▪ Article - the best jobs in America 1. Read and comment on the following article. Dmitriy T.M. sent in this graph from CNN (found at Gawker) using info from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, rating the “best” jobs in America:
19
Escolher uma profissão/ Mudar de Actividade
I zoomed in so you can read the chart better. The second line under each icon tells you what job sector the BLS categorizes it as and the total number of jobs. On the third line, the salary in regular font on the left is the median salary for that job, while the salary in bold in the right is the highest reported salary. The coloured icons represent different things (i.e., highest overall median salary) that aren’t as interesting, at least to me, as the other info:

Labour force broken down by sex and race/ethnicity (notice that the numbers are in 1000s, so there are actually 66,208,000 women in the workforce and so on):
I calculated the percentages of each race/ethnicity by sex and noticed a few differences. Here are the % of the workforce that falls into each racial/ethnic category, broken down by sex (sorry if the formatting’s showing up all weird):
Whites: African Americans: Hispanics: Asians:
Women = 80.6
Men = 83.7
Women = 12.4 Women = 12.1
Men = 9.3 Men = 15.8
Women = 4.7
Men = 4.8
Escolher uma profissão/ Mudar de Actividade
So we see differences between men and women for every group except Asians. Notice that African Americans stand out as the only group where women make up a larger proportion of the workforce than men do. I know I’ve read things suggesting that African American men
face a tougher job market than African American women do because of negative stereotypes (they’re angry, they don’t work hard, they don’t interact with customers well), leading to
more discrimination against Black men than Black women (who clearly also face job discrimination). Other explanations? And of course, we always have to remember that BLS data is based on official job reporting; off-the-books or informal employment, which some groups are likely overrepresented in, aren’t included.
And notice that in the sex/ethnicity breakdown, we see two icons, one clearly marked as female and the other as male, but in the rest of the chart, where sex is not explicitly discussed, all of the icons are the male version. Just another example of using male icons as “neutral” and female icons only when discussing sex/gender specifically.

▪ Language opportunity – Speaking 1. Prepare a debate and comment on the following statements. Statement 1: “Many jobs now thought to be non-traditional
for women have been performed by women in the
past. Throughout history, women have done heavy labour on farms and in the fields alongside men, and during World War II over 6 Million women entered the labour force to build ships, airplanes and factory goods.”
Statement 2: “A woman’s place is the home, not on a construction site”.
In 1994, women accounted for 46%
of the total labour force. Nearly two thirds of all women age 16 and over were in the labour force in 1991. Projections are that two out of every three workers entering the labour force by 2005 will be women (Women’s Bureau. Women Workers: Outlook to 2005, U.S. Department of Labour, 1992).”
Statement 3: “Women on a job site make it difficult for men to concentrate; they are too distracting.”
Statement 4: “Women will lose their femininity if they work in a trade.”

▪ Recruitment Exercise 1. Read the following information about recruitment procedures:
27
A. Recruitment The process of finding people for particular jobs is recruitment or, especially in Am. English, hiring. Someone who has been recruited is a recruit or, in Am. English, a hire. The company employs or hires them; they join the company. A company may recruit employees directly or use outside recruiters, recruitment agencies or employment agencies. Outside specialists called headhunters may be called on to headhunt people for very important jobs, persuading them to leave the organizations they already work for. This process is called headhunting. B. Applying for a job Fred is a van driver, but he was fed up with long trips. He looked in the situations vacant pages of his local newspaper, where a local supermarket was advertising for van drivers for a new delivery service. He applied for the job by completing an application form and sending it in. Harry is a building engineer. He saw a job in the appointment pages of one of the national papers. He made an application, sending in his CV (curriculum vitae – the “story” of his working life) and a covering letter explaining why he wanted the job and why he
was the right person for it.
Escolher uma profissão/ Mudar de Actividade
C. Selection procedures Dagmar Schmidt is the head of recruitment at a German telecommunications company. She talks about the selection process, the methods that the company uses to recruit people: “We advertise in national newspapers. We look at th e backgrounds of applicants: their experience of different jobs and their educational qualifications. We don’t ask for handwritten le tters
of
application as people usually apply by email; handwriting analysis belongs to the 19th century. We invite the most interesting candidates to a group discussion. Then we have individual interviews with each candidate. We also ask the candidates to do written psychological tests to assess their intelligence and personality. After this we shortlist three or four candidates. We check their references by writing to their referees: previous employers or teachers that candidates have named in their applications. If the references are OK, we ask the candidates to come back for more interviews. Finally, we offer the job to someone, and if they turn it down we have to think again. If they accept it, we hire them. We only appoint someone if we find the right person”.
Exercise 2. Complete the following sentences with the right word or phrase: a. I hope she ________________because if she _____________________the job, we’ll have to start looking again. b. That last applicant was very strong, but I understand other___________________already. c. They’ve finally …_____________________a new receptionist.

d. I phoned to check on my application, but they said they’d already
___________________.someone. e. This job is so important, I think we need to _____________________someone. f. Computer programmers wanted. Only those with UNIX experience should ______________________. g. The selection process has lasted three months, but we’re going to______________someone
next week.
28
Escolher uma profissão/ Mudar de Actividade
Exercise 3. Replace the underlined phrases with correct forms of words and expressions from A, B and C: Fred had already refused two job offers when he went for a discussion to see if he was suitable for the job. They looked at his driving licence and contacted previous employers Fred had mentioned in his application. A few days later, the supermarket asked him if he would like the job and Fred said yes. Harry didn’t hear anything for six weeks, so he phoned the company. They told him that they had
received a lot of requests for the job. After looking at the life stories of the people asking for the job and looking at what exams they had passed during their education, the company had chosen six people to interview, done tests on their personality and intelligence and they had then given someone the job.
Exercise 4. Read this newspaper article and find the answers to the following questions in the text: Branson’s new route to more jobs
For many young people lucky enough to get a job after leaving school or college, the biggest shock of the transition to work is how few holidays they get. Having spent their academic years working an eight or nine-month year, it can be depressing to realize that for the rest of their working lives they will be able to take only four weeks off a year. Many would jump at the chance to take three months off - and that’s exactly what happened at Virgin Atlantic, the airline run by Richard Branson. He believes the new initiative could help to reduce unemployment. Faced last autumn with the recession and with its failure to acquire more flight slots out of
29
Escolher uma profissão/ Mudar de Actividade
Heathrow airport, the company was having to consider redundancies. Mr. Branson wrote to staff saying that cutting back on jobs was “something I have never wanted to do”. Instead he invited
employees to take up to six months unpaid leave and to participate in a job sharing scheme. The immediate crisis passed but the idea of a shorter working year took off. When the company later asked for 300 volunteers to take three months unpaid leave, 450 put their names forward. Mr. Branson said: “To be fair and share it around, in some cases we said that people could only take six weeks.”
Most of the volunteers were cabin crew but other staff, including secretaries and pilots, took advantage of the offer as well. “And when they came back from their break ... they definitely seemed to enjoy work more,” he said. The company tends to recruit and train its own staff from scratch. As Mr. Branson said: “If you’ ve
been at college or on the dole, working for only nine months still makes you a lot better off financially than you were before.” He believes there is a broader social benefit to be achieved. “If
you are only taking on people for nine months, that will enable others who would otherwise have no work or be living on the dole to have a chance too.” And he goes further. “I think this should be the basis of a pattern across the whole European Community for the first few years of working life.”
Nor was a shorter working year only applicable to young people. “If older women and men with children can afford it because one partner’s working 12 months and the other nine, I think a lot of
people would like to earn slightly less and be able to spend more time with the ir children,” Mr. Branson said. This year the scheme is on offer again, although not over the busy summer period. “All the people who took time off last year would like to do so again,” Mr. Branson said. But its realization
depended on whether the company could recruit enough people to allow 400-500 existing staff to take three months off. The company was considering whether the arrangement should become a permanent feature, Mr. Branson said. “For new people being taken on in most departments, we’re thinkin g
about making
nine-month working a standard contract.” 1. What were the TWO reasons why Virgin Atlantic was considering redundancies? ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 2. What were the TWO things Richard Branson invited his staff to do? ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________

3. How many people volunteered to take unpaid leave? ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ 4. How did the long break affect the staff’s attitude to their work?
______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ 5. Why is the scheme attractive to new recruits? ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ 6. Is the scheme going to become permanent? ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________
Exercise 5. Work in groups. Discuss these questions: 1. What are your views on Richard Branson’s scheme? Would you like to participate in such a scheme? 2. Would such a scheme succeed in the firm you work/have worked for? Why not? 3. Why do you think so many of Virgin’s cabin crew took advantage of the scheme? 4. Could this kind of scheme only succeed with a youthful staff who have few family responsibilities? 5. How could you persuade people who have considerable working experience and are used to earning a certain wage that they should take a pay cut? 6. What do you think of the following: a four-day week a nine-day fortnight seasonal work job sharing.

Dear Mr. Adams, I’m submitting an application for the editorial position you advertised on SuperJobs on September
10. I've spent the last year and a half working full-time as a writer and editor for a publishing company that specializes in educational content. During that time, I've logged thousands of hours doing everything related to the editorial process, including copy editing, proofreading, content entry, and quality assurance. I currently manage a team of over 40 freelance writers who work on a variety of different subjects, and I ensure that the quality of every submission meets our high editorial standards. I'm also very familiar with English grammar and usage and have no trouble adapting to various style guides. What I like most about my current job is that it gives me the opportunity to learn and be creative, and it looks like this position would do the same. I feel that I could be a valuable asset to your team, and I bring to the table all of the skills that you require in an editor. I look forward to discussing my qualifications further and can be reached by email at
[email protected] or by phone at 460.555.0198. Thank you so much for your time. Best, Nicole Peterson

▪ Format for a Curriculum Vitae (CV)
A Curriculum Vitae, commonly referred to as CV, includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, and affiliations. International employers often expect to read the type of personal information on a curriculum vitae that would not be included on a resume. When writing a CV for graduate school or academia the personal information included in this curriculum vitae template would be omitted. Having a well written, effective resume at one’s disposal is an excellent tool in today’s ever
changing job market. A strong resume may be the sole difference in getting a call for an interview or simply having your resume tossed into the proposed employer’s sludge pile. Simply put, an
effective resume may win you a job interview. In the world of academia, a strong resume, known as a curriculum vitae (CV) may open the door towards a tenured position. The following curriculum vitae template will give you an example of what to include in your CV and show the appropriate format for a curriculum vitae.

▪ Job interviewing: basics
45
A job interview is your chance to show an employer what he or she will get if you’re hired. That is
why it is essential to be well prepared for the job interview. There exist five basic types of interviews: The Screening Interview This is usually an interview with someone in human resources. It may take place in person or on the telephone. He or she will have a copy of your resume in hand and will try to verify the information on it. The human resources representative will want to find out if you meet the minimum qualifications for the job and, if you do, you will be passed on to the next step. The Selection Interview The selection interview is the step in the process which makes people the most anxious. The employer knows you are qualified to do the job. While you may have the skills to perform t he tasks that are required by the job in question, the employer needs to know if you have the personality necessary to “fit in.” Someone who can’t interact well with
management and co-workers may disrupt the functioning of
an entire department. This ultimately can affect the company’s bottom line.
The Group Interview In the group interview, several job candidates are interviewed at once. The interviewer or interviewers are trying to separate the leaders from the followers. The interviewer may also be
Escolher uma profissão/ Mudar de Actividade
trying to find out if you are a “team player.” The type of personality the employer is looking for
determines the outcome of this interview. There is nothing more to do than act naturally. The Panel Interview The candidate is interviewed by several people at once. It can be quite intimidating as questions are fired at you. You should try to remain calm and establish rapport with each member of the panel. Make eye contact with each member of the panel as you answer his or her question. The Stress Interview It is not a very nice way to be introduced to the company that may end up being your future employer. It is, however, a technique sometimes used to weed out those that cannot handle adversity. The interviewer may try to artificially introduce stress into the interview by asking questions so quickly that the candidate doesn’t have time to answer each one. The interviewer may also ask
weird questions, not to determine what the job candidate answers, but how he or she answers.
Preparing for the Interview Before you begin to think about how you will dress for the interview, or answer questions, you should gather as much information about the employer as you can. Not only will you appear informed and intelligent, it will also help you make a decision if a job offer is eventually made. You might also want to prepare for answering questions by listing some of your attributes. Talk to former co-workers with whom you worked closely. Ask them to list some traits about you that they most admired - work related, of course. You want to seem somewhat spontaneous, but you also want to appear self-confident. The way to do that is to rehearse, not exactly what you will say, but how you will say it. A great method is to rehearse in front of a video camera. Study your posture, the way you make eye contact, and your body language.
46
Escolher uma profissão/ Mudar de Actividade
Dressing for the Interview
Appearance is very important and whether we like it or not, it is the first thing people notice about us. You should match your dress to employees in the workplace in which you are interviewing and probably take it up a notch. If dress is very casual, those being interviewed should wear dress pants and dress shirts or skirts and blouses. Don’t choose a Friday, since many offices have “casual Fridays.”
Your hair should be neat and stylish. Your nails should be well manicured and clean. Men’s nails shoul d
be short.
Women’s nails should be of a reasonable length and polished in a neutral color. Also for women, makeup shouldn’t be heavy. Perfume or cologne should be avoided as some people find certain
scents offensive. Establishing Rapport Since the interviewer’s job is to make sure that not only your skill, but your personality as well, is
a good match, you must establish rapport with the person or persons interviewing you. That begins the instant you walk in the door. Let the interviewer set the tone. Nothing is as awkward as offering your hand and having the gesture not returned by the other person. Therefore you should wait for the interviewer to offer his or her hand first, but be ready to offer your hand immediately. Body Language They say that body language gives more away about us than speech. Eye contact is very important but make sure it looks natural. A smiling, relaxed face is very inviting. Hands resting casually in your lap rather than arms folded across your chest also is more inviting. Answering Questions When it comes down to it, isn’t this the main point of the interview? Speak slowly and clearly.
47
Escolher uma profissão/ Mudar de Actividade
Pause before you answer a question. Your answers will seem less rehearsed and it will give you a chance to collect your thoughts. Asking Questions Usually toward the end of the interview, the person conducting it will ask you if you have any questions. You should have some. You should ask about what a typical day would entail. You could also ask what special projects you would be working on. As in every other aspect of the job search, you are trying to show the employer how you can fill their needs. Illegal Questions We have all heard horror stories of interviewers asking job candidates inappropriate questions, such as those about marital status, age, and family status. These questions should not be asked, but it is up to you whether to answer them. Money Questions Money is a very sensitive topic. The candidate shouldn’t bring it up. However, the interviewer
may bring it up first. He or she may ask what salary you hope to earn. You must prepare for this question before the interview. Find out what others in the same position are earning. Always give a range, not an exact number. This will help keep you from pricing yourself out of a job. You don’t want the employer to think they can’t afford you, but you also don’t want them to think you are a cheap commodity.
After the Interview This is something that is too often neglected. It’s the thank you note or follow -up
letter. It is your chance to reiterate something you mentioned on the interview or bring up something you forgot to mention. It is also a nice gesture and a simple matter of politeness.
