6. Прочитать текст "Making a selection” про себя.

It is quite normal for the candidate to be interviewed by more than one person. The interviewers would then compare notes before deciding which candidate to appoint.

The candidates may be given a test, in which the candidate’s potential to perform the necessary activities is measured. An aptitude test will cover areas such as:

• mental abilities, e.g. powers of reasoning;
• physical qualities, e.g. coordination;
• arithmetical abilities, e.g. addition and multiplication.

An intelligence test may be used to find out the candidate’s general powers of reasoning. The test  will normally be a written one, made up of numerical, diagrammatical and verbal questions, such as identifying one or more shapes which have common features. Or writing down the next number in a series. Or comparing a series of words to see which have similar meanings. Usually a certain time limit is given for the testee. Once the test is completed, it is marked and a score is obtained.

The company may also insist on a medical examination before the job offer is confirmed. This will give a clear indication as to whether the applicant is physically suitable for the post.

Once an applicant has accepted a post, a letter is sent, confirming the appointment. In the same letter the conditions of service will often be included. This sets out the employee’s statutory legal rights and obligations. The terms and conditions will cover areas such as:

• name and address of the employer and employee
• date employment begins
• job title and job description
• level of pay and whether it will be received  weekly or monthly
• holiday entitlement
• hours of work
• conditions relating to sickness pay
• conditions relating to the pension scheme
• amount of notice the employee has to give the firm if he/she is leaving
• notice of any disciplinary procedure used by the company.

A talk between two acquaintances:

A. So, Bruce, when you lost your job, how long did you take to find another job?

B. Well, not too long compared with some people. Just six months. I remember that I sent 700 resumes.

A. Seven hundred job applications in six months. That’s incredible!

B. Well, it is only about for a day.

A. Maybe, but that’s a lot of paperwork…

B. Well, I quess so.

A. And what was your job before that?

B. Well, you see, I worked as a policeman in the early 1990. Then I worked as National Sales Manage with Excel. but the company closed because of heavy competition and I lost the job.

A. And where are you working now?

B. I’ve got a job in Rochester Telephone. I’m in the Marketing Department. I develop new markets for phone services.

A. How long have you been working there now?

B. Just tow months. It’s great to be employed again!

A. Bruce, and what advice would you give to someone who is looking for a job?

B. Well, firstly – attack the problem immediately. Don’t go on a long holiday – it won’t help you to find a job.

A. It’s just wasting time.

B. That’s right. Secondly, work, work, work on looking for a job. Before you lost your job, you did a 40-hour week, so why not now?

A. So work full-time on your job applications.

B. Yes, but at the same time – relax occasionally. Go to the beach, have lunch with friends, go the gym – you need a break from time to time, even when you are unemployed.

A. Useful advice. Any more?

B. Yes. It’s nice to meet people who are in the same situation as you – other unemployed people. You realize you are not the only unemployed person in town, and you can give each other some good ideas.

A. So you should meet people in the same position. Anything else?

B. Yes. Don’t apply for a job if you don’t want it – be selective. If you go for an interview for a job you don’t want – you are stupid. You won’t get it.

A. Very true. What about friends and colleagues?

B. Yes, they can be very useful. Talk to them as often as possible. That’s how I got my present job, I learned about it from my friend.
