Exercise 14 - Read the text and choose the best answer.
1. Not so long ago almost any student who successfully completed a university degree or diploma
course could find a good career quite easily. Companies toured the academic institutions, competing
with each other to recruit graduates. However, those days are gone, even in Hong Kong, and nowadays
graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs.
2. Most careers organizations highlight three stages for graduates to follow in the process of securing a
suitable career: recognizing abilities, matching these to available vacancies and presenting them well to
prospective employers.
3. Job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities. One area of assessment should
be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within their subject area.
Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes, or the relative importance to
themselves of such matters as money, security, leadership and caring for others. An honest assessment
of personal interests and abilities such as creative or scientific skills, or skills acquired from work
experience, should also be given careful thought.
4. The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about how the
general employment situation is likely to develop in the future. To do this, graduates can study job
vacancies and information in newspapers or they can visit a careers office, write to possible employers
for information or contact friends or relatives who may already be involved in a particular profession.
After studying all the various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons
between various careers.
5. Good personal presentation is essential in the search for a good career. Job application forms and
letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling errors. Where
additional information is asked for, job seekers should describe their abilities and work experience in
more depth, with examples if possible. They should try to balance their own abilities with the
employer's needs, explain why they are interested in a career with the particular company and try to
show that they already know something about the company and its activities.

6. When graduates are asked to attend for interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they
can about the prospective employer. Dressing suitably and arriving for the interview on time are also

who want to do the course. Parents pay $280 for the course where their children can have fun and learn
how to make good food.
Class member Bill, aged ten, says, "I love my mum's cooking and now I can do it better than her. The
teachers make us laugh, especially when we sit down with them to share the food we've made."
Flora is twelve, and she is having problems preparing onions. "I love cooking. I did a meal for ten
friends which they really enjoyed. Then my mum suggested I take up a hobby, instead of doing nothing
at weekends. I was happy staying at home, so I wasn't to keen at first. I'm really glad I decided to come,
though."
Their teacher, Philippe, says, "It's great fun. Children pay attention and remember things better than
adults, although the kitchen isn't always as tidy when they are cooking! As adults, we're always learning
