Interviewer Today, I’m talking to Sue Perkins. Sue works for Job Search, an online agency that helps people get
the jobs they want. Hello, Sue!
Sue Hello!
Interviewer So, Sue, what’s the first thing that people should do when they want to find a job?
Sue Well, an important thing is to think about what they really want to do. So, people should think about what
they’re good at and what makes them happy.
Interviewer Isn’t it more important to think about which job pays the most?
Sue Actually, money isn’t that important to most people. Obviously you need enough money to live on, but there
have been studies to prove that earning more than a certain amount doesn’t make you happier.
Interviewer So, when you find a job you like, what should you do next?
Sue Well, you either need to send in an application form, or a CV and covering letter. But before you do that, it’s
a good idea to find out as much as you can about the job and the employer to make sure it’s something you
really want to do. You can usually get all the information you need online.
Interviewer And I suppose it’s difficult to get jobs these days, especially for young people. You need a degree in
the right subject to be successful …
Sue Oh, don’t worry too much about having the right qualifications. A lot of jobs involve working as a team, and
that’s more important to some employers than which degree you have.
Interviewer That’s good to know. So you get an interview … What should you do next?
Sue Well, you need to think about what to wear for the interview and also the kinds of questions people will ask
you. Don’t get your answers ready in advance, though. You won’t sound natural if you do that. Just go along
and be yourself. Try to talk about what you can do rather than what you can’t, because then people will think
you’re really positive. And don’t lie about what you can do, as people will be disappointed when they find out
the truth.
Interviewer So what do you do if you don’t get the job you want?
Sue My advice is: don’t worry. If you don’t get the job, it’s probably because the job isn’t right for you. Just start
looking for the next job. Getting a job is a journey and what you learn along the way is very important.
Interviewer Thank you, Sue. That’s great advice.
