Question

   You could be jetting off to foreign countries,staying in five-star hotels,eatihg in top-class restaurants,and it's all paid for by your employer. Who wouldn’t want a job that involves foreign travel?

   36 There is a big difference between travelling to Milan as a tourist and travelling there to spend a day in the type of hotel meeting room that can be found anywhere in Europe. Speak to seasoned international business travellers to get an idea of what you will face. Flights can be delayed,things can go wrong and it's easy to get exhausted. 37    Simply targeting any job that involves foreign travel is not the way to start. Making travel your first requirement is not the way to choose a career. 38 Instead,you should consider all the usual factors(因素) ，such as qualifications and experience,and only then choose a sector (行業) or company that offers opportunities for international travel.

   The travel and hotel trades are obvious areas,but the commercial sector also offers chances for travel. In the retail(零售) sector,buyers often travel,especially if they work in fresh produce. Employment in communications,banking and finance,and property management is also worth looking at. 39 The number of jobs involving travel,especially at middle-management level,is growing.

   So what will help you secure a role with an international flavour? 40 A second language is a good indication of how well someone will adapt. You need to show you are flexible and willing to learn. If your company has a sister company in the Czech Republic,for instance,learning some Czech will boost your chances.

   A. But not all employers are like this.

   B. But it's not always as exciting as it sounds.

   C. Many jobs mean travelling alone,so you can be lonely.

   D. They will limit the amount that people travel each year.

   E. Employers look for candidates with an international outlook.

   F. It is as illogical as saying you want a job that involves wearing smart clothes.

   G. Almost any career can mean international travel,if you choose the right company and role.
