1 Listen to a radio programme about careers. Which of the following are spoken about?
| advertising banking career advisor doctor CT lawyer surveyor teacher |
| Audioscript Presenter: It is not always easy for young people to get a job today. However, young people represent the future of Jordan, so it is very important that they get the right jobs. With us today, we have Mrs Asmar, a career advisor for young people. So in today’s programme, you have the chance to ask an expert about work. Let’s speak to our first caller, Nadia from Salt. Nadia: Hello. I applied for a job in conservation. They said that I would have got the job if I had had some experience, but how can I get work experience without getting a job first? Mrs Asmar: Hello, Nadia. That’s a good question. Before you find a full-time job, why don’t you consider doing voluntary work? You will not be paid, but this will give you invaluable experience. Presenter: That sounds like good advice. Now our next caller, Ibrahim from Irbid. Ibrahim: I have a degree in Geology, but the last job I applied for asked for surveying skills that I don’t have. What advice can you give? Mrs Asmar: If I were you, I’d find out about training courses. These courses give young people the practical skills that they need to take into a full-time job. As you have a Geology degree, you could do a course in land surveying and become a surveyor. If you had done the course, you would have had enough experience to apply for that job. Presenter: Are there any jobs which train young people while they are working? Mrs Asmar: Yes. Many banks will train their staff in a career that can be financially rewarding. Banks also take undergraduates as interns. Internships help you to gain work experience before you even finish your studies. Presenter: Thank you. OK, now we have Sami from Jerash. Sami: Can you tell me the most popular jobs for young people today? Mrs Asmar: It depends on the person’s interests and qualifications. Of course many people with degrees in Medicine want to get jobs as doctors or in hospitals. Others take Law degrees because they want to work as lawyers and solicitors. Sami: What if you don’t have a degree in Medicine or Law? Mrs Asmar: There are often job opportunities in Information and Communication Technology, or ICT. Today we are seeing the first generation of people who have grown up using computers, mobile phones, tablets, etc., so ICT comes naturally to many young people. This is an area where young people probably have an advantage over older people. Presenter: One final question, from Miriam in Aqaba. Miriam: When you were young, what job would you have taken if you'd had the choice of any job available? Mrs Asmar: That’s a very good question! I did have the choice, and I chose this one! I really enjoy helping young people to find suitable careers. |
