Topic 1 . The world of jobs.
The
latest information relating to global employment, recruitment trends in
specific sectors, trends in the labor market worldwide and labor market
legislation are parameters forming the world of jobs. Meanwhile the official
list of top ten world jobs looks rather odd. For example: paradise island
caretaker, luxury bed tester, resort waterslide tester or bike
rider-photographer for Google Maps. All these jobs are surely attractive.
You’ll never call these occupations backbreaking, exhausting, monotonous or
messy. We all know that attractive jobs are usually creative, interesting,
satisfying and rewarding. To continue the list, it’s a great plus for any job
to be prestigious and fulfilling.
So,
we know what qualities are necessary for a good job. But people should also
have certain qualities to be good for a certain job. Different jobs require
different things. If you’re a designer, an architect or interior decorator, -
show good imagination. Any fireman or police officer should be specially
trained. Nurses or doctors often work night shifts. A travel agent or social
worker must be amiable as they meet people and work with them. Chemists,
physicists or pharmacists should demonstrate accuracy and patience. And so on.
Of course it’s hard to navigate in the right direction. That’s why choosing a
career is a matter of time and common sense. Use all possible hints: the
encouragement of close people; don’t be afraid to change your mind, but don’t
hurry to follow someone’s advice or follow in someone’s footsteps.
In
the next two decades, the world is likely to have too many workers who want to
be freelancers or work part-time. But regular jobs are mostly demanded. The
task of policy makers in both developing and advanced economies is to find ways
to produce high-skilled workers and at the same time create more jobs for not
highly educated people. Solutions include moving up the value chain in
developing economies (food processing creates more employment than growing
export crops, for example). They also include finding opportunities for workers
without a college education to participate in fast-growing fields—such as
health care and home-based personal services—in advanced economies.
It’s
important to build strategies for hiring, retaining, and training the workers to
give them competitive advantage. This will include finding ways to retain more
highly skilled women and older workers. That’s why public education and
training systems must be formed in order to build pipelines of workers with the
right skills for the 21st-century global economy.
