Ex. 1
Когда вы устраиваетесь на работу, то посвятите время тому, чтобы сделать вашу
анкету заметной – авиакомпании получают сотни подобных анкет. Убедитесь, что вы
внимательно следуете инструкциям, даете четкие и краткие ответы и все проверяете
дважды. Если им требуется фотография, то сфотографируйте себя несколько раз в
приличной одежде специально для анкеты, так как это даст понять, что вы относитесь к
процессу заполнения анкеты серьезнее, чем обычно. Фотография из вашего отпуска не
впечатлит авиакомпанию.
И наконец, помните, что существует большое количество разных авиакомпаний, и
вы не сможете им всем подойти – так что пробуйте еще!

Ex. 14
My future Profession

Where do I start? Well, I’m inexperienced young man without a big wealth of knowledge
after graduating from university. And I’ve decided to find my first job as a pilot.
First of all, I sent my CVs to airlines that I found suitable for me. A few weeks later I was
offered an interview. I had to wait for two months for it and this long wait only made me nervous
and didn`t aid my preparation a little. Another thing that scared me a bit is that I had to go rather
far from home to get an interview.
Anyway, I arrived at the appointed place at the appointed time. From the first minutes of
the interview my stress level highly increased because even on the doorstep of the office I was
given an unpleasant look from a random employee.
However, the interview started and we were talking about ordinary things when I
suddenly heard a question I didn`t know what to answer. The interviewer asked why I had
chosen their airline. I was afraid that the flight squad commander wouldn’t get me right as my
reply was very clumsy and uncertain but somehow he accepted my answer. That was a real life
miracle for me.
I went through the rest of the procedures very quickly. When the interview was finished I
was nowhere near being relaxed. I had thought that once it all finished I would feel better, but it
was never the case. Add here a 30 minute waiting period, full of panic and unpleasant doubts,
just to get the chief`s conclusion on my modest persona, and you will understand my inner
condition. I found peace and relax only when the squad commander returned, shook my hand
and welcomed me to “the family”. I had never been so happy and it`s not even close.
