1.)  Read the text and mark the sentences TRUE or FALSE.

After twenty years in employment, many people don´t like going to work in the morning. They want to be truly excited about their jobs. But it´s difficult to change jobs and changing your career is even harder, so take time to do it right.

You´ll need to look at your skills and personal interests. Connecting work to personal interests is the best way to find a satisfying career. What do you really enjoy in your spare time? Is it sailing, gardening? Why do you find these activities enjoyable? Do you like gardening because you can be creative? Is sailing fun because you like visiting new places? It isn´t always a good idea to make your hobbies your career because then you´ll need to find a new hobby, but knowing why you like your hobbies is very important to knowing which career you might enjoy.

When you know the abilities you enjoy using and have decided which field you´d like to work in, it´s time to get practical. Find out all about it. Who are the key companies? After finding potential employers, you can start thinking about possible jobs.

However, it´s very hard to find full-time employment in a completely different line of work. You might need to go to evening classes for extra qualifications for your CV. But employers prefer candidates to have a solid background in the field. You might have to start by working part time or even for free to gain experience.
