Looking for a job
Getting a job is a problem which every person earlier or later faces. To find a good job when your are young and do not have working experience is rather difficult.
There are many ways to get your first job. The first place where you can ask for a job is the organization where you are undergoing practical training.
Then you may ask your friends and relatives for help. You can also go to a personnel agency and look for it in newspapers. But tale into consideration that agencies take rather high fees for their service.
When you find an interesting vacancy, you are to prepare your resume. You should take into considerations your abilities and talents. Try to write only necessary information, tell about your education, experience, additional knowledge and skills. Don’t forget to write about your personal strengths and accomplishments.
The salary is important factor when looking for a job. Some companies have a bonus system of paying salaries.
Before the interview it’s better to get at least minimum information about the company you are planning to get a job.
Then choose suitable clothes and sleep well.
Try to keep an appointment. Coming late is a bad habit.
If you get a vacancy you must be ready to work in one command with a stuff under manager’s authority. After getting a job, you may have some unexpected troubles with boss, too: e.g. if you dye your hair or wear something not appropriate. The best solution of such situation is to ask a trade union for advice, which can always help you in your fight with an employer. Of course, if you affect company discipline not coming in time or working badly, your dismissal wouldn't be unfair. To conclude, I can say that it is sometimes hard not only to get a job, but also to work in the staff, and if you don't want to be laid off, you should follow company rules, it is a must.

Choosing an occupation
One of the most difficult problems a young person faces is deciding what to do about a career. There are individuals, of course, who from the time they are six years old "know" that they want to be doctors or pilots or fire fighters, but the majority of us do not get around to making a decision about an occupation or career until somebody or something forces us to face the problem.
Choosing an occupation takes time, and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do. You may find that you will have to take special courses to qualify for a particular kind of work, or may find out that you will need to get some actual work experience to gain enough knowledge to qualify for a particular job.
Fortunately, there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision. At most schools, there are teachers who are professionally qualified to counsel you and to give detailed information about job qualifications. And you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions. But even if you get other people involved in helping you make a decision, self evaluation is an important part of the decision-making process.
Выбор профессии
Одной из самых трудных проблем, которая стоит перед молодым человеком, является решение вопроса о будущей профессии. Конечно, есть отдельные личности, которые уже с шести лет «знают», что хотят стать докторами, летчиками или пожарниками, но большинство из нас не приступает к выбору профессии или карьеры до тех пор, пока кто-нибудь или что-нибудь не поставит нас перед необходимостью решать эту проблему.
Выбор профессии требует времени, и вы должны подумать о многом в процессе принятия решения, чем бы вы хотели заняться. Может оказаться, что вам нужно пройти специальные курсы, чтобы приобрести квалификацию для определенного вида работы, или окажется, что вам нужен некоторый опыт для овладения необходимыми знаниями, чтобы получить нужную работу.
К счастью, есть много людей, к которым вы можете обратиться за советом и помощью при принятии вами решения. В большинстве школ есть профессионально подготовленные для этого учителя, которые могут проконсультировать вас и дать вам подробную информацию о характере работ. Вы можете обсудить свои идеи с членами семьи и друзьями, которые всегда готовы выслушать и посоветовать. Но даже, если вы привлечете других людей, чтобы они помогли вам принять решение, все же самооценка — это важная часть процесса принятия решений.
