INTERNET JOBS

Contrary to popular belief, one does not have to be a trained programmer to work online. Of course, there are plenty of jobs available for people with high-tech computer skills, but the growth of new media has opened up a wide range of Internet career opportunities requiring only a minimal level of technical expertise. Probably one of the most well-known online job opportunities is the job of Webmaster. However, it is hard to define one basic job description for this position. The qualifications and responsibilities depend on what tasks a particular organization needs a Webmaster to perform.

To specify the job description of a Webmaster, one needs to identify the hardware and software the website the Webmaster will manage is running on. Different types of hardware and software require different skill sets to manage them. Another key factor is whether the website will be running internally or externally (renting shared space on the company servers). Finally, the responsibilities of a webmaster also depend on whether he or she will be working independently, or whether the firm will provide people to help. All of these factors need to be considered before one can create an accurate webmaster job description.

Webmaster is one type of Internet career requiring in-depth knowledge of the latest computer applications. However, there are also online jobs available for which traditional skills remain in high demand. Content jobs require excellent writing skills and a good sense of the web as a “new media’.

The term “new media” is difficult to define because it compasses a constantly growing set of new technologies and skills. Specifically, it includes websites, email, internet technology, CD-ROM, DVD, streaming audio and video, interactive multimedia presentations, e-books, digital music, computer illustration, video games, virtual reality, and computer artistry.

Additionally, many of today’s Internet careers are becoming paid-by-the-job professions. With many companies having to downsize in tough economic items, the outsourcing and contracting of freelance workers online has become common business practice. The Internet provides an infinite pool of buyers from around the world with whom freelancers can contract their services. An added benefit to such online jobs is that freelancers are able to work on projects with companies outside their own country.

How much can a person make in these kinds of careers? As with many questions related to today’s evolving technology, there is no simple answer. There are many companies willing to pay people with Internet skills salaries well over $70,000 a year. Generally, webmasters start at about $30,000 per year, but salaries can vary greatly. Freelance writers working online have been known to make between $40,000 to $70,000 a year.

NGHỀ NGHIỆP INTERNET

Trái ngược với niềm tin phổ biến, người ta không phải cứ được đào tạo là một lập trình viên để làm việc trực tuyến. Tất nhiên, có rất nhiều công việc dành cho những người có kỹ năng sử dụng máy tính công nghệ cao nhưng sự phát triển của các phương tiện truyền thông mới đã mở ra một loạt các cơ hội nghề nghiệp Internet đòi hỏi trình độ kỹ thuật tối thiểu.

Có lẽ một trong những cơ hội việc làm trực tuyến nổi tiếng nhất là công việc của Quản trị Web. Tuy nhiên, thật khó để xác định một mô tả công việc cơ bản cho vị trí này. Các trình độ và trách nhiệm phụ thuộc vào nhiệm vụ mà một tổ chức cụ thể cần một Quản trị viên Web để thực hiện.

Để xác định mô tả công việc của một quản trị viên web, người ta cần xác định phần cứng và phần mềm mà trang web mà quản trị viên trang web sẽ quản lý đang chạy. Các loại phần cứng và phần mềm khác nhau đòi hỏi các bộ kỹ năng khác nhau để quản lý chúng. Một yếu tố quan trọng nữa là liệu trang web đó có đang chạy nội bộ hay bên ngoài (thuê không gian chia sẻ trên các máy chủ của công ty). Cuối cùng, trách nhiệm của một quản trị viên web cũng phụ thuộc vào việc họ sẽ làm việc độc lập hay liệu công ty có cung cấp mọi người giúp đỡ hay không. Tất cả các yếu tố này cần được xem xét trước khi người ta có thể tạo một mô tả công việc quản trị trang web chính xác.

Quản trị Web là một loại nghề nghiệp Internet đòi hỏi kiến thức chuyên sâu về các ứng dụng máy tính mới nhất. Tuy nhiên, cũng có những công việc trực tuyến sẵn sàng cho những kỹ năng truyền thống vẫn có nhu cầu cao. Nội dung công việc yêu cầu kỹ năng viết tuyệt vời và một cảm giác tốt về web như là một "phương  tiện truyền thông mới '.

Thuật ngữ "phương tiện truyền thông mới" rất khó xác định vì nó yêu cầu một bộ công nghệ và kỹ năng mới. Cụ thể, nó bao gồm các trang web, email, công nghệ internet, CD-ROM, DVD, âm thanh và video trực tuyến, các bài thuyết trình đa phương tiện tương tác, sách điện tử, âm nhạc kỹ thuật số, minh hoạ máy tính, trò chơi điện tử, thực tế ảo và nghệ thuật máy tính.

Ngoài ra, nhiều nghề nghiệp Internet ngày nay đang trở thành nghề trả lương theo công việc. Với nhiều công ty phải giảm bớt các khoản kinh tế khó khăn, việc gia công và ký kết hợp đồng lao động tự do trực tuyến đã trở thành thực tiễn kinh doanh phổ biến. Internet cung cấp một lượng lớn người mua từ khắp nơi trên thế giới mà những người tự do có thể ký hợp đồng dịch vụ của họ. Một lợi ích bổ sung cho các công việc trực tuyến như vậy là các dịch giả tự do có thể làm việc với các dự án với các công ty bên ngoài nước mình.

Một người có thể kiếm được bao nhiêu trong những loại nghề này? Cũng như nhiều câu hỏi liên quan đến công nghệ phát triển ngày nay, không có câu trả lời đơn giản. Có rất nhiều công ty sẵn sàng trả lương cho những người có kỹ năng Internet trên 70.000 đô la một năm. Nói chung, các quản trị web bắt đầu với khoảng $ 30,000 mỗi năm, nhưng mức lương có thể thay đổi rất nhiều. Các tác giả tự do làm việc trực tuyến đã được biết đến từ 40.000 đến 70.000 đô la một năm.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

William Sydney Porter (1862-1910), who wrote under the pseudonym of O. Henry, was born in North Carolina. His only formal education was to attend his Aunt Lina’s school until the age of fifteen, where he developed his lifelong love of books. By 1881 he was a licensed pharmacist. However, within a year, on the recommendation of a medical colleague of his Father’s, Porter moved to La Salle County in Texas for two years herding sheep. During this time, Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary was his constant companion, and Porter gained a knowledge of ranch life that he later incorporated into many of his short stories. He then moved to Austin for three years, and during this time the first recorded use of his pseudonym appeared, allegedly derived from his habit of calling “Oh, Henry” to a family cat. In 1887, Porter married Athol Estes. He worked as a draftsman, then as a bank teller for the First National Bank.

 

In 1894 Porter founded his own humor weekly, the “Rolling Stone”, a venture that failed within a year, and later wrote a column for the Houston Daily Post. In the meantime, the First National Bank was examined, and the subsequent indictment of 1886 stated that Porter had embezzled funds. Porter then fled to New Orleans, and later to Honduras, leaving his wife and child in Austin. He returned in 1897 because of his wife’s continued ill-health, however she died six months later. Then, in 1898 Porter was found guilty and sentenced to five years imprisonment in Ohio. At the age of thirty five, he entered prison as a defeated man; he had lost his job, his home, his wife, and finally his freedom. He emerged from prison three years later, reborn as O. Henry, the pseudonym he now used to hide his true identity. He wrote at least twelve stories in jail, and after re-gaining his freedom, went to New York City, where he published more than 300 stories and gained fame as America’s favorite short Story writer. Porter married again in 1907, but after months of poor health, he died in New York City at the age of forty-eight in 1910. O. Henry’s stories have been translated all over the world.
