Today, Visual Display Units or VDUs have all but replaced the typewriter and are standard equipment in almost every office. But how safe are they? As more and more people begin using them, there is a degree of controversy about their effects on health.

Women running their own business

 

According to recent research, a third of new companies set up in Britain are run by women. Typical examples are Lisa Simons, who started up her own highly successful clothing shops in London with a loan of £15,000 from her bank, and Kate Rogers,  who set up Cellar Cafés five years ago and sold out to a major restaurant chain this month, at a profit of £3 million.

 

There are many other examples. Surprise, a mail order company selling unusual gifts, had a turnover of $4 million last year. The company was started by Claire Fuller five years ago in a garage, but later moved into premises in the centre of Coventry. Similarly, Nina Taylor started her company, NC Books, in an old warehouse in Bristol. A lawyer by training, she had no previous experience of the retail trade but believes that this worked to her advantage. ‘Having no knowledge of the book trade,’ she says, ‘allowed me to bring fresh ideas into the business.’

Reading Part 2, Section 5 Understanding a longer text (6 questions)

Read the article below about careers advice and answer questions 98–103 on the opposite page.

For questions 98–103, mark one letter A, B, C or D on your Answer Sheet.

 

 

Keys to unlock path of career fulfillment

 

It used to be called vocational guidance. Then it became careers advice and counselling. Since the late 1920s there have been various tests to help guide bewildered and guileless school leavers into job categories suited to their interests

and abilities. Hence extroverts have been advised, wisely, to go into sales and marketing, where they thrive on the variability, people-contact and the air of optimism. Introverts, on the other hand, find the quiet work of accounts, stores and engineering, where they can work alone in a less people-orientated, frenetic atmosphere, more to their taste.

 

But good careers advisors need to look at other factors when giving advice. For example, career counselling is flawed if it fails to allow for the possibility of people adapting to, and changing, their jobs once they are in them. Most organisations attempt through various explicit (induction, mentoring, training, appraisal) and implicit (reliance on observation) techniques to mould behaviour into an acceptable pattern. This means that attitudes and even aptitudes of employees may be changed over the first year of employment, sometimes, but not always, in the direction desired

by the organisation. Thus what was a ‘fit’ may easily and quickly develop into a misfit and vice versa.

 

Individuals also change their jobs without leaving them. They rearrange furniture, use space and technology differently and personalise different aspects of the job. They can negotiate with colleagues, earn special privileges and use other means to improve their role and output. In this sense, very soon they are doing the job differently from their predecessors, and possibly from the way recommended by the company. However, both adaptation of personal workstyle and attempts to change the way of doing the job are more likely to lead to a higher level of ‘fit’, because the

changes are usually all attempts to increase ‘fit’.

 

 

 

 

98 What does the writer say about careers advice in the first paragraph?

A Those receiving it have sometimes disagreed with it.

B It has favoured certain types of people over others.

C Some of the standard advice given has been appropriate.

D It has acquired a more appropriate title than it used to have.

 

99 What does the writer say about organisations in the first paragraph?

A The can turn suitable employees into unsuitable ones.

B Many of them have a low opinion of career advisers.

C They are insensitive to the effect their methods have on employees.

D Many are unclear about what to expect from employees.

 

 

The correct answers are: 98 C, 99 A
