Welding Processes.
Nowadays welding is used instead of bolting and riveting. It is also a basic process in the manufacture of machinery. There are two kinds of welding: pressure welding and heat welding. Pressure welding is the process, when the weld is achieved by pressure. Heat welding is the process when the weld is achieved by heat. The welding process depends greatly on the properties of the metals, the purpose of their application and the available equipment. Welding processes are classified according to the sources of heat and pressure. Other joining processes are laser welding and electron-beam welding. Gas welding is a non – pressure process using heat from gas flame.
Computer operator
I want to become computer operator. I am interested in computers. It is a whole new world.
Many people continue careers of their parents or grandparents but it is not the case with me. My mother is a teacher and my father is a driver. But I don't want to be neither a teacher nor a driver.
My favourite subjects are mathematics, physics, and, of course, computer science. I am not interested in such subjects as geography, biology or chemistry. My hobby is computer games and computer programming.
I have a computer at home and can spend hours working at it. It is much easier to do things on computer, for example to write a composition. You can change the text as many times as you want and you don't need to rewrite everything if you changed something.
I think that the profession can give many opportunities. Computers are the most rapidly changing sphere of modern technology. We are living in the age of information. And I think that the future is just filled with computers.
Today people can work, go shopping or even go on dates sitting at their computers.
Should I Become a Secretary?
Secretaries are responsible for the administrative, planning, and organizational duties involved in maintaining a business. They have a wide variety of daily tasks, such as manning the phones, making appointments and scheduling meetings, handling filing systems, and organizing mail. Most commonly, secretaries work for businesses, law or medical offices, or hospitals, but some positions allow secretaries to work from home.
Most secretaries have full-time schedules, though those who work from home may have schedules that are more flexible. Secretaries often handle confidential information, so they must be discreet and respectful of their employers and clients.
I really enjoy talking to people, making company and being responsible for organizing and scheduling things. I have been doing this for years and have a good skills in it, so I believe I can be a pretty good secretary. I can see myself doing a good job here and enjoying it. That is the main reason for my job preferences.
From my point of view, secretary is a very important element in the office. She keeps the boss informed about important things, takes care of the schedule and represents a first line of contact for the guests. What more, a good secretary should do her best to keep the atmosphere in an office positive and motivating, what I always try to do. I would really love to carry out these duties and that’s why I want to get this position. However, it is up to you to consider if I am a right candidate, or not.
Plasterers
Plasterers mix and then paste plaster onto the interior surfaces of buildings to prepare them for decoration.
The main role of a plasterer is to paste layers of plaster onto walls, floors and ceilings. Plastering serves a protective function, it makes buildings stronger.
Plastering is a dusty and wet job, and in winter you get very cold hands; your skin can develop painful cracks. It’s also tiring and sometimes unpredictable; things can go wrong, meaning that a job can take longer than predicted. It is, however, a skilled job that impresses many people. Every day is different and you never come across the same job twice.
To be a good plasterer, you need an eye for detail, the ability to pick up specialist techniques quickly, and good health. You also need good people skills, as it is important to keep your customers happy. It is a skilled job and there is a high need in good plasterers.
Auto-fitter
My future profession is interesting, important and highly-paid. The profession of an auto -fitter demands a high level of manual skills and a certain period of practical and theoretical training. We are trained to be highly qualified auto -fitter. We must know the structure of a car. We study it at the special subjects. We study features of metals at the Physics and Chemistry lessons.
Once a week we have practical training in our workshop and can remove disrepairs with the help of such tools as a file
a drill
a probe
a spanner
It is necessary to follow the rules of safety techniques to prevent accidents.
In future I want to have my own business and my own car. I think studying at the lyceum helps my dream to become true.
