I’ve always enjoyed playing computer games and I’d like to make them when I’m older. My cousin works in IT and makes cartoons and games so I asked him if I could go to work with him. I learned so much including how to draw a simple cartoon. But it was really tiring – all I wanted to do was relax at the end of the day, not play computer games!
Mika
I love sport the most and want to teach it when I’m older. I’m good at basketball, but I need to work harder in rugby lessons so I can teach different sports. After school, I want to go to college and study sports science. After that, I want to help with after-school clubs and lessons. My uncle is a teacher so I plan to ask him if I can give drinks to the players at the American football club next week.
Henri
I play a lot of musical instruments including the piano and guitar and would love to have a career in music. Last year, I received a prize for the best young musician in my town. I want to study music at university. I probably won’t get work as a musician after school so I might have to get a job in a café or restaurant first. My dream is to be paid to play in a group and travel around the world.

Curriculum Vitaes: Tips that can Help
Six out of ten CV’s which are prepared by Information Technology professionals fail to meet the basic standards and are turned down without even being read fully, according to a recruitment company. As a consequence, thousands of candidates are excluding themselves from attractive job opportunities.
Although the company handles over 60,000 CV’s per year, it estimates that at least 60% would not be admitted if they were sent directly to potential clients due to basic errors.
The company Marketing Director said, “Sadly it’s often the most highly qualified candidates whose CV’s are so poorly constructed that they are literally dead on arrival. Attractive job opportunities in the IT industry often generate intense competition and there is often little to choose between the candidates”.
“Advice on the presentation format of CV’s in relation to the requirements that they are being submitted for should be an Industry standard so as to add real value to the candidates that you are representing and indeed to fulfil your professional obligations to your clients”.
“Writing a CV can be extremely difficult and too often a CV turns out to be a generic overview including a lot of information that is irrelevant. People should remember that an employer typically spends between 15 and 30 seconds scanning each CV and you have that one chance to make an impression”.
“A good CV is more than just documentation of your career path; it is a marketing tool designed to present your professional career experience according to the new job specification. It should also include details of past professional successes that effectively demonstrate your ability to undertake the job responsibilities outlined”.
