C o u n t r y S t u d y
Check up your knowledge concerning the problems of work and
employment in UK. Compare it with the situation in Russia.
51. Choose the right word/word-combination to complete the sentence.
In some cases both variants express the idea.
Part I
When a company has a (1) vacancy/vacant for a job, and it needs to
(2) hire/recruit a new member of (3) crew/staff, it usually (4)
publicizes/advertises the (5) post/position. It does this (6)
internally/internationally (for example, in the company magazine or on
a company notice board, so, that the job is only open to people already
working for the company, or (7) extensively/externally in the “situations
vacant” section of a newspaper. It might also use a recruitment (8)
agency/agenda, which helps people to find (9) job/work, or in a Job
centre (which can be found in most large towns). Companies that have
their own website will also list available jobs on that website.
94
A job advertisement has to give an accurate (10)
describing/description of the job and what the company needs and
expects from the (11) applicant/application (the person who is (12)
applying/appalling for the job). These (13) requirements/requisitions
might include (14) qualifications/qualifiers (academic, vocational or
professional), (15) experience/experiences in similar lines of work, and
personal (16) qualifications/qualities (for example, it might say that you
need to be (17) practicing/practical, (18) professional/professorial and
have a sense of humour.
Most advertisements specify the (19) rewards/remuneration that
the company can offer in return for your work (including the basic annual
(20) wage/salary, any commission you could receive, regular pay (21)
rises/increments, and so on.) Some advertisements will also tell you
about other (22) benefits/beneficiaries (including paid annual (23)
leave/holidays, free medical care, a company car, free meals in the
cafeteria, etc) that you might receive. If the (24) packet/package they are
offering is very generous and attractive, and is (25)
commensurate/commendable with the work that is necessary, the
company can expect a lot of people to apply for the job.
Note that a company cannot (26) disseminate/discriminate against
someone because of their sex, nationality, race, colour, ethnic group,
religion, sexuality or age, or because they have a (27)
disablement/disability. Any company that rejects someone on these
grounds (either in their job advertisement, during the application process,
when they meet the person concerned, or when that person is already
working for them) is breaking the law.
Part 2
If somebody is interested in the job, they are usually asked to send
their (1) curriculum vitae/resume ( which should give details of their
education, the points mentioned in numbers 14 and 15 above, and any
skills or interests that might be relevant for the job they are applying for).
This should be accompanied by a (2) cover/covering letter (also called a
letter of introduction). This should be typed rather than handwritten, and
it should explain briefly why they are applying for the job and why they
think they would be (3) suiting/suitable for it. Alternatively, they might
be asked to (4) fill in/fill out an (5) application/applicant form and (6)
95
submit/send in to the company. The managers of the company will read
these and then make a (7) short-list/small-list of the people they would
like to attend an (8) interrogation/interview. At the same time, they will
(9) reject/turn down those who they feel are (10)
unsuitable/unthinkable.
The people who are responsible for choosing a new employee will
consider the different aspects of the (11) candidates/applicants to decide
whether they have the correct (12) potency/potential for the job. In
addition to the points mentioned in 14 and 15 above, these might include
physical (13) apparition/appearance (are they smart and wellpresented?), general (14) disposition/disposal (for example, are they
friendly and easy to work with?), special (15) skills/abilities (for
example, are they computer (16) literate/numerate, can they drive, or do
they speak any other languages?) and (17) interests/hobbies (what do
they like doing in their free time?). They might also consider their family
(18) backing/background and (19) medicine/medical history, although
it is illegal to refuse someone a job on these grounds. At the same time,
they will probably check on their work history and qualifications (that is
why it is very important to be honest when being interviewed), and may
also check to see if they have a (20) criminal/ crime record. In addition,
they may also ask to see some form of (21) identity/identification, and a
work (22) permit/permission if the person applying for the job does not
have British citizenship or comes from a country outside the European
Union. The person who most closely (23) suits/matches the (24)
profile/criteria decided by the managers will then be accepted for the
job.
Before somebody is (25) offered/suggested the job, s/he is asked to
provide (26) referees/references from people who know him /her
(usually a former (27) employer/employee, a (28) colleague/coworker,
and/or a teacher or college tutor). Before s/he actually starts working, s/he
may go through an (29) induction/introduction programmer to learn
more about the company and the job. Sometimes, s/he may be given a
(30) temporary/temporal contract and obliged to complete a (31)
trial/probationary period (where his/her employers make sure that s/he
is suitable for the job) before being offered something that is more (32)
permanence/permanent (a fixed-term or open-ended contract, for
example).On-the-job (33) training/trainers may also be offered or
required. After s/he has been with the company for a while, there will
96
probably be an (34) appraisal/appreciable, to assess how s/he is getting
on. These may be repeated on a regular basis throughout his/her time with
the company.
