Workdays. A Day in the Life of...a Computer Salesman.
Edwards, Hazel
One of a series of work-based interviews about occupations in Australia, this booklet presents a personal interview with a computer salesman about his job. The following questions are answered: what a computer salesman does, why the person chose the field of employment, how the person found out about the job, what he does and doesn't like about it, what kind of training was needed, what the computer salesman does during a working week, his co-workers, the hours, and how the work contributes to society. Cartoons are used to enliven the material, and a glossary listing 33 words is included. Although designed to be used in literacy classes with adult new readers, the booklets are also appropriate for use with elementary and secondary students in career exploration and career education.
