Unit 3. The future of jobs
1.
Your education and experience may make you eligible to apply for a job but, to be successful in most roles; you will need skills that. There are, inevitably, a wide range of skills that could be useful to employers. Each of us also has our own personal range of skills, and we therefore can each make a unique contribution to any organisation. An open mind, and a willingness to embrace new ideas, is probably one of the most useful attributes that you can bring to any organisation.
2.
We therefore all need to be flexible in our working patterns and be prepared to change jobs and/or sectors if we believe there are better opportunities elsewhere. These are skills that are not specific to one particular career path but are useful across all employment sectors. Employers are often looking for skills that go beyond qualifications and experience. Some will be specific to the job, but the vast majority will be so-called ‘soft
skills’ that can be used in any job or employment sectors. However, they usually want to see that you already have the other ‘soft skills’
before hiring, because they are much harder to teach. Getting along with and working well with other people, such as communication skills and other interpersonal skills. Being reliable and dependable: doing what you say you will by the deadline you have agreed, and turning up when you are meant to be there.

Unit 1
Life without wireless
Invisible rays are all around us, and most of us never even notice. In today’s technology-saturated world, it’s hard to imagine living life without a wireless connection. But in one American town, wireless is actually illegal. Green Bank, West Virginia is a small town located in the United States’ National Radio Quiet Zone. The Quiet Zone is a 13,000 square mile area that protects two telescopes from any radio or wireless signal interference. That means no Wi-Fi, no cell phones, no Bluetooth, no microwave ovens, no TV, and even no radio is allowed in this area.
While many of us would shudder at the thought of pulling the plug on our cell phones, laptops, and televisions, the wireless ban has attracted people who suffer from electromagnetic hypersensitivity. Many of these people have decided to live in the town to get relief from their condition, which causes severe headaches, nausea, pain and heart problems.
Diane Schou is one of these people with electromagnetic hypersensitivity. In 2003, after a new cell-phone tower was installed near her home in Iowa, Diane began to experience an onslaught of negative symptoms. First came heart palpitations, then fatigue, nausea and migraines. After learning about electromagnetic hypersensitivity, Schou set off on a journey across the United States, looking for a place where she could escape wireless signals. When a park ranger told her about Green Bank, Schou went out on a limb and moved to the
town, and she hasn’t looked back. In Green Bank, she says, she can finally live a
life free of pain.
Living in Green Bank is no easy feat, Schou says. Coming to the town is a culture shock, and adjusting to a world with little technology beyond electric lights and heating is hard for many. But for people suffering from electromagnetic sensitivity, it is one of the only places where they can find relief. Today, the town has become a gathering place for a few dozen electrosensitives from around the United States.
While most of us couldn’t imagine life in Green Bank, for the electrosensitives who live there, it’s hard to imagine life outside of it. How long
could you survive without all of the conveniences of modern technology?

Unit 2
Life at university
I'm Alice… … and I'm Neil.
Hello. Hello, Neil. You went to university, didn't you? Yes. University – the best days of my life. I made fantastic friends, went to
great parties…
Did some work?
Well, yeah, I did some work, but probably not enough. Well, the subject of today's show is student mental health. So, Neil, do you think you're looking back at your university days through rose-tinted spectacles? And that means looking at a situation as being better than it really was. I did feel out of my comfort zone when I arrived. Yes, everyone seemed to know everyone… knew where to go.
Yes. Well, did you talk to anyone about your feelings, Neil? Did you get any counselling?
What? No, not me. I'm one of those men who isn't good at talking about their feelings, Alice. I just felt a bit homesick that's all – I missed my friends and family.
Now in the UK, there has been a rise in students using counselling services. Why's that, Alice?
Well, let's listen to Kirsty, a student at Exeter University, talking about why she has had problems. Did she enjoy her first days in college?
Kirsty McMurron, student at Exeter University
No. The thing is… it… is a real balancing act. When I first got to university I don't think I'd really realized that I'd forgotten how to make friends you know, I'd been with the same school friends for seven years, and so I was trying to balance, you know, social success with academic success whilst learning how to look after myself at quite a young age. And I think that's the experience of a lot of young people. And people really struggle with it.
What's a balancing act, Alice?
It's where you try to give your attention to two or more things at the same time. So here, Kirsty is trying to balance making new friends with doing her academic work and learning to look after herself.

OK, let's listen to Dr Ruth Caleb of the counselling service at Brunel University in London talking about what practical stuff students could learn before leaving for university that might make life easier for them.
Dr Ruth Caleb, Head of the counselling service at Brunel University, London
Certain things that I think it would be very very helpful for students to have put in place are an ability to do the practical things of life – to do the washing, to do the cleaning and so on – being able to cook. Budgeting is extremely important in university life. And also spending time on your own comfortably.
Yes, that's excellent advice. I couldn't boil an egg when I arrived at uni.
Oh, really? Can you do it now, Neil?
Just about, just about.
Yeah? Great. And what about budgeting? This means planning how much money you have and how you will spend it.
I'm still pretty bad at that. However, I am very good at spending time on my own comfortably.
Yes, I can believe that – feet up, watching TV with a takeaway.
Takeaway, of course a takeaway cause I can't cook anything…
No.
… not even an egg. You know me so well. So how about the answer to
today's quiz question, Alice?
Alice Alright then. In a survey of students at Imperial College London, how many said they suffered from high levels of stress or a mental health
condition during their time at college? Was it… a) 1 out of 4? b) 2 out of 4? or c)
3 out of 4? And I said c) 3 out of 4.
Yes. And you are correct – well done, Neil! The survey, completed by over a thousand students, also found that almost 70% of those that suffer from stress do so at least once a week, and 9% of students feel stressed constantly. Well, I feel anxious just thinking about all that stress. That brings us to the end. Good-bye! Bye!

Finn
… and I'm Finn. Hello.
Neil
Hello there, Finn. Now, what do you know about robots?
Finn
Robots? Well, (Finn does an impression of a robot voice) they talk in a funny way… like that!
Neil
Yes. You sound quite convincing there actually, Finn.
Finn
Do you like it?
Neil
Yes, I do. Is there anything else you know about robots?
Finn
Well, there are… there are a couple of good ones in the Star Wars, aren't there?
Neil
Oh, yes. R2-D2 and C-3PO. C-3PO talks in quite a human voice.
Finn
He does. But of course that's science fiction not real life.
Neil
No. But things have moved on in real life. The use of machines to do work that people do or used to do is called automation and that's the subject of today's show.
Finn
But before we talk more about this, l'd like you, Neil, to answer today's quiz question. What makes a job more likely to be done by robots? Is it if a job involves… a) manipulating small objects? b) working in open spaces? Or c) social and emotional skills?
Neil
Hmm… OK. Well, I'm going to guess. Manipulating small objects, I think.
Finn
Interesting. OK, we'll find out if you're right or wrong later on. Now, two UK academics have calculated how susceptible to – that means likely to be affected
