Around the world, there are some jobs that may seem quite strange and surprising to you.
A. Train pushers
In Japan, the railway system is huge and everyone there uses trains. This makes them overcrowded
most of the time. During rush hour, railway station attendants called 'pushers' or 'oshiya' do the strangest
job in the world - they push passengers into trains. They have to do this because of the large number of
commuters who wish to arrive at their desired locations on time. That's why they must endure the pain
in squeezing themselves inside the train.
B. Cleaners of the world's highest building
Have you ever wondered how the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa, in Dubai, is cleaned? It takes a
team of 36 window cleaners a total of three months to clean the tower's reflective windows. Working
from the height of more than 800 metres, the cleaners face huge challenges especially during bad
weather. They must be the bravest cleaners in the world.
C. Golf balls divers
Every year in the UK, millions of golf balls get lost in the water around golf courses. This gave rise to
the demand for golf ball divers whose job is to dive deep into the lakes and ponds around golf courses to
find the lost balls. Most of them are professional scuba divers, but they spend long hours crawling
around in mud and carrying heavy buckets. On average, they find 5,000 balls per lake. After cleaning
them, they resell or recycle the balls. Sounds dangerous, doesn't it?

If you're currently in secondary school, you may be interested in getting a job during your
summer break. Here is some useful advice for you.
Firstly, you should find out when your school will close for the summer. Then you should plan to
apply for jobs two to three months before the start of your summer break. This can help ensure that you
have a job already lined up when summer arrives. After that, you need to learn about the types of jobs
that are available. For example, find out whether there are full-time or part-time jobs, and whether they
require previous experience or training so that you can feel confident about applying.
Secondly, you should prepare an application letter for the job you want to apply for. In the letter,
you should explain why you want the job and provide more details about the experience or skills listed
on your CV. You may have to change each application letter for every specific job to increase your
chances of moving further in the hiring process. For example, your application letter for a shop assistant
may highlight different qualifications than the one for a home tutor to a young child.
Lastly, you should prepare for the job interview. If employers are interested in hiring you, they
may ask you for an interview. Before the interview, prepare for some questions that the interviewer is
likely to ask you, such as why you want the position and what relevant skills you have. On the day of
the interview, bring printed copies of your CV and application letter in case the employer wants to
review them. You should also wear a professional outfit and try to be positive and friendly during your
interview.
