APPLYING FOR A JOB

You’ve decided to change careers. Or you are between jobs. Whatever the reason, you're looking for a new position. If you're job-hunting you can use the help of employment agencies.

You can also study the ads of job opportunities being published in different printed publica­tions. But don't put much trust in ads in the yellow press. Solid companies place ads in prestigious expensive pub­lications with a firm reputation. Carefully read the demands made of the given position. The demand to know a foreign language is very important. In most cases there is a need for free command of the lan­guage - “Fluent English”. Free command is an ability freely to deal with a foreign manager, competently compile documents and speak on the phone. This demand may prove to be the most important.

When you've finally found an ap­propriate position, you’ll have to go through a job interview either in the agency or in the company. But if you prepare yourself properly, you can minimize the stress and at the same time greatly increase your chances of getting the position you want.

The preparation must be the following; you’ll have to do some research on the company you're going to be interviewed with; you must write an effective resume. Think about some questions an in­terviewer may ask: "What do you know about our company? What can you contribute to our company? How does your educational and pro­fessional background fit in with our needs? Why do you think you're the right person we need? What are your good and bad qualities?" and so on. You should answer each of these ques­tions truthfully with assurance. Try to avoid such answers as “1 don't know,” “I don't want” etc.

And now read some pieces of ad­vice for job-hunters.

• Let as many people as possible know that you're a job-hunter.

• Learn ahead of time about the company and its activities.

• Send your applications to as many companies as possible.

• Describe the experience you have which makes you the right person for the position.

• Talk and think more about the future than the past.

• Stress your stabi­lity, responsibility and ability to mix with any people.

• Stress your flexibility and readi­ness to learn.

THE LEVIS STORY

The company makes the most famous and popular trousers in the world. They are made of very strong cotton which originally came from Nimes in France.

Levi Strauss was a German immigrant who arrived in San Francisco in 1853. First, he made tents for gold prospectors. Then, he started to make trousers from the same material. In 1873, Levi's dyed the trousers blue. Levi's headquarter today is still in San Francisco and, in 1993, they sold 50 million pairs of their “501” blue jeans.

The company was not always successful. In the 1980s, they had problems but they changed management and in 1985 Bob Haas became President of the company. With large investment in marketing and advertising, Levi's relaunched the original "501" jeans. The campaign was a huge success. In Great Britain the advertising was so successful that sales of "501" jeans rose by 800%.

Today, about 16,000,000 pairs of "501 "jeans are sold in Western Europe and they are all made in factories in Scotland and France. More than half of Levi's profits come from export.

The factory in France employs about 540 people who produce 18,000 pairs of jeans every day. With thirty-five factories in the US the company is a major employer, particularly in the South. Unfortunately, because this is such a popular product there al many "private" copies made also. In 1993, for example, police throughout the world found 2,000,000 fake pairs of Levi's jeans. In the future, they hope that more companies will allow casual dress so that sales will rise as office employees start to wear jeans to work. Just what Levi Strauss designed more than one hundred years ago - working trousers!
