Slideshow – Just the job Are you confused about your career? Don’t know what to do? Well, here are some ideas. Some of them are a little bit unusual … Do you enjoy working in a team? Are you good with food? Well, perhaps you could work as a chef … … on a submarine …! Paulo is a submarine chef. He cooks for 100 of his colleagues, three times a day. His food is healthy and delicious! It’s very tiring, and submarines are cramped and smelly. But, submarine chefs are well paid, and they have long holidays. So, what do you think? Is submarine chef the job for you? Not sure? OK, who’s next …? Meet Oya. She’s a window cleaner. She works outdoors, and she keeps fit and healthy at work. She’s also very good with heights! Her team works on skyscrapers. Her team spends most days hundreds of metres above the ground. It’s very dangerous, so they are very careful about safety. But, it’s a fun job. The money is fine and the views are great. And there are always plenty of dirty windows. For example, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai has more than 24 thousand windows! There’s always lots of work to do. So, skyscraper window cleaner? What do you think? … Not for you? OK, what’s next …? Do you dream of working in Hollywood? No good at drama? Well, don’t give up yet … This is Marko. He works on sound effects. He’s a Foley artist. He makes the sounds for movies in a recording studio. His team uses fruit and vegetables, pots and pans, bats and balls – anything to get the sound just right. Foley artists are very creative, and have great imaginations. They are well paid, and they meet lots of famous actors at film premieres. What a great life! Not for you? OK … Are you good with computers? Do you like solving problems? Well, meet Jun. He’s an ethical hacker. That is, he’s an ICT specialist with a big company. He tests and improves online security. Every day, he works on difficult problems.
