If you are building up debts on credit cards or
29、 rent arrears, debt counselling may be available at your institution. If the problems are caused by political situations or changes in foreign exchange, ask your Embassy for advice.

33、When you are considering a particular policy, ask yourself some questions. What will be paid out to me when I make a claim?

37、ngerous sport 21 【听力原文】 Professor: Good morning. Now, this term, weve looked at various aspects of recruitment and you can now see how much more there is to it than just putting applicants through a short interview or reading CVs. Now, todays tutorial is just to recap some of the main points regardi
38、ng recruitment. Id like you to Q21 imagine that you are managers and we will discuss how different applicants would fit into the team or group they have to work with. Well look at some examples later. You can select someone even a friend who has all the right qualifications. Then, you can also check
39、 that they have a lot of experience that theyve done the sort of tasks that you want them to do in your company. Sandra: But you need to know if they have the right character, dont you? Q22 Professor: Precisely, Sandra. If they start work and you realise that they just dont get along with everybody
40、else. Mike: Youve got a problem. Professor: Exactly, Mike. Exactly. They might have contrasting views on how to do something. They might not be able to get on with other members of your team. Sandra: Even adding one person to a team can change the whole group Q23 dynamic,cant it? Mike: Absolutely. T
41、his could be particularly true with someone who is particularly outgoing or outspoken. Sandra: Could company training reduce the possibility of this happening? Professor: Possibly, but company training tends to show new people how Q24 you do something at a particular company rather than changing a p
42、ersons character to suit your company. Mike: Theres also the question of ability. Particularly in a team situation, Q25 people have to believe in each others ability to do the tasks the boss has given. They have to trust that everyone will do their part of the job. Sandra: Right. But trying to find
43、out what someones personality is in a job interview is . well, is it possible? I mean, you wont find out what theyre really like until they actually start work.

44、ll you? Mike: I dont know. It could tell you something about their personality whether theyre outgoing, for example. Professor: Most people involved in recruitment would argue that it does Q26 tell you something. More and more employers around the world are making use of “personality questionnaires“
45、 to help them select new staff. Mike: Yes. You mentioned those in the last lecture. Do they work? Q26 Professor: Well, most employers use them, but there is concern that they do not reveal the applicants true personality. Sandra: Yes. Some people might just write the answers that they think the empl
46、oyer wants. Professor: Thats true. Very often, employers can weed out the applicants who do that by asking more detailed questions during the interview. Mike: The fact that they have been used for so long and that they are Q27/28 so widely used makes me think that there must be something in them. Pr
47、ofessor: Well, . Sandra: Im not so sure. Just because theyre used a lot, that doesnt automatically mean that they are useful or worthwhile. Professor: True. But these tests have been created by experts and they believe Q27/28 that the answers can provide indicators as to roughly the type of person t
48、hat the applicant is. Sandra: How about the idea of setting problems for applicants and seeing how they approach them? Professor: I like that idea, but the problems need to be simple, since Q29/30 theres not much time to prepare a full answer. In addition, the applicant doesnt have much background knowledge of the way that the company does things. Sandra: Its a good idea, but may not always be practical. Usually it is though.
