I know what kind of career I want - my question is, what am I worth?

I really don´t know what kind of salary I shoud expect.

What you have to do is operate as a spy.

Your job is to find out what you´re worth so you don´t under - or overprice yourself once you get into the job world.

worth [vô:&] - cena, hodnota

to find out - kiderít, megtudakol, megállapít

career[kô´riô]

[scholarship [skolôsip] – osztondíj]

what kind of - milyen, mifele

salary [sälôri] - fizetés

advance in salary - fizetési eloleg

operate [opôreit] - pracovat, fungovat, posobit

The best way to do this is:

1. Sign up with the professional organizations that represent your different interests. Many times their monthly newsletters will list job openings and salaries.

many times - sokszor

sign up - leszerzodtet, leszerzodik

interest - érdek, érdeklodes

opening - meguresedett állás

2. Check out the websites of firms that interest you - or of firms that you know in your field (whether you want to work there or not). Many of them have job listings online which list salaries.

check out - vyskúšat, preskúšat

3.Read the classifieds. Newspapers like the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times will give you a good idea of what the going salaries are for the jobs you want.

classified (advesrtisement) - apróhirdetés

going - létezo, fennálló, meno

1. The first time I telecommuted I was doing international work, and needed to work in the evening to call Australia and Asia. When I switched jobs, I asked to telecommute one day a week as a condition of employment -- and they agreed. Unfortunately, in the second case I was very reluctant to tell people about my situation since it was a real "face time" environment.

condition of emloyment - a munkaviszony feltétele

employment history - doterajšia prax

enter emloyement - munkát vállal

employee - alkalmazott

employed - alklamazva van

employable - alkalmazhato

reluctant [ri´laktônt] - neochotný, nem szíves

2. I work as a www coordinator and theres no special point for me to work in an office.

point - lenyeg

no point about it - semmi értelme

3. I have no reason to sit in an office when all my work is computer related. Plus, I own the company so I only had to ask myself for permission.

permission - povolenie

permission denied - povolenie bolo odopreté

deny [di´nai]

4. I would love to telecommute however- I work with bankers who need a lot of personal attention. Our office is moving much further from where we are now and I would like to spend about two days at home working. It would save me time and money.

personal attention - személyes odafigyelés, elovigyázatosság

5. It came naturally. The job was based on assignment, and as long as I met deadlines, there was no problem. I have a better computer at home and most of what I need was available from the Internet. By the way, I am a Graduate research Assistant.

assignment - feladat, megbízás, kijelolés

as long as - ameddig, mindaddig, mig

meet - talakozik, teljesit

graduate - diplomás, egyetemet végzett

[grädjuit]

6. Working at home is quite boring because you don't have the social relationships you have when you work with many colleagues.

boring – unalmas

recover from - zotavit sa

swing of things -

shoot the breeze - szétloni a civodasokat

catch up on workplace happenings - felfuggeszt/felbeszakítania a munkahelyi torteneseket

"Don't wait for some major event in your life to occur before you begin living."

Get ahead at work - Juss elobre a munkaban

I can't remember who first sent me Nancy McDonald's Daily Success Tip. All I know is that I've become addicted to this daily dose of inspiration. It helps me keep my eye on the prize as we develop and grow iVillage. Like many things at iVillage, when one of us likes something we spread the word. Now the Daily Success Tip is available at iVillage. I urge you to sign up. Every friend I've forwarded it to has loved it. I think you will too.
