    11 Working life

    A Emily In my mid-twenties I joined the staff of a language school. The pay


    wasn’t brilliant but I could make a living1 and there were many
    aspects of the job that I enjoyed. The other members of staff were
    nice and I enjoyed teaching the students. A few years later, after
    returning from maternity leave, I decided to go part-time. Luckily
    I was able to do a job-share2 with another woman who had a small
    child. Then the school began to go through a difficult period and had
    to lay off staff3. I decided to go freelance4. I had managed to build
    up a network of contacts and this gave me a good start. I soon had a
    substantial volume of work – private students and marking exams –
    and was able to earn a good living.

    Common mistakes
    People usually do work, NOT make work. If we talk about people making work, it means that they
    create work for other people to do, e.g. A baby makes a lot of work for its parents – but it’s worth it.

    B BEn After graduating, I practised medicine1 for a number of years in


    London. I managed to carve a niche for myself2 as a specialist in
    dermatology. Then I realised I needed some fresh challenges and so
    I did a job swap for a year with my opposite number3 in a clinic in
    Vancouver. When I returned, I went back to my old job and also took
    up the post4 of editor of a leading medical journal. I held that position
    for a number of years. I’m now hoping to go abroad again and so am
    letting everyone know that I am open to offers.

    C Julia After graduating in economics, I did the usual thing of putting


    together my CV1 and applying for jobs. I got a very tempting offer
    from an investment bank and accepted it. I was put on a fast-track
    scheme2 and was moving up the ladder3 fast. However, one day I had
    a change of heart4. I realised I’d stopped enjoying the excitement. I
    felt I needed to get my priorities right5. I decided that other aspects
    of my life should take priority over6 my work. I handed in my
    resignation and moved to the country.

    Common mistakes
    We say someone is under a lot of / considerable pressure, NOT under high pressure.
