THE CAREER LADDER Getting a job When Paul left school he applied for a job in the accounts department (de afdeling klantenbeheer) of a local engineering company. They gave him a job as a trainee (stagiair). He didn't earn much but got lots of training and was sent on training courses. Moving up Paul worked hard at the company and his prospects (vooruitzichten) looked good. After a year he got a good (pay) raise (loonsverhoging) and after two years he was promoted (werd gepromoveerd). After six years he was in charge of the department with five others under him, under his responsibility/ authority. Leaving the company By the time Paul was 30, however, he decided he wanted a fresh challenge. He was keen to work abroad, so he quit/ resigned (ontslag nemen) from his company and started looking for a new job. After a couple of months he managed to find a job with an international company which involved/included a lot of foreign travel. He was very excited about the new job and at first really enjoyed the travelling, but … Hard times After about six months, Paul started to dislike the constant moving around, and after a year he hated it; he hated living in hotels, and never really made any friends in the new company. Unfortunately his work was not satisfying (bevredigend) either and finally he was fired (ontslaan). After that, Paul found things much more difficult. He was unemployed for over a year. He had to sell his car and move out of his new house. Things were looking bad and in the end Paul had to accept a part-time job on a fruit and vegetable stall in a market. Happier times To his surprise, Paul loved the marker. He made lots of friends and enjoyed working out in the open air. After two years, he took over the stall. Two years later he opened a second stall, and after ten years he had fifteen stalls. Last year Paul retired at the age of 55, a very rich man....
