Social workers are those who work for the welfare of people who face certain problems in life. They not only struggle for the betterment of individuals, but also for society as a whole. Earlier, social work was considered to be a service done for society by retired people or the rich. It was purely voluntary work done in their spare time, and also just for the purpose of helping others and to get a sense of satisfaction. However, with the appearance of various courses offered by professional social organizations, young people have started looking at it as a serious career choice.

Why is it beneficial to pursue a career in social work? Well, there is a lot more to be expected from it. For example, it is good for your personal growth. When you work in an environment where you get to see the not-so-pleasant aspects of life, you get a reality check and come to appreciate (感激) all that you have in your own life, and then learn to be thankful. What’s more, social work exposes (使接触) you to a lot of cases that require time and crisis (危机) management and almost all social work organizations provide professional training for candidates (人选) who want to join them. Such kind of training prepares you to stay calm and conduct yourself professionally when facing disaster and crisis.

When you read or watch TV, you must have come across stories about animals taking care of each other! Well, if animals can show such great compassion (同情心), we humans definitely can put our fellow creatures before ourselves more often!   And what is a better way to feel more human than to make a positive difference to the lives of others? Making life better for others just proves how human you are!

In order to enter this field, one needs to have excellent organizational and communication skills. It is likely that one will have to work with many people, including children, senior citizens, etc., and will have to learn to deal with them in a patient way. It seems that while working, the individual will meet with a variety of emotional problems that make these people feel sad. Thus, it is important that an individual who desires to follow this career should not only be enthusiastic about helping others, but also be mentally strong.

Why Should You Be an Intrapreneur at work?

Wikipedia defines intrapreneurship as “the act of behaving like an entrepreneur while working within a large organization.” In my view, intrapreneurs are people who have a strong interest in thinking outside the box, pushing new ideas forward in their companies and speaking their mind.

Taking this road isn’t usually a popular choice. It’s easier to go with the flow, collect your paycheck and call it a day. However, the benefits of being an empowered, vocal (直言不讳的) employee are huge. Becoming an intrapreneur at work can help your career and even the careers of people around you in a variety of ways.

Speaking up when something isn’t going as you think it should - even if it’s just the way a project is being approached - demonstrates confidence and forward thinking. If you’ve never viewed yourself as a leader, this might seem very daunting (使人畏缩的) at first. And many people, women especially, might even feel as though they need permission to make their voice heard. The following quote opened my eyes and shifted my perspective on this many years ago:

“The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it.”

-Roseanne Barr          

Even if they disagree with you, your colleagues are more likely to respect you as a professional if you demonstrate assertiveness (自信) and independent thinking. Respect yourself and your own ideas, and others will respect you in turn.

Intrapreneurs understand that their careers are in their own hands. If they’re unhappy at work or don’t like something about their workplace or responsibilities, they don’t complain about it; they take steps to change it. Being active instead of passive about your goals and personal vision will make you happier - with your job and yourself - in the long run.

Vocal employees are more likely to produce a culture where everyone believes they can contribute to a larger conversation about the company and its future. This is the key to producing a truly collaborative (协作的) culture that fosters loyalty.

Intrapreneurs don’t think of an idea and then shelve (搁置) it because “the boss will never go for it.” They push forward and ensure their ideas have a voice. They also think creatively about finding a way to make the idea fit within an existing initiative or program. Without people who’re willing to go to bat for their ideas, nothing new and innovative is likely to happen.

Wouldn’t you rather be that person?

【推荐2】When trying to make a successful career, which is better: being a generalist or a specialist? Inother words, should you generalize and know a little about a lot of things?    1    .

Natasha Olinger, a human resource expert, talks about the benefits of both. She said Generally speaking, the common wisdom is that it's always better to specialize and then you can demand a higher salary.

To explain her idea, linger uses a fairly commons situation-choosing a restaurant     2    .

If you go to a restaurant that only serves sushi, you can expect high quality products, and you also should expect to pay more. If you go to a place that serves sushi, tacos and pizza, the quality of the sushi may not be so great, but the prices will probably be lower.     3    .However, she adds that all is not perfect in the world of the specialist. If there is a drop in economy, a generalist may get more job offers.

Olinger suggests thinking about the size and type of business you would like to work for.    4    .

Also, companies that are just getting started often need people who are able to perform many different tasks. For example, your job description may be that of a graphic designer, but you may also have to do some writing, Larger companies can be just the opposite. They often need specialists-experts in a given field But perhaps the best solution is a mix of generalization and specialization.     5     . The top of the T would be the generalized part. The upright stem of the T would be the deeper understanding of a person's general knowledge-their expertise

A.Or should we combine these two with each other?
B.Some career planners call this a "t-shaped" career
C.Say you want to eat a favorite Japanese meal: sushi.
D.Olinger says the world of work is not all that different
E.Small businesses often need people who can do many things
F.Olinger also warns that the world of work is more complex than this
G.Or should you specialize and have a deep understanding of only one area

文章大意:本文为一篇说明文。文章针对通常看法“需提升劳动人口技能以应对自动化浪潮”指出,现实中技能提升的机会往往向高学历者倾斜,应为真正面临危机的低学历者提供再培训机会。

【推荐3】In the fog of uncertainty about how new technology will change the way we work, policymakers around the world have flocked to the same idea. No matter what the future brings, they say confidently, we will need to upskill the workforce in order to cope.

The view sounds reassuringly sensible. If computers are growing smarter, humans will need to learn to use them to humans’ advantage. Otherwise, they may run the risk of being replaced by computers.     1     .

Research published by the Social Mobility Commission shows that workers with degrees are over three times more likely to participate in training as adults than workers with no qualifications. That creates a virtuous circle for those who did well at school, and vicious circle for those who did not. If the robots are coming for both the accountants and the taxi drivers, you can bet the bean counters will be more able to retrain themselves out of danger.

    2     In the UK, the government introduced an “apprenticeship levy” a few years ago in an attempt to force employers to spend more on training. A surprising number have responded by sending their senior managers on “apprenticeships” at business schools.

It is no good criticizing employers for directing investments at their highly skilled workers. They are simply aiming for the highest return they can get. And, for some types of lower-paid work, it is not always true that technological progress requires more skills. The UK’s latest Employment and Skills Survey, which is performed every five years, suggests the use of literacy and numeracy skills at work has fallen since 2012, even as the use of computers has increased. The trouble is, when the computer makes your job easier one day, it might make it unnecessary the next. Many of those affected by automation will need to switch occupations, or even industries.     3    

It is time to revisit older ideas. The UK once had an energetic culture of night schools, for adults to attend after their day jobs. These institutions have been disappearing due to funding cuts. But a revival of night schools could be exactly what the 21st century needs.     4     They can also explore interests they never had a chance to nurture before.

It is still not clear whether the impact of new technology on the labour market will come in a trickle or aflood. But in an already unequal world, continuing to reserve all the lifeboats for the better-off would be a dangerous mistake.

A.Employers also invest more in better educated workers by launching employer-sponsored cmployee education programs.
B.According to an Oxford University study, nowadays employers are more likely to hire the first-year apprentices.
C.Rather than just “upskilling” in a narrow way, people could choose to learn an entirely new skill or trade.
D.But the truth is, the people who are being “upskilled” in today’s economy are the ones who need it the least.
E.People can effectively train or upskill themselves to meet their specific professional needs.
F.But a retailer or warehouse company is not going to retrain its staff to help them move to a different sector.
