M: Yes. We’ve shared a sales job atSonatech for about two years now。
W: Well, how do you divide up yourschedule?
M: You know we are both salesrepresentatives, and we take orders over the phone. When we startedjob sharing it was difficult, because we both worked all dayMonday. I worked Tuesday and Thursday and Arthur worked Wednesdayand Friday. The problem was that when I was in the office onTuesday. I would talk to people, then they would call back onWednesday with a question. But Arthur couldn’t answer the questionand he couldn’t ask me about it because I wasn’t in the office. Sohe had to ask the people to call me back the next day, Thursday. Ofcourse, they didn’t like to wait until the next day to have theirquestions answered。
W: Yes, that sounds like a problem。
M: So, finally we decided that Arthurwould work in the mornings and I would work in the afternoons. Nowif someone calls with the question for me in the morning, Arthurtells them to call me in the afternoon. This way, people get theirquestions answered the same day。

Education Pays
As is shown in the table, the unemployment rate decreases steadilyas the education level increases. The fact revealed by thestatistics is obvious: graduates with a degree are less likely tobe unemployed.
What has brought about this effect? I believe there are three mainreasons. To begin with, the education level is still the top factorthat employers would take into account when selecting jobcandidates. It is believed that people with a college degree tendto be more intelligent and qualified. In addition, as a result ofgood learning habit formed during college, job hunters with higheducation background are also more efficient in acquiring andprocessing job hunting information. Finally, college educationequips graduates with specialized skills, leading to greaterattachment to the company they are employed and higher possibilityto be reemployed even if they leave their previous company.
In conclusion, it is the qualifications, learning habit andspecialized skills that high education equip a graduate that makeone distinctive in labor market.
