Read to the final part of the interview about job skills and correct the five factual errors in this summary.
when starting out on a career, it’s important to get the most specialist set of skills and experiences possible. nowadays, most employers are not looking for specialist staff; they want people who can perform a wide variety of tasks within the company. employers especially want people who have good organisational skills, who can manage other people, and who can work independently, as well as people with some intercultural competence.
what advice, in terms of skills preparation, would you give those starting out on their careers now? ib i think the most important thing is to get the widest set of skills and experiences that you possibly can. most employers now are not looking for deep specialists, they want people who can work across a wide variety of tasks within the workplace. so particularly, communication skills, the ability to get on with other people and work in a team, as well as some technical competence. but the most important thing is to make sure that you have got a wide set of skills, rather than just skills in a very, very narrow area.
CRUEL City, London, London,
Where, duped slaves of devils' creeds,
Men and women desperate, undone,
Dream such dreams, and do such deeds:
London, London, cruel city,
By day serpent, by night vampire —
God, in thy great pity, pity,
Give us light — though it be fire!
Лондон
Жестокий Город, London, Лондон,
Где, обманывают рабов дьяволом вероучения,
Где мужчины и женщины отчаянные, отменно,
Мечты как мечты, и делаются такие деяния:
Лондон, Лондон, жестокий город,
Днем змея, ночью вампир —
Бог, в своей Великой жалости, жалости,
Дайте нам свет — пусть он и будет огонь!
