English Town, guida interattiva dedicata a quanti sono alla ricerca di un’opportunità professionale all’estero.
Scrivere un curriculum conciso ed efficace, essere preparati a rispondere a domande sull’azienda e sulla propria personalità durante un colloquio di lavoro, mostrare proattività e orientamento al risultato, avere un atteggiamento positivo e ispirare fiducia. Sono alcuni fra gli accorgimenti che English Town ha raccolto in una guida, intitolata “Get ahead in your career”, dedicata all’avanzamento di carriera in un contesto lavorativo internazionale.
Nel momento in cui in Italia, nel terzo trimestre del 2013, il tasso di disoccupazione ha superato il 12% e il numero delle persone che non cercano più lavoro ha toccato la cifra record di 2 milioni, diventa sempre più importante saper valorizzare le proprie competenze in un contesto lavorativo internazionale.
Secondo il Rapporto Italiani nel Mondo 2013 curato dalla Fondazione Migrantes sono cresciuti del 3,1% rispetto al 2012 ( +5,5% rispetto al 2011) gli italiani residenti all’estero iscritti all’Aire (l’anagrafe loro riservata) il 1° gennaio 2013: sono 4.341.156, il 7,3% dei circa 60 milioni di italiani residenti in Italia, 132.179 iscrizioni in più rispetto al 2012. La maggior parte di essi risiede in Europa (2.364.263, il 54,5% del totale), seguita dall’America (1.738.831, il 40,1% del totale) e, a distanza, da Oceania (136.682, il 3,1%), Africa (56.583, l’1,3%) e Asia (44.797, l’1%).
In tale scenario nasce l’iniziativa firmata da English Town, il portale EF dedicato alla conoscenza della lingua inglese, che ha realizzato una guida interattiva disponibile gratuitamente http://www.englishtown.com/
“Get ahead in your career” offre input e consigli per l’avanzamento di carriera in un contesto lavorativo internazionale, partendo dalla creazione di un cv efficace fino a svelare i trucchi per un colloquio brillante, il tutto fruibile direttamente online in un click.
Secondo quanto riportato nella guida, accanto al possesso iniziale di ottime competenze teorico-pratiche, in un ambiente di lavoro internazionale per avanzare di carriera è necessario saper esprimere correttamente in inglese la capacità di prendere l’iniziativa, di essere diversi dalla massa, di sentirsi parte di una squadra, di lavorare con entusiasmo, di essere in grado di raggiungere gli obiettivi preposti.

Holiday Cheer to Your Colleagues
1. Decorate a mailbox
Nothing says good morning like some cheap silver garland surrounding a newsletter. Throw in some twinkly lights and it's like the South Pole right there in your own front office.
2. Hire the school choir to go sing a carol for your person
Do it during the class period in which you know the person needs it the most.
3. Ask another staff member to take over your person's duty for a day
Make sure they don't let on that the request came from you.
4. Have a student act as elf and deliver a cup of good coffee to your person
Make sure you choose a kid who won't bust you as the Santa! Kids love to be in on the joke, so maybe even rotate the job if you do it all week long. Give different kids the opportunity to make a teacher smile.
5. Bestow a gift certificate for a foot massage
I'm not kidding. Get a certificate from a place that specializes in feet. We are on our feet all day, and they take a beating. They can use the TLC.
6. Present a gift certificate for a dinner delivery service
After all, some teachers are at school so long, that preparing their own family dinner during the holidays seems as mythical as a snowman brought to life by a top hat.
7. Pack a surprise picnic lunch for a fellow teacher
Nothing fancy. It just takes a little pre-planning and an elf to get the teacher out of their room so you can set it up fast.
8. A week of rain days? Give your person a get-out-0f-rainy-day-free pass for February
It's the shortest month, but when stuck inside all day, it can feel like the longest. Have their students pack into your room for a lunch period so that your secret Santa can have a student-free moment.
9. Give 'em classroom library luxury items
I'm a huge proponent of the every-content-area-teacher-should-have-a-classroom-library. Let them show some pride, and get your teacher an inexpensive book embosser or book plates; it's a little bling for the books.
10. Or, better yet, just write a note of appreciation: one teacher to another
Acknowledge your colleague's accomplishments, what you respect about them, their attitude, even in the face of struggles. Let them know you see how they are influencing others around them. While we could all use a pay raise, the fact is that a little note from someone who knows what they are going through goes a long way to enriching the heart.
