Leila Roberts - After you graduate

Invaluable Advice that Takes Fear Out of Choosing A Career for Yourself. 

If you're getting ready to graduate, the prospect of going out into the world and starting work can be daunting. Taking the worry out of work.

After You Graduate helps you to identify satisfying careers and navigate the job-search process.

Students often say they’re studying for a degree because a degree ‘leads to a better job’. At the same time everyone knows of graduates, some with good degrees, who are unemployed or employed in jobs they don’t like.
In other words, there’s considerable confusion. Does a degree automatically lead to a better job? Is it, in a memorable phrase, a ‘passport to the middle classes’? Or is it just the beginning? Is it an irrelevance? How do you move from being a successful student to having a job you enjoy?
Some students don’t use their university careers service or pick up books like this, either because of a sunny assumption that a degree will open any doors or because of an unspoken fear that looking at ‘graduate jobs’ means accepting some conformist straitjacket. A fear that there is a limited and tight number of ‘graduate’ jobs – most of which involve wearing suits and climbing (metaphorical) ladders. ‘I think career is a big scary word (certainly frightens the life out of me)’ wrote Andy, a recent student. Following Andy’s advice I’ll state here that my definition of ‘career’ might not be what you expect!
The good news is that there are many opportunities for graduates (and not just in conventional ‘jobs’); tried and tested ways of identifying what type of work you will enjoy; and proven strategies to increase your chances of getting it. This book will take you through these processes from ‘career choice’ to making effective applications, and beyond.

It takes you from asking, ‘What is a graduate job?’ (Chapter 2) to helping you identify what sort of work you might enjoy (Chapter 3). It then explores how to find opportunities (Chapter 4) and goes on to help you in how to present yourself to employers (Chapter 5). This book concludes, in Chapter 6, by looking at lifetime career skills.
The more you understand about the world of graduate employment, the better prepared you will be to carve out an individual and personal career for yourself, and make it one that you will enjoy.
This is very much your own journey. It will probably involve a lot of work – more than you expect. It will require perseverance, flexibility and effort. You will have to use many of the skills, intellectual and personal qualities which you have developed throughout your studies. Because work is so important to our overall happiness, this journey is also
supremely worth doing.

ETS TOEFL iBT Tips - How to prepare for the TOEFL test and Communicate with Confidence

In 2005, ETS is introducing a next generation TOEFL test. It is an Internet-based test (iBT) that will be delivered in secure testing centers around the world. The new TOEFL iBT test will be phased in starting September 2005. It will be offered fi rst in the United States in September 2005; and in Canada, France, Germany, and Italy in October 2005. It will be introduced in the rest of the world in 2006. 
What is different about the TOEFL iBT test?
• It tests all four language skills that are important for effective communication: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. The emphasis will be on using English to communicate.
• It will be delivered via the Internet in secure test centers around the world. Once the new test is introduced in an area, the computer-based and paper-based tests will no longer be offered there.
• Some tasks require test takers to combine more than one skill. To succeed academically in Englishspeaking colleges and universities, students need to be able to combine their language skills in the classroom. New integrated questions, or “tasks,” help students build the confi dence needed to communicate in the academic environments they plan to enter. The new integrated tasks will ask test takers to:
• read, listen, then speak in response to a question
• listen, then speak in response to a question
• read, listen, then write in response to a question

How to Prepare for IELTS (with Audio CD)

This book (and the tape that goes with it) provides advice and practice in the skills you need to do your best in IELTS. Like the examination, it is divided into four sections: reading, writing, listening and speaking. 

In each section you will:
• practise what you need to know;
• learn what to expect;
• get advice on exactly what you need to do in the test;
• become familiar with the type of questions you will get.

The main part of each section is called 'practice' and consists of exercises which are designed to give you practice in what you need to know for each test: the major skills you need. By practising these you will at the same time be practising a number of useful subsidiary skills. Most of the exercises are based on the sort of questions you will get in IELTS. This is so you know what to expect.
