Applying
for a job
After
finishing university and receiving a law degree, I decided to start job
searching. Unfortunately, I could not get a high level job. All with one voice
insisted that I hadn’t had enough practice, so first I needed to get practical
knowledge and to work for a few months as an apprentice. And I did so.
Visiting
one manufacturing company, I liked not only the staff and location of the
company, but also wages level and growth prospects. That is why I made the
decision to get this work, cost what it may. It turned out that doing this
wasn’t so easy.
First,
it was necessary to work for a month for free and then three months as an
apprentice. Working as a trainee, I received only 30% of the whole salary. This
sum of money was not big but at the same time it was sufficient so that I might
pay for food, utilities and simple entertainment.
After
a lapse of two months, the employer noticed my diligence and talent, therefore
increased my salary by 20%.I was very glad.
Four
months had passed and I was finally offered full pay. For this, I filled out
the job application, took the test and got acquainted with the new conditions
of work. Fortunately, they were very profitable - bonuses, overtime pay, paid
vacation and holidays. I was on cloud nine and very pleased at this offer!
