Problems for People Finding Jobs Abroad

在國外尋找工作的困難


Introduction

Many workers from India find it hard to get jobs in other countries. They get many rejections from computers.

許多來自印度的工作者發現很難在其他國家找到工作。他們經常遭到電腦系統拒絕。

Main Body

Some companies say they have remote jobs. But they use computers to check where people live. If a person lives in the wrong place, the computer says no very quickly. The person's skills do not matter.

有些公司聲稱提供遠端工作,但他們會使用電腦來檢查申請人的居住地。如果居住地不符要求,電腦會迅速予以拒絕,而不管申請人的技能如何。

Other people try to find jobs in Germany. One person sent many applications. Only a few companies asked for an interview. Most companies did not answer at all.

其他人嘗試在德國尋找工作。有一位申請者發送了許多申請,但僅有少數公司要求面試,大多數公司完全沒有回應。

Companies do this to save time and money. It is not because the workers are bad. It is because too many people want the same jobs.

公司這樣做是為了節省時間和成本,並非因為工作者能力不足,而是因為太多人在爭奪相同的職位。

Conclusion

Computers and strict rules make it very hard for international workers to get jobs.

電腦篩選與嚴格的規定,讓國際工作者找工作變得非常困難。

Vocabulary Learning

The 'Not' Pattern

In this text, we see how to make a sentence negative. This is a key step for A2 students.

The Rule: To say something is not true, we usually put do not or does not before the action word.

  • The computer says no \rightarrow The computer does not say yes.
  • Companies answer \rightarrow Companies do not answer.

Watch out for the difference:

  1. Do not \rightarrow Used for many people (Companies, Workers).
  2. Does not \rightarrow Used for one thing (The computer, The person).

Example from the story: "Most companies did not answer at all."

(Note: 'Did not' is for the past, but the pattern stays the same!)
