2 Przeczytaj tekst, który został podzielony na cztery części (A–D), oraz pytania go dotyczące (1–5).
Do każdego pytania dopasuj właściwą część tekstu. Uwaga: w jednej części tekstu znajdują się
odpowiedzi na dwa pytania.
In which paragraph does the author
1 mention people being trained and promoted by the same company? ___
2 describe a difference between past and present conditions? ___
3 talk about both the negative and positive aspects of a situation? ___
4 give some details of what first jobs might involve? ___
5 describe a conflict between short-term practical solutions and the job market reality? ___
A
Finding that first job after getting your degree is becoming more and more challenging. When your parents
were starting out, they could rely on the fact that companies were looking for educated young people
with little or no work experience to do menial or low-skill tasks. These so-called ‘entry-level’ jobs might involve
answering the phone, making travel arrangements, and helping to put together presentations. Young people
were willing to take on these low-level jobs on the understanding that, with hard work, they could be
promoted to positions that made better use of their skills and education.
B
Nowadays, however, it is harder and harder to find job listings which do not demand two to three years
of relevant work experience, even for entry-level positions. This puts university graduates in a difficult position,
since focusing on their education has made it difficult to take on paid work. If they do work part-time, it is
usually in service-industry jobs such as waiting tables, serving in shops, or doing manual labour, none of which
are relevant to their future careers. This leaves a lot of young people wondering how they can even get a foot
in the door when they seemingly have no chance of gaining the necessary experience.
C
One answer seems to be internships. As one expert on labour issues has said, ‘Internships are now the entry
level.’ University students who land an internship related to their field of study have a definite advantage
when it comes to finding their first real job. Although internships are normally unpaid, which may be
a challenge for less affluent students, they do offer the chance to gain the ‘relevant experience’ which is
so desirable in today’s job market. They also give potential employers a chance to gauge young people’s work
ethic, flexibility and ability to learn, which means that the best interns may end up actually becoming
the future employees of those companies.

D
A major flaw in the system, however, is that internships are now considered so essential that the competition
for them is extremely fierce. This means that being offered one is not easy, so young people have to prove they
are worthy even to get a foot in the door at this level. One advantage to this, though, is that potential interns
are learning early on how to cope in an increasingly competitive job market. In other words, simply by getting
a good internship they are proving to themselves and to others that they can survive the challenges that
the working world throws at them.
