a) Translate the following passage into Russian paying attention to business vocabulary:
Training and developing employees
New technologies such as word processors, computers, and robots have made it necessary to do more and more training, much of which is quite sophisticated. Today’s forward-thinking organizations are recognizing that people are their most vital resource and an integral part for achieving increased productivity. Therefore, many firms are getting much more involved in continuing education and development programs for their employees. Career development is no longer just a haphazard system of promotions, movies, and occasional training programs. Rather, it is a long-term organization strategy for assisting employees to optimize their skills and advance their education. Training and development include all attempts to improve employee performance through learning.
b) Translate the following passage into English using your active vocabulary:
Основой для отбора работников может быть анкета или представляемое претендентом резюме о его образовании, опыте работы и личных данных.
Следующим этапом процесса найма является собеседование с каждым кандидатом. Задача собеседования – уточнить сведения о квалификации кандидата и получить представления о личности кандидата. Иногда также осуществляют проверку представленных документов и отзывов, а порой проводят медицинское обследование.
Одним из наиболее спорных компонентов процесса найма является тестирование. Тесты используются для выявления способностей, сообразительности, интеллекта, интересов и т.д. Психологическое тестирование проводится в форме письменных ответов на заранее составленные анкеты. Такие тесты помогают оценить общий интеллектуальный уровень, отношение к работе, интересы, способность к управленческой деятельности и личные качества.
