Texto nº 1:
Frida´s new job
Less than fifty per cent of the working population in UK has a full time, long term job with a permanent employment contract. People are now attracted to or forced into part-time work, self-employment, temporary employment, job sharing and freelance contracts. And this is happening all over Europe.
The "job for life" is dead. Our parents and grandparents may have found jobs which offered them security and a regular salary, but the whole economic climate has changed. Frida Wells, unemployed, gave up on her teaching career and tells us about her new job:
"I´ve always enjoyed photography and it is something where you learn a lot from experience. I graduated in French and German but I couldn´t find a job as a teacher. I was feeling very frustrated and depressed. My friends thought my pictures were good and encouraged me to try and make a living at it. I started in October and I´m getting confidence and contacts. I have also helped other photographers. At the moment I´m developing my own style so that I can get work doing album covers and magazine photography. I like doing portraits and I enjoy black and white photos, but what I really like best is colour work".
