Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs which you might enjoy doing after you leave school or university. First,it is important to know what kind of person you are,what special qualities you have and what you are interested in.There is a difference between "an interest"and "a skill".If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures,that is an interest.But if you can draw a horse and it looks like a horse not a big dog,that is a skill. Then ask yourself a question,"Of the following three skills-skill with people,skill with information and skill with things,which is my best skill?" After finding out your best skill,the next step is to find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible.Go to the library and read books,magazines and newspapers for information.Search for job information online.Ask your friends what they think of the work they do. The last step is to trust your own ideas and your own thinking.It is your own life.Just find the job you really enjoy doing. (）1.What does the underlined word“one”refer to? A.School.

Grace,24:I sell electronics in a store.I help people make decisions about choosing and buying electronics.I need to know the information about each product in our store very well.I'm a fan of technology,so I think it's always interesting to learn about new electronics.Sometimes I have to work late at night,but I still enjoy my work.And they pay me very well.

A friendly smile shows a confident and positive attitude.When you introduce yourself,make eye contact with the interviewer.Some interviewers offer a handshake.Others don't. Try to be as natural as possible,but pay attention to your body language.The way you sit,walk, use your voice and show feelings on your face is all part of your body language.It makes the interviewer know how you feel about yourself.Are you feeling confident in yourself?Your abilities?Your interest in the job? Speak clearly and loudly enough.Show interest in your voice.When you speak,look at the interviewer.Also,don't say bad things about yourself or the company you work for before. Listen to questions carefully.If you don't understand a question,ask the interviewer to repeat. “m sorry,but I didn't catch that.”“I'm not sure exactly what you mean.” Almost everyone is nervous in a job interview.Interviewers know that.They don't expect you to be completely relaxed,but they want you to try to control your nervousness.They want you to show confidence in your ability to do the job. At the end of the interview,thank the interviewer for his or her time.It's a good idea to send a short thank-you letter right after the interview,or deliver it by hand.Phone the company if you have not heard anything after one week.Ask if they have made a decision about the job.
