Variant IV

I must say that when you leave school you understand that the time to choose your future profession has come. It's not an easy task to make the right choice of a job. People choose a profession according to their own interests and abilities.

I'd like my future profession to be connected with English and computers. These are things what I'm interested in most of all. English was my favourite subject at school and I can see that I have a humanitarian kind of mind because I was especially good in languages: English, Russian and Belorussian and I didn't like technical subjects. As for computer, I can say that English is just necessary for working with it. Of course special English is used but I think it's impossible to study only technical language. So, my aim is to joint studying English and working with computer.

I think that to be a historian is also very important today. People think that it is possible to live without looking back at the historical past. But it is a mistaken view. We cannot live without history because it is around us. By analysing the past we can avoid the mistakes in the future. If people do not use the experience of the past they will inevitably make mistake in the present. Historians have always tried to understand past human lives and societies. History helps to understand the global historical process. Historians interpret the processes of the past to explain the processes of the present and foresee the processes of the future.

Every person has got his or her interests, values, goals, aptitudes, skills and special qualities. Having these special qualities means you’ve got a talent for this or that profession. Every person needs to realize his or her talent. This realization will bring emotional, mental, physical and spiritual well-being.

I 4. Give me some advice on how to behave at a job interview to create a positive impression on the employer.

An interview is mostly about selling your personality. From the way you enter the room to the clothes you wear, plenty of opportunities exist to let your personality shine

There are some useful tips… To begin with, dress appropriately to the place where you’d like to work.  Dress in a way that shows your personality while still following the company’s dress code. Enter the room with a friendly, confident smie, greeting the hiring manager with eye contact and offering a firm, professional handshake. These behaviours will help you to make a positive first impression on the interviewer. Being late for an interview is not the way of behaviour which is usually regarded as reliable. Once you are there be positive and do show that you want to fill in the vacancy advertised. It is a good idea to show that you are familiar with peculiarities of the company. Having done so, you demonstrate that you took them seriously. Give honest opinions, while being polite and expressive. When you give your answers to the questions, add examples to strengthen your points. For instance, give an example of when you offered great service or helped resolve that problem you said you are good at solving. Speak openly about your abilities, but with respect to the interviewer and the company.

When applying for a job, be sure to bring all the requested supporting documents in the format requested in the job listing. These documents may include an application form, a resume or CV, a portfolio, letters of recommendation, certifications, and other supporting documentation.

These behaviours will help you to create a positive first impression on the employer.
