and Your Job

What is the perfect job for you? It depends a lot on
your personality People think , act, and feel in different
ways, and there are interesting jobs for every kind of
person . Three common personality types are outgoing,
intellectual, and creative.
Outgoing people enjoy meeting others and
helping them . They are good talkers. They are
friendly, and they get along well with other people.
They often become nurses, counselors, teachers, or
social workers.
Intellectual people like thinking about problems
and finding answers to hard questions. They often
enjoy reading and playing games like chess. Many
intellectual people like working alone more than
working in a group. They may become scientists, computer programmers, or writers.
Creative people enjoy making things. They like
to imagine things that are new and different. Many
of them become artists such as painters, dancers, or
musicians. Architects, designers, and photographers
are other examples of creative jobs.
Before you choose a career, think about your
personality type. If you want to be happy in your
work , choose the right job for your personality.

STRATEGIES FOR LEARNING ENGLISH Q
Have you ever felt discouraged because it’s hard to speak and
understand English? Don’t give up! Here are three strategies to
help you learn faster and remember more.

STRATEGY #1 SET GOALS.

Have you ever set goals for learning English? When you set
goals, you decide what you want to learn . After you determine
your purpose for learning, you can make a plan to help you reach
your goals. Maybe your goal is to learn more vocabulary. There are
many ways to do this. For example, you can read in English for 15
minutes every day. You can also learn one new word every day.

STRATEGY # 2 LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO PRACTICE ENGLISH.

Talk to everyone. Speak with people in the store, at work, and
in the park . Don’t worry about making mistakes. And don’t forget
to ask questions. For example, if your teacher uses a word you don’t
understand , ask a question like “What does that word mean?”

STRATEGY #3 GUESS.
Don’t try to translate every word . When you read ,concentrate
on clues such as pictures or other words in the sentence to help
you understand . You can also make guesses when you are talking
to people. For example, look at their faces and hand gestures - the
way they move their hands - to help you guess the meaning.
Set goals, look for opportunities to practice, and guess. Do these
things every day, and you will learn more English!
In a reading, for example
means details will follow .

Hi Benito,
Thanks a million for telling me about the Salsa Starz show. It was FABULOUS!
Ernesto Sanchez was incredible, and the music was awesome. Their energy was
amazing! We danced for three hours!! Small problem: We got there late, so we had
to stand in the back. It was hard to see. BIG problem: the weather! Early in the
evening, it was clear. Then around 10:00, it started to rain. And it was C -O-L-D! ©

Dear Not Clothes Crazy,

It’s important to look nice at your job, but you don't need to spend all
your money on clothes. I have a few suggestions . First , why don’t you buy a
black suit with a skirt , jacket , and pants? Then wear a different blouse and
jewelry every day for a different look. Second , you could shop at thrift stores.
They often have excellent used clothes at very cheap prices. Third, how about
talking to the other women in your office? They can tell you about good places
to shop. Finally, you should make a monthly budget and follow it carefully.
Following a budget is the best way to manage your money.

Fire in Our Backyard

One evening last summer, my husband and I were preparing dinner
together. My husband was cooking outside, and I was setting the table inside.
Suddenly, my husband ran into the kitchen and shouted, “There’s a fire in
the backyard!” I ran outside and saw fire in the bushes next to our fence. I
was really scared because my 70-year -old parents live next door. Luckily, my
husband acted quickly. He called the fire department and then started putting
water on the fire. The firefighters arrived quickly, and they easily put out
the fire. They said a coal from the barbecue started it. My parents were very
surprised when they saw the firefighters. They were watching the news in the
living room, and they never knew there was a problem. My father said, “ Let’s
go back and watch the news. Maybe we’re on TV!”

COUNTY FAIRS
One of the biggest tourist attractions in many cities in the United States is the
county fair. A fair has something for everyone. It has a beautiful flower show and
a photography exhibit. If you have children, they will love the Ferris wheel and the
fast rides . If you like animals, you can watch many different animal competitions.
The winner in each competition gets a blue ribbon. A fair also has displays of new
products, such as cleaning products and cooking tools. When you get hungry,
you can buy food from one of the many booths. After you have eaten dinner, you
can listen to a concert of live music until late in the evening. Many fairs end with
spectacular fireworks. There really is something for everyone at a fair.

Finding a Job that Fits Your Personality

“ Whats the best job for me? ” This is a question that Betty Strickland hears again
and again. Betty is an employment counselor at a community college in Ohio. She says,
“ People are often confused about their career choices. Many of them are working , but

they are unhappy with their jobs.”

To help her clients think about jobs, Betty asks each person to take a personality
test - a test that gives a clear picture of ones personality. Sometimes these tests
are online. They ask questions about a persons interests and habits. “When people
understand their own personality, they can look at jobs that would be a good fit,”
she explains.
Betty tells the story of Jung Ho, a student who came to her for advice. While
in school, he was earning a good salary as a part - time night watchman , but he was
unhappy in his job. His personality test revealed that he is very outgoing - he is a
natural leader, and he loves to socialize with others. Now Jung Ho is considering jobs
such as a restaurant manager or a fitness trainer in a gym.
Betty also remembers Selena, a young woman who came to her for help. She
was interested in a medical career, but she couldn’t decide what job was best for her.
Her test showed that she has an intellectual personality type. She is a thoughtful and
analytical person. She prefers to work alone more than in a group. She has recently
begun a training program to become a medical technician.
Finally, Ms. Strickland likes to tell about Samantha. Samanthas last job was as a file
clerk in a small office, but she was bored . She quit after a few months. She’s artistic and
loves to sew and paint with bright colors. Her personality test demonstrated that she
is extremely creative and imaginative. Samantha got very excited when Ms. Strickland
told her that their school offers training programs in fashion design, graphic design,
and floral design.
Ms. Strickland advises her clients, “ If you want to be happy in your work, it’s never
too late to find the right job for your personality.”

How I Got My Job

The interview is the most critical step in getting a job - and the most difficult. Here are
some interview tips from people who have succeeded in their job search .

Grace Huang, sales assistant

“I think its really important to make a good first impression. Remember,
interviewers talk to a lot of people; you want them to remember you in a positive
way! You should always be on time for your appointment. Arrive early, and greet the
interviewer with a firm handshake and a smile. At the end of the interview, shake hands
again and thank your interviewer. I always send a thank- you letter after each interview.
On my first day at work, my new boss said that I was the only applicant who sent
a letter!”

Tomas Martinez, computer technician

“ You need to prepare before you go to an interview. I always try to research
something about each company and prepare questions to ask the interviewer. When you
ask questions about the company and the job, it indicates that you’re really interested .
Before I started my interviews, I practiced with a friend. He asked me questions and
helped me prepare to talk about my work experience and my background. I also filled
out job applications for practice.”

Sita Pillai, office manager

“I think the most important factor is the way you speak. I try to be enthusiastic and
positive about the job and to speak with confidence. You should never answer a question
with just ‘yes’ or ‘ no.’ Explain all of your answers! This will help the interviewer to know
about your strengths. And here’s one more tip. English isn’t my native language, and I
sometimes talk too fast when I’m nervous. If the interviewer has problems understanding
you, speak more slowly.”
