BUSINESS ENGLISH


In the past jobs used to be so durable than most of the people had the same job during their lives.

Nowadays the things have changed; in fact, young people who work expect that their jobs last around just three years. Besides, there is not a concrete explanation to this phenomenon, but one reason for all this could be the wider variety of jobs and the possibilities of acceding to jobs with better salary or remuneration.

So, the first impressions and jobs interviews are important issues related to what it has been said before.


Here it goes a Prezi presentation which mentions some important tips to take into account to have a good job interview. Below, there are some questions that could help you to reflect about what you will see in the presentation. 



Reflection

- Have you ever had a job interview?
      - If you have had: Have you had applied some of these tips?
      - If you have not had: Which of these tips you would take into account?

- Do you think that first impression (appearance) clearly determines the employer decision? Why?

- The 21th century society offers a wider variety of jobs than the 20th century. Do you think that because of that people is less prepared? Explain.

- Do you agree with the statement which says that in contrast with other generations, young people want to have several jobs experiences in their life?
