Find the job that’s right for you!
1. Nearly 50% of all workers have jobs they aren’t happy with.
Don’t let this happen to you! If you want to find the right job, don’t
rush to look through the ads in the newspaper. Instead, sit down and
think about yourself. What kind of person are you? What makes you
happy?
2. According to psychologist John Holland, there are six types
of personalities. Nobody is just one type, but most people are mainly
one type. For each type, there are certain jobs that might be right and
others that are probably wrong.
The Realistic type is practical and likes working with machines
and tools.
The Investigative type is curious and likes to learn, analyze
situations, and solve problems.
The Artistic type is imaginative and likes to express
himself/herself by creating art.
The Social type is friendly and likes helping or training other
people.
The Enterprising type is outgoing and likes to persuade or lead
other people.
The Conventional type is careful and likes to follow routines
and keep track of details.
3. If you think about who you are, you can make the right job
decision. Liz is a good example. Liz knew she wanted to do
something for children. She thought she could help children as a
school counselor or a lawyer. She took counseling and law courses –
and hated them. After talking to a career counselor, she realized the
problem was that she’s an Artistic type. Liz studied film, and she
now produces children’s TV shows – and loves it.
3. Read the text again and decide if the sentences are true(T) or
false(F).
1. Percentage of working people who are satisfied with their
jobs is equal to those who don’t like their jobs.
2. If a person looks for a job, he / she should look through
the ads in a newspaper.
3. To make a right choice choosing a job it is necessary to
know your type of personality.
4. Some jobs may not fit your personality.
5. Liz wanted to be a school counselor or a lawyer because
she belonged to the Social type.
6. Liz’s dream has come true – she does what she has
wanted to do.
