will make a list of the tasks required by the job as well
as a list of the things I can say and do in order to demonstrate
my customer service ability. Moreover, I can ask friends and
family members to take part in a role-play with me so that I can
become familiar with the situation and find out my problems. I
can also video tape the role-play to further identify problems and
make improvement.

1The interviewer must make the interviewee feel at ease
because otherwise he or she might end up in hiring someone
who is completely wrong for the business. I might do the
following to make myself less nervous in an interview: —I will
close my eyes for a while and take a deep breath. Also, I'll try to
smile a bit to make myself feel better. —Before the interview, I
should get fully prepared. I will familiarize myself with the usual
questions and appropriate answers. Also, I will collect a lot of
information about the company I want to join and its
requirements for the advertised position. When I am equipped
with sufficient information, I will feel more confident and less
nervous. —I won't treat the interview too seriously. Even if I fail,
it does not mean the end of the world, and I still have further
opportunities elsewhere. —I might have simulated interviews
with my fellow students or family members. When I become
more familiar with the interview procedure, I will be less afraid.
2They should be very compassionate because it is someone's
livelihood that they are dealing with. And if possible, they could
write a new CV for the laid-off people to help them find a new
job. I may try to encourage the laid-off workers by saying, "You
are so intelligent; you will find a better job sooner or later. If
possible, I will recommend the laid-offs to other companies 3To
begin with, I will calm down and think about my weaknesses and
ways to overcome them. I can think about my strengths and how
I can make use of them in my future job-seeking. I will update my
résumé and try to find a new job. I will call my friends and
relatives to see if any of them can help me land a job. If I can't
find a suitable job now, I will consider a training course that can
update my skills so that I will become more competitive in the
job market.
