1.Choosing a job

a) Some children look up to their PARENTS and want to follow in their footsteps

b) MONEY can also influence student´s decisionc) students choose a certain job to obtain high SOCIAL

STATUS d) students choose a profession, which they are INTERESTED IN e) PERSONAL QUALITIES of a student also play a vital role. It is important whether one is extrovert or introvert atc.

Choosing a future career can be influenced by different factors :

Jobs can be divided according to working time into the following:

Full-time jobs - usually it´s 8 hours a day. Part-time jobs - you has more free time but earn

less. Permanent jobs - don´t finish after a fixed period.  Temporary jobs - you work for a company only for

a limited period of time.  Seasonal jobs -  working only for a limited period

of time at specific time of the year. 

Freelancers - those people work at home for different business partners

on contractual basis

„Every person has to make a living by doing a job“

We can divide jobs into three groups :

1.1 First group contains jobs which we can call MANUAL 1.2 Second group is called MENTAL WORK.1.3 Third group is MIXTURE of first and second group,

or PHYSICAL JOBS

but the most important thing for doing this type of job is TALENT.

2. Finding a job Look at job advertisement Register in an employment exchange Ask friends if they know about job vacancies Become self employed

3. Interview

dress up calm down before the interview to turn up at the interview a couple of minutes

early speak up and express yourself clearly never make out

„The interview is very or the most important stage in the procedure of getting

a job“

4. Amount and form of an income

Wage – money you are given weekly Salary – money you are given monthly Allowance/dole – money you are given from

state when you are unemployed

5. Hiring to a job You sign a work contract which clearly states the

job description, duties and responsibilities, working time, salary and so on

Then you start working and you have to learn how to get on with your workmates.

6. Firing from a job When your working position is not already

necessary you are made a redundant If you do not comply yours working obligations

you can be given a sack

7. Unemployment Today can be unemployed really everyone. Whether young people after ending theirs

schools, people who lost theirs job. They all can be

register in an employment exchange and wait or looking a job on their own .

7.1 Labour Market The labour market is bigger for us, however

there is a transition period with many EU countries

Young people travel to foreign countries Unfortunately, many states do not accept our

universities and if they do, it is pretty hard to get a job in some firm

7.2 Unemployment in Slovakia

We don’t have enough vacancies, salaries are low, income taxes and social deliveries are very high

problem in Eastern Slovakia, it is caused by the lack of good infrastructure and the lack of investments in the region

Thank you for your attention
