OUR SUBTITLES 🔡
We try to translate our subtitles into English in the most literal way possible, without losing the meaning. While it may not always produce the best-sounding translation, we hope you find this helpful as it should reduce the need for a dictionary or grammar book to understand every sentence.

00:17What do you work?
00:18We are medical.
00:20I work in an architecture department.
00:24I am architect.
00:25Before I was working in Barcelona, but now I do not work.
00:29I am in cooking.
00:31I am a retired.
00:33What do you work before?
00:35Profesor.
00:36I work in a medical device company.
00:39I am in research and development.
00:42I work with Cruz Roja.
00:44What? Cruz Roja.
00:47What do you work?
00:48Here, cutting streets.
00:50Here, in a clothing store.
00:51What do you work for?
00:52I have a store for the home.
00:58I am a TV.
01:00I am a TV.
01:00And I also.
01:02I am a teacher.
01:04I am a teacher.
01:05I am a teacher.
01:06I am a teacher.
01:08Can you explain a little bit about what it is?
01:10It is a secondo system.
01:13I have a photo for the family and it is a doctor.
01:18I am a teacher.
01:25I am a teacher.
01:27My work is in quirófano, where I prepare patients to be able to support a surgery.
01:35Encargar establishment, atender, cobrar, reponer.
01:41I have a complete day, I work in an institute that we are not only post-obligatory,
01:46we are training courses of middle and superior grade.
01:50My work is a company that already vends medical devices for the heart,
01:55and I am in IMASD, so we develop new devices.
01:59I work in the sport, especially football and baloncesto,
02:04doing the analysis of football and football games.
02:13I work in the hospital and atender patients with abdominal pain and back pain.
02:21Things like that.
02:23How long have you worked in this store?
02:2614 years.
02:28Now it's about 3,5 years, I would say.
02:312 years, more or less.
02:33I started in June, I started working in summer.
02:38I left it and then came back to now.
02:41How long have you worked as a professor?
02:51How long have you worked as a professor?
02:55In teaching, I was 40 years old.
03:04What skills do you think are necessary to do your work?
03:10In my case, to speak a lot with people, listen to them a lot,
03:15be very empathetic, share their concerns, and then, of course,
03:20try to study a lot to try and cure them.
03:25How can you learn?
03:29I know, to help and deliver, to motivate the personnel.
03:32To have a easy job for socialize.
03:34I think to a person introverted, it would be much easier to work.
03:38A capacity to sintonize with students, above all.
03:42Is that clear?
03:43I want to be a psychologist, so I want to listen to people, be sociable.
03:48I think it's important to be empathy because you are daily with the same people as you,
03:54and therefore the proximity and empathy towards others.
03:58Obviously there is a part of training that you are giving,
04:02you have to have some knowledge for it, and many communicative skills.
04:09My work is very versatile, so it's not just a computer or manual, but there is a little bit of
04:16everything.
04:17Well, to have patience, because there are a lot of things happen,
04:19to have a lot of people, because they ask about everything, to speak, to be nice.
04:32If you want to continue improving your Spanish,
04:34if you want to work in Spain, or in any other Spanish Spanish country,
04:39we recommend joining us to the community of Easy Spanish,
04:43because you will find sessions of conversation daily.
04:49Wait, Sarah, did you have sessions daily?
04:52All the days?
04:54All the days.
04:57You can improve your oral understanding, your auditory understanding.
05:03We will leave all the information in the description.
05:08How did you get this job?
05:10Well, for Infojobs.
05:12I was at the INEM, and I did my first job as demand.
05:17I was at the end of my first job.
05:19And then, four days, I came out of the office, I was invited, I interviewed, and they hired me.
05:25First, the career, I was studying six years, which this was a bit of a bit of a bit of
05:29a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit
05:33of a bit of a bit.
05:37There was a bit of a bit of a bit of an intervals, in the Monday of the 4th, in
05:39a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of an interview.
05:45So I went to work interview, I passed the whole process and they took me.
05:51But I also got a friend, a friend of mine, he was looking for someone for the job.
05:57Could you explain what is the INEUM for the people who don't know?
06:01It's an office of employment, basically.
06:04You go and if you're working, if you're not working, you're going to be a demand for employment.
06:13This means that you're going to give a link, basically, in which you enter.
06:17And you can take your curriculum, basically.
06:20You present yourself as a person, professionally.
06:23The search process was difficult to find this job.
06:29In this aspect, I would say that not too much,
06:33because the Department of Education of the Generalitat
06:36has a specific box for teachers,
06:39that if you apply certain requirements, you have the welcome.
06:43And then you form a part of what number of courses you have
06:47so that you can call and do substitutions.
06:51No, it was quite easy.
06:53Because at that time, it was a beginning for a weekend,
06:56but then, if you were doing well, they took me.
06:59Yes, at that time it was difficult, because there was no much work.
07:02And at that time it was costing me.
07:04In my area, in particular, I think that yes,
07:09but for the practice and so, it's quite easy.
07:15But once you finish, if you don't stay in the same place,
07:20it's quite difficult.
07:22It's always complicated, because it's a sector that is not very massive.
07:30I mean, it's for clients very concrete.
07:33Well, I have to say that, the truth, for nothing,
07:35because it was the first company that contacted me
07:38and, at the end, it was the one I decided to leave.
07:40If you had to look for a new job,
07:46what advice would you give after having this experience?
07:53Well, to look for something that you really like.
07:56To do something that you don't like all the time,
07:58I don't recommend it.
08:00To be the same as I am.
08:01I know that I have some qualities, I have some competencies
08:03that are very apt to many places of work,
08:07but I think, really, it's better to be yourself
08:09and not to look for something that you don't do.
08:11Well, first, that it's a very complicated moment,
08:13that you should be respectful of everything you need
08:15and if you have a day where you're low,
08:18then you should be respectful,
08:19because, in the end, it's a very complicated situation.
08:21Well, I don't know,
08:23it's open to everything,
08:24let's not close the doors to you if you want to learn all the time.
08:27So above all,
08:29salir to the street,
08:30relacionarse with people,
08:31because, in the end,
08:34it's the way to get opportunities
08:37opportunities, and enthusiasm for things, and at the end, you arrive, you know?
08:42To get good at the person that you are interviewing, and basically that,
08:47not to paint something that you are not, but it's true that, well, a bit of formality,
08:51to dress well.
08:52What will be your next job?
08:54Uy, the truth is that I don't know. It's something that I haven't thought yet.
09:02I really don't know the next one, but I know what I want to stay,
09:06as for all my life, which is psychology, to be a psychologist.
09:10I'm doing a middle degree, more than anything, to go to university, and that's it, to be a psychologist.
09:15Would you like to work outside?
09:18No, I don't know if in a year or so, but surely it will be in the same field,
09:22because I like it, so it will be something like that.
09:25Periodism, for example, would you like to be in radio or television?
09:30Would you like to be actor?
09:31Maybe in something like a restauration, I'm thinking about it, yes, yes.
09:35I think I'm going to jubilar as a professor.
09:38Yes?
09:38Yes, I love it.
09:39Yes, yes, I just have to approve some oppositions, so that with more reason,
09:44it will be my place, I'm sure.
09:45And now it's to you, let us know in the comments how you found your work,
09:51and if you would give us some advice for looking at work more easily.
09:57Also, if you want to talk a little bit about this vocabulario,
10:02about the professions, we have a video that I recorded for the first time with Easy Spanish,
10:09about professions, where we asked if it was the work of your dreams,
10:15in which consist of your work, and it's been three years ago.
10:20Nothing more, don't forget to subscribe to our channel,
10:24and we'll see you next time.
10:26Adios.
10:26.
