Your school may have taught you skills,such as typing or technical drawing,which you can use in your work.You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.

Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself.You may be all thumbs when you handle tools,perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures.It is better to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist.Your school record,for instance,may not be too good,yet it is an important part of your background.You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work. 1.Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph?

A.choosing a career according to what one is skilled in B.acquiring knowledge by working hard at school C.finding one’s strong and weak points D.developing one’s abilities useful in school work

 

What  should you think about trying to find your careerYou are probably better at some school subjects than others.These may show strengths that you can use in your work.A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career.A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work.So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school.On the other handyou may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard.Although not all subjects can be used directly in a jobthey may have indirect value.A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details.This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
