1 Before reading
- Look at the title. What kind of jobs do you think this text will mention?
- Can you name a job that didn't exist when your parents were your age?
Jobs That Didn't Exist Ten Years Ago
Ten years ago, nobody had heard of a 'drone pilot' or a 'social media manager.' Today these are real careers that thousands of people do every day. Technology is changing so fast that schools cannot always prepare students for jobs that don't exist yet.
Experts say that in the next ten years, we are going to see even more new careers. For example, some companies are already training 'AI trainers,' people who teach computer programs to understand human language better. Other new roles include 'sustainability consultants,' who help businesses reduce waste, and 'virtual event planners,' who organise online conferences and parties.
Not every new job needs a university degree. Many require practical skills, creativity, and the ability to learn quickly. A student who is going to succeed in this changing job market will probably need to update their skills again and again throughout their career.
So what does this mean for students today? It means staying curious, being open to unfamiliar careers, and not worrying too much if a job doesn't have a name yet. The most important skill of all might be the willingness to keep learning.

- What do you think makes someone feel confident in an interview?
Preparing for a Job Interview
Getting ready for a job interview can feel stressful, but a little preparation makes a big difference. Career coaches say the biggest mistake candidates make is not researching the company beforehand. Before any interview, it's a good idea to learn about what the company does and why you want to work there.
On the day of the interview, arriving early is essential. Being even five minutes late can create a bad impression before you say a single word. Most experts suggest arriving at least ten minutes before the appointment, then using that time to relax and review your notes.
During the interview, employers often ask questions like 'Where do you see yourself in five years?' This question isn't about giving a perfect answer; it's about showing that you have thought about your future and that you are going to work hard to reach your goals.
Finally, at the end of the interview, it's polite to thank the interviewer for their time and ask when you will hear back about the decision. A short follow-up message the next day, thanking them again, can leave a positive final impression.

HostWelcome back to Future Talk. Today we're discussing jobs of tomorrow. Ayşe, what do you think will change the most?
AyşeI think healthcare jobs will change a lot. Robots will probably assist doctors during operations, but I don't think they will replace human doctors completely.
HostInteresting. And what about you, Kaan?
KaanI believe green energy jobs are going to grow fast. More companies are going to need engineers who understand solar and wind power.
HostDo you think traditional jobs like teaching will disappear?
AyşeNo, I don't think so. Teachers won't disappear, but I think they'll use more technology in their classrooms.
KaanI agree. Some routine jobs will probably be automated, but jobs that need empathy and creativity will still need real people.
HostGreat predictions. Thanks for joining us today.
