9、job, that is, to hunt a job. Job hunting is the act of looking for employment. It is also known as job seeking. The immediate goal of job seeking is usually to obtain a job interview and ultimately a form of employment.The people in the pictures on page 11 are doing jobs of different types. What are

Pay attention when you rea

20、d and read as if it really matters. PAY ATTENTION PAY ATTENTION and PAY ATTENTION. 2. Stop talking to yourself when you read. People talk to themselves in 2 ways, by: vocalizing, which is the actual moving of your lips as you read, and sub vocalizing, which is talking to yourself in your head as you

21、 silently read.3. Read in thought groups. Try to read in phrases of three or four words, especially in complete clauses and prepositional phrases. 4. Dont keep re-reading the same phrases. Poor readers habitually read and re-read the same phrase over and over again. 5. Vary your reading rate to suit

22、 the difficulty and type of writing of the text. Poor readers always read at the same slow rate. An efficient reader speeds up for easier material and slows down for the hard. Reading more about “ Kinds of Jobs”What kinds of jobs do people do. Some that I have been interested in at 6 / 16 various ti

23、mes. Artist I include artists in all media, including words, images, buildings, drama, dance and more. These people work with ideas and emotions as they are expressed in some kind of artifact, so let it include even the arts and crafts types who are usually sneered at by fine artists. I just dont ha

24、ve the vision to be much of an artist, although I have bursts of pretentiousness which make me want to be an artist of some kind. Whats annoying is that I will get an idea for a novel or a movie or a TV show but then it wont crystallize, and then I get bored with it. At the moment I am not respondin

25、g very well to art. Something about abstraction is frustrating me, and it has a destructive effect on trying to invent imaginary worlds, events and characters. Ive never been much for visual arts, unless you count graphic arts.Designer A person who blends aesthetics with practical production: archit

26、ectures, graphic artists and print designers, industrial designers and the like. Game designers, too, I guess. This is the sort of work I am probably most suited to, but I have found that because it needs some kind of practical impetus, it is difficult to come up with projects independently, at leas

27、t for me. Also, I find that I have trouble seeing various design choices - finding the suitable one. One design job that used to really interest me, and which is 7 / 16 really obscure, is typeface design. I got pretty interested in it as a teenager, but I just couldnt get into it full time. I think

28、I was partly discouraged by my atrocious, left-handed penmanship. I am always in awe of skilled calligraphers. I used to spend hours and hours designing posters or just drawing words, but I could not paint them, so I would carefully construct the outlines and then fill them in.Technician A specialis

29、t in a technical field, usually related to the production or operation of some kind of specialized equipment. You get a lot of job titles that include engineer that are not engineers - those are technicians. Audio engineers, for example. It sounds fancier. I would make a great technician, because it

30、 requires fairly strict, but not absolute, conformance to rules of the domain. Equipment operation is readily benchmarked for efficiency, which my mechanical mind is pretty good at. However I have not acquired much in the way of technical knowledge in my life, since I fear the dangers of obsolescenc

31、e. Information technology work is mostly a highfaluting kind of technician work, with a large base of theoretical knowledge. It lends itself to the bureaucratic mind, which is something that many people, myself included, find comforting. But it also lends itself to rigidness, which is not something

32、I see as positive.Scientist 8 / 16 The scariest calling - to extract the secrets of the universe, its function and its rules. It requires a kind of obsession which I do not have, and a love of nature, which I am generally half-hearted about, and a capability to invent, perform and document detailed

33、experiments in order to discover properties of the test subject - and I hate experimentation. I figured this out right away in first year university. I think scientists are great and I like to learn about science maybe not so much now as I used to, but this was a brief dream for me.Engineer Super-te

34、chnician. Too nerve-wracking, because engineers make things that peoples lives depend on, like vehicles, buildings, electric grids, medical equipment and the like. While I would certainly derive pride from helping build a new and better orbital vehicle, thats pure fantasy. Engineering is all the wor

35、st parts of science and all the worst parts of design. I love what they make and, like scientists, I respect them immensely, but I do not have a brain for remembering rules and formulae. I would get people killed for sure.Analyst You know, like economists and financial analysts and accountants. I am

36、 sure there are analysts who do not work with money, but that seems to be the primary area. I never seriously considered anything in this realm, but I did think about it briefly once. I think that at least part of the skill set of 9 / 16 an analyst is overlaps with that of other fields, since you ha

37、ve to be able to look at a system, understand it, and predict its behaviour in most technically-related work. But money and business systems are very abstract, almost virtual. Lately I am having a lot of trouble with anything abstract. Its all just turning into a haze of symbols.Clerk Yeah, no kiddi

38、ng, sometimes I miss just being the guy who tells you where it is on the shelf. Reliable, predictable, concrete, orderly, tactile, and comprehensible. A retail store is a nice static system. And I want to distinguish a clerk, who just facilitates a purchase, from a sales person, who attempts to enco

39、urage or invent the desire for a purchase. Clerks dont have stress and they dont make any money, usually not even enough to live on, unless they are at a fancier retailer like The Bay or Sears. There are all kinds of other jobs also called clerk but I have to admit I do not know anything about them.

40、 But they do have a nice, safe, routine tedium to comfort them when they feel like the world is turning upside down. Everybody needs some level of stability. Closing down by telling about your future job I d like to work as in the future.Actress or Actor Archaeologist Ambassador/diploArchitect mat A
