How hard it is to apply for a job!
|
Hi: I want to share my experience when appliying for a job, well I passed the written examination,(it was a one hour exam about grammar, vocabulary, and a written essay) I said to myself this is it ! it was not as difficult as I had expected Well as usual they tell you they �ll call you, then they did so I was so happy the next step was a personal interview in English which I passed after that I had another interview with human resourses which I also passed. Then I had a psicotechnique examination that for me was horrible and unexpected. Too litle time for so many exercises there were about 30 or 35 domino figures to to in 5 minutes and so on, the exam lasted about 2 hours. To be honest I feel a little bit frustated, and I am just telling this in order that we have to be prepared not only in English issues, but in everything because it doesn �t matter how good your English skills are but also and not least important are the social and mental skills. I think the laboral competence is getting more difficult in times of crisis.

I agree with Neda, my "fellows" are a Maths teacher, aEconomics teacher a Biology teacher and a translator. I �m the only English teacher, but I �m the only one who can lose her job because I �m not TITULAR. It �s really sad!  And the worst thing is that some of them don �t know anything about english contents and teaching, so students don �t have english classes!!! |
