lifetime. A career involves choices of occupation, There is work that we enjoy and fee! good about. And there is work that we don't enjoy. Every career includes some work of both kinds. How much of each kind there is in your career depends very much on decisions that you yourself make.
Seeking work (particularly first job) that is interesting and rewarding requires effort and careful thought. What can help to make career choices? What makes people give up their jobs? How to take the first steps in starting a career? These questions arc very often asked. Here are some hints that may be useful.
First you must assess your interests and abilities. Self-assessment is useful in helping you decide what to look for, what career to pursue. When you have a clear idea of the kind of work you would like to do and you are ready to look for a specific job, you should explore the labour market, visit job centres, talk to friends, read advertisements about vacancies. After that you must start writing and sending out resumes or CVs. Your resume not only sums up your experience and education but also advertises you to potential employers. Its purpose is to arouse employer's interest in you and thereby to gain an interview.
Employers want to hire people who fit the job, they want to fill the vacancies with competent people. If there is a personnel department in the company then the staff help to recruit a qualified applicant. Employers usually consider professional qualifications and personal characteristics. Preference is given to applicants who can maintain good relations, who have positive attitudes, who can work in a team and under pressure.
It is important for the resume to be good-looking and accurate.
Before writing your resume, ask yourself what an employer would want to know about you, what tasks you could perform, what kind of experience you have had, what skills you can offer and what job you expect the employer to give you.
There are many interesting jobs in the financial system — loan officer at a bank, broker in a securities firm, underwriter in an insurance company, and an auditor.
