Unit 1.
2
Careers.
3
Recording 1.1.
4
Hmm.
5
Lots of helpful advice here.
6
Debbie, what do you think?
7
Um, just a sec.
8
Right.
9
Well, I'd say the most useful tip from this list was the one about creating your own goals.
10
I've always believed that if you don't know where you want to go, well, you'll never get anywhere.
11
You'll be stuck.
12
Exactly.
13
Stuck in the same old job for the rest of your life.
14
Right.
15
Next, be comfortable with being uncom...
16
Oh, sorry, no. That's my third point, actually.
17
What I've chosen is make a list of your priorities.
18
And outline your tasks for the day.
19
Yep, that's the one.
20
It's logical, isn't it?
21
First you need to set your objectives, and once you've done that, you need to prioritise them.
22
And if you want to move ahead in your career, you also need to evaluate your progress regularly, as it says here.
23
If you do that, you get a better idea of what you're good at, and also of the areas that you need to work on.
24
It's all connected with feedback, isn't it?
25
Hmm.
26
And what's your last point then?
27
Well, as I said a minute ago, be comfortable with being uncomfortable.
28
I wasn't too sure how to interpret that one.
29
Well, my understanding of this is that when a challenge presents itself, you have to take it on.
30
I mean, if you play it safe all the time, If you just settle into a routine, you'll never move ahead in your career.
31
That reminds me of a quote I read recently.
32
Yeah?
33
It said, if you always do what you've always done, you'll only get what you've already got.
34
Hmm, I really like that.
35
It's so true, isn't it?
36
You can't make progress if you don't take risks, sometimes.
37
Now, Nick, your turn.
38
Which of these ten tips do you think are the most useful?
39
Hard to believe, but my first one is the same as yours.
40
Really?
41
That's so interesting!
42
A meeting of minds!
43
For me, this was the easiest to decide on.
44
I believe that once you've established your own goals, in many ways all the rest follows.
45
Anyway, the second piece of advice I chose is always look for opportunities to broaden your skills.
46
Some companies, like mine for instance, look after their employees' professional development really well.
47
But others don't.
48
And in that case, it's your personal responsibility to look for suitable opportunities.
49
And finally, my third point was, are you really present?
50
Because I believe it's crucial to be 100% focused on whatever task you're engaged in.
51
But now, after talking with you, I think I'd like to change it.
52
I like what you said about being uncomfortable.
53
We really have to try something new.
54
If we don't, we'll never grow professionally or even personally.
55
So, if we compare our final ranking, our number one and number three are the same.
56
We just differ on the second point.
57
That's right, yes.
58
I quite enjoyed discussing this article with you.
59
You have very many interesting...
60
Point two.
61
If you want to move ahead in your career, you also need to evaluate your progress regularly.
62
If you do that, you get a better idea of what you're good at, and also of the areas that you need to work on.
63
When a challenge presents itself, you have to take it on.
64
If you play it safe all the time, if you just settle into a routine, you'll never move ahead in your career.
65
If you always do what you've always done, you'll only get what you've already got.
66

67

68

69

70

71

72

73

74

75

115

116
