JOB WANTED

To hunt for job is not an easy task to new graduates especially that the world is experiencing global crisis now. Unemployment is rampant in all countries. Some people find jobs using the internet, some find in newspapers and some do a bit odd things to get the attention of potential employers. An example is a picture below with a caption from yahoonews.com.


Jobless university graduate David Rowe wears a sandwich board advertising his search for employment as he walks along Fleet Street in central London, September 22, 2009. In a pinstripe suit, silk tie and with polished brogues, Rowe appears the epitome of a successful London city worker, except for one glaring difference - he's wearing a sandwich board that says "JOB WANTED".

Let's study:

Vocabulary:
epitome = typical example (She's an epitome of elegance.)

rampant = happening without control (Swine flu was rampant in Mexico.)

brogues = regional accent (He has polished brogues.)


Discussion:
What is your dream job?

Are there many good job vacancies for you in your country?

Does everyone have equal job opportunities in your country?

Give 3 jobs:
= which you think are the best jobs in the world
= which you think are the worst jobs in the world
