Q&A with a career adviser

(Hỏi đáp với người cố vấn nghề nghiệp)

1. Listen and read.

(Nghe và đọc.)


Mr Kien: ... So, I've talked to you about future job opportunities. I hope you'll continue to keep up with the rapid changes in the job market. Have you got any questions?

Nam: Yes, do you think we need to have a university degree to pursue a career?

Mr Kien: Well, it depends on the industry and the field of work that you're interested in. There're many jobs that don't require a university degree. For example, you may consider becoming a flight attendant, car mechanic, or repair worker.

Nam: But how do you get a job without a degree or any experience? Employers look down on job applicants without a university degree.

Mr Kien: No, they don't. You need to show that you're hard-working and willing to learn. Many companies hire school-leavers and provide on-the-job training.

Mai: So, when do you think we should start thinking about our careers?

Mr Kien: Well, the sooner, the better. However, the best time is when you start senior secondary school.

Mai: I read that AI will replace many workers in the future. How do I make sure that the job I choose won't be taken over by a robot?

Mr Kien: That's a good question. Many factory jobs and jobs in customer service have already become automated. As AI continues to develop, more human employees may be replaced. That's why It's important to choose jobs that involve a high level of human interaction, critical thinking, and decision-making.

Nam: So, are these the most important job skills we'll need in the future?

Mr Kien: That's right! No matter what career you may consider, you'll need these skills. Good communication and teamwork will always be in demand. These soft skills will help you adapt to changes and come up with solutions to challenging problems.

Nam: Thank you very much for your answers.

Career experts' advice

Our Teen Talk magazine has recently received a lot of questions from secondary school students asking about things they should consider when choosing their careers. We've talked to our career experts, and here is their advice.

A. ________

First, learn about yourself and discover your personality type, beliefs, soft skills, and interests. For example, if you are passionate about working with people and helping them develop, you may consider becoming a social worker or a teacher. If you are interested in learning languages, history, art, and architecture, you might look at jobs in the tourist industry. Spend time thinking about what you want to do, and list what you are good at. This can help you come up with a career path that matches your personality.

B. ________

Next, you should take into account any career qualifications you may need. Many jobs require formal education at a university or college. In order to work as a doctor, for example, you will need to study at medical school for some years of general medical training, followed by several years of specialty training. But there are also jobs that don't require any formal qualifications. You can be hired as a server or a barista in a coffee shop, for instance, and you will be given on-the-job training.

C. ________

You should also consider your chances of being hired. Some fields of work may offer very few positions. With technology developing at a fast pace, some jobs such as cashiers and travel agents may become automated or obsolete. However, other jobs are on the rise. Doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, for instance, are in great demand because of ageing populations and increased life expectancy. That is why before you make a decision, you should carefully examine the opportunities that a career path may provide.

1. passionate

A. having strong feelings of enthusiasm for something

B. showing happiness and excitement about something

2. take into account

A. describe

B. consider

3. specialty

A. the subject of study that someone knows a lot about

B. the typical food that a restaurant is famous for

4. barista

A. an owner of a coffee shop

B. a person who serves in a coffee shop

5. obsolete

A. updated

B. out of date

IN-DEMAND CAREERS FOR THE FUTURE

Technology has brought a lot of changes to our lives. The introduction of new technologies and the growth of artificial intelligence have also created a lot of career opportunities. Here are some jobs that we'll be seeing more of in the coming years.

Software developers and other coding careers

Nowadays, coding - or the process of writing computer programs - is becoming a valuable skill that recruiters are looking for. A recent survey of tech workers and employers has found that the job of a software developer will be the most important tech job in the future. Not surprisingly, in many countries, coding has even been added to the primary school curriculum.

Content creators

Over the past few years, the demand for content creators - those creating content for digital channels - has increased dramatically. There are a lot of job opportunities for content creators in different industries such as media, IT, fashion, pop music, travel and food services. Companies need to communicate with their customers, so they will always need talented content creators to help them. As a result, content creation will continue to grow and will still be a career in the future.

Data protection jobs

Personal data should only be collected and used for specific purposes. However, personal data can also be misused or used illegally to commit offences. Therefore, the demand for data protection officers, who educate employees about data handling, and data detectives, who examine data and detect issues, will go up. There will be plenty of data privacy jobs for people with the right technical and legal skills.

The above-mentioned jobs are among the many in-demand jobs of the future. If you are really interested in any of them, try to spend some time exploring them, so you can prepare for your future career.

Which job(s) involve(s)...

1. stopping or detecting illegal actions?

2. helping businesses to understand their customers better?

3. a skill that some students can start learning from a young age?

A. __________

Making a list of job options is the first step in choosing a career path. People may pursue a particular career for various reasons such as better pay, job satisfaction, promotion prospects and so on. While making your list, you should learn more about each option that interests you and try to discover new career opportunities that you were not aware of.

B. __________

You should also identify your personal interests and activities you enjoy. Do you see yourself as a patient, responsible, and trustworthy person? Do you have a passion for music acting or working with children? Try to discover your personality and get to know your strengths. This will help you match career options to your personality type and interests.

C. __________

There is a lot of support for students trying to make career decisions. Start by discussing your career plan with your parents and teachers. You can also attend job fairs where you will have the opportunity to talk to career advisers, and meet employers and recruiters. Make sure you prepare well by researching the participating companies in advance and identifying who you want to talk to.

D. __________

Once you have identified suitable career options and done enough research, start working towards achieving your goals. How do you want to get there? Do you need a university degree or an apprenticeship? Are there any online courses or training programmes to help you gain the knowledge and skills your career requires?

(Đọc văn bản. Bạn nghĩ điều gì đã khiến anh ấy thành công trong việc nhận được công việc này?)

Last week when John landed the job he had applied for, he got overexcited. That was probably to be expected, given that he had been experiencing ups and downs throughout the months. John is a programmer that graduated two years ago. He set out to apply for jobs right after his graduation. He had been looking at job advertisements even prior to that. His classmates even had established a contact group to offer each other help. They had been working part-time together on small projects. They had been exchanging information for months when he came across this advert of vacancy. He immediately sent the résumé he had been perfecting. Within five months, he had been short-listed for a test, then an interview. What a long journey to this dream job!
