In today`s employment world, you need an edge if you want to succeed, especially if you are a student with no experience and work record. However, your chances gradually improve if you are a fluent English speaker. With this knowledge behind, you can not only get decent pocket money, but also start a solid career and get the much-valued experience even before you get your diploma.
Teaching English is the first idea that could come to your mind. Indeed, if you have a gift of explaining things without losing your temper and if you are not afraid of routine work (yes, teaching involves a great deal of mundane work), you are cut out for this job. You could start off simply by creating your portfolio in the major tutor-search websites like Parta.com.ua, Repetitor.ua and Preply.com.
With teaching experience in your portfolio you will easily impress any HR-manager.
While teaching you will gain better command over the language, develop a higher level of confidence and improve your leadership skills. Building confidence in yourself will aid you, no matter where you plan to be, in the future. And learning to deal with different kinds of people and getting your point across will be a pleasant add-on to your everyday life.
If teaching doesn’t impress you much, consider translations. In fact it is a very lucrative industry that is expected to grow by 46% until 2022. There are job opportunities for different kinds of translators in the market. They may be broadly classified into two types: highly specialized translations and general interpretations. The first one requires a unique skill set and refers to translation of user guides and owner’s manuals of technical, medical or other specialized documents. This job is cut out for determined, picky and meticulous people with love to precision. General interpretations are for those who like to socialize and mingle with different people. General interpretations come in 2 ways: simultaneous interpreting and consecutive translation. Both require high level of concentration and sharp mind. And that’s what you want your future employee to see in you, right?
One more option involves work in support centers and helplines delivering consultancy services to English-speaking customers. This job will be easy to spot (Ukraine is a well-known Mecca for outsourcing support centers and helplines), yet not that easy to get. Examples of sectors hiring in this area include essay custom writing helplines, which specialize in helping people with advice about essay custom writing services provided by such websites as AdvancedWriters.com.
This vacancy is often accompanied by strict requirements to English mastery, and preference is given to job seekers with friendly, caring, but professional attitude to every call. This job is an opportunity to plunge headlong into the English-speaking world and get hands-on communication experience. Physically less demanding, this job with part-time involvement will be a pleasant entry in your CV and a welcome friend of your wallet.
So what could one say instead of a conclusion? Develop your English proficiency and opt for a job that will not only help you improve your present but also be immensely rewarding, if you decide to move out of it, in the future.
