What do you do well? What do you enjoy doing? Your answers to these two questions will help you identify your strength. An employer will consider you seriously a position when you can show them that you know who you are, what you can offer and what you have studied. Sometimes it is difficult what your weaknesses are. Clearly, not everyone is equally good at everything. You may need to improve yourself and so courses in that field may turn a weakness into a strength. You will need to spend some time on your self-assessment. Your honesty and desire for self-improvement will lead to in getting the right job. Explore the following seven areas to start to get to know yourself: your attitude, your skills, your personality, the level of responsibility you feel comfortable with, your interests, and your needs. Ask yourself if you have any special talents and if you need to consider your physical health when choosing a job. Be as honest and realistic as you can, and ask for other people's if necessary.
Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.
Night work
Can you imagine what it would be like working at night? You’d start your day when everyone else was going to bed, and you’d go to bed when everyone else was getting up. Is that really a natural way to live?
These days more and more jobs need to be done at night. Most big hotels offer 24-hour room service, and need staff at reception and working in the bars. Many companies have 24-hour call centers to deal with emergency inquiries. There are 24-hour supermarkets, and of course, there are the workers for emergency services such as fire-fighters, the police, and hospital workers.
However, few people can work well at night. This is partly because we cannot easily change our sleeping habits. Some people can manage on a little as three hours’ sleep while others need as many as eleven hours – you’re either a ‘short sleeper’ or ‘long sleeper’. If working at night stops you from getting the amount of sleep you need, you will damage your health.
The best part of the day everyone is around lunchtime and the worst point is between 2 a.m and 4 p.m. So if you’re driving home at this time or doing something important at work, things are far more likely to go wrong!
Humans are used to sleeping at night and being awake during the day, and they’ll never be able to do things the other way round. The problem is that today’s 24-hour society isn’t going to slow down which means that night-workers will remain.
