Post 5 : My future job
Hello everyone : Nowadays when the topic of education as a means of social mobility and all the implications of that fact, have been seriously questioned, analysed , and discussed , I think it is inevitable to relate education with future jobs, with your expectations about positions, jobs, salaries, types of work , etc When I was at school I always wanted to work with English as a translator or an interpreter. However, the year I had to enter the university, the career of Translation was closed. I was totally lost because it was the only one I liked. Then I decided to enter English Teaching at PUC in order to change careers internally. How naive I was at 17 !!! It was impossible in practice. Desperate this time, I received the best advice from a teacher: " As a translator, you can't work as a teacher, but as a teacher you can work as a translator anywhere". As easy as that! That's exacly what I've done in my professional development. What about you? what have you thought about it? For example, have you planned to take a major after you graduate? Explain why. What kind of job would you like to have? Describe it.What aspects would you consider when choosing your job? If you were asked in a job interview about your strengths and weaknesses, what would you say? Use 210 words and don´t forget to leave comments on 3 of your partners posts.
See you in classes! Bye
