- We are at the time which, together with the open policy, foreign businessmen are flocking to our country to do business or establish companies, business enterprises, and factories. These companies or enterprises usually use new office machines and modern equipment. Therefore, in order to get a good job, besides our professional knowledge, we, young people try our best to improve our knowledge of computer technology and at least one foreign language.
- The reason is the use of computers in daily business transactions is very popular in every big company, domestic and foreign alike. The knowledge of foreign languages, especially English is much more important for a reason that whether he works in a domestic or foreign company, an employee should be able to write and speak English fluently because English is being widely used in almost all branches of activities of the society. In other words, the primary condition for a student to get a good job is that he or she should have a college degree together with a good knowledge of computer technology and of English.
- Naturally, after graduation, every student wishes to get a good job. It seems that a good job has different meanings. And, it depends on each individual situation. To me, a good job simply means a job suitable for my abilities and my interests and needless to say, a job with a fairly good salary. Then again comes my opinion that a good job means a job in which I can improve my professional knowledge, have a chance to study further, and gain my job promotion.
- In short, I’m of the opinion that a good job means a job which enables me to make more and more personal and social progress in future.
