Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs which you might enjoy doing after school or university. First, it is important to r 4 what kind of person you are, which special qualities make you outstanding among people and what you are interested in. There is a d 5 between an interest and a skill. I 6 you like art and enjoy looking at pictures, that is an interest. But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse not a big dog, that is a skill. Then a 7 yourself a question,” In the following three areas—skills with people, skills with information and skills with things, which are your b 8 skills?” After examining your skills, the next step is research. To find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible, go to the library and read books, m 9 and newspapers for information. Ask your friends what they think of the work they do. F 10 , trust your own ideas and your own thinking!

C 2 the right one itself is not easy. “Finding a job” is not the same as “choosing a job”. Many young people end up in a job because they are not s 3 for it. Sometimes “Chance” may play a more important part than “decision”. Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs which you might enjoy doing after school or university. First, it is important to r 4 what kind of person you are, which special qualities make you outstanding among people and what you are interested in. There is a d 5 between an interest and a skill. I 6 you like art and enjoy looking at pictures, that is an interest. But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse not a big dog, that is a skill. Then a 7 yourself a question,” In the following three areas—skills with people, skills with information and skills with things, which are your b 8 skills?” After examining your skills, the next step is research. To find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible, go to the library and read books, m 9 and newspapers for information. Ask your friends what they think of the work they do. F 10 , trust your own ideas and your own thinking! It is your own life, just find the job you really enjoy doing. 09 Choosing a career is a big choice, but it doesn’t have to be scary (可怕的). Some people already know what they want to do, while others need more time. The key is to find work that m 1 your interests and skills—you’ll be happier doing what you love. Think about what excites you most. Do you like s 2 problems and working with numbers? You might want to work in technology or engineering. If you are w 3 to help people, try fields like healthcare or teaching. However, it’s not only about what you like—your skills m 4 too. Are you great at talking to people and understanding their needs? Or are you better at solving puzzles and using technology? Some people are amazing at maths and science, while others are b 5 with creativity and communication. You don’t just want a job you’re good at. You a 6 want one that you enjoy. When you join love and skills together, your work becomes l 7 of a “job” and more of something you really enjoy. Moreover, when you love w 8 you do, it’s easier to feel happier at the end of the day. But it’s also important to think about the job market and chances. If you live in a place full of technology companies, jobs in programming or engineering may be more s 9 . One more thing: your career path isn’t set in stone. People c 10 careers all the time! It’s okay if you start one job and then decide you want to try something new. What’s important is to keep learning and growing along the way. 10 David Wilson can’t recall a time when he wasn’t fascinated by sea turtles.
