A woman thinking about food and clothes.

አሊሻ ሥራ መፈለግ አለባት ምክንያቱም ቤተሰቧ ለምግብ እና ለልብስ ገንዘብ ያስፈልጋቸዋል።

Alisha needs to find a job because her family needs money for food and clothes.


Two women talking to each other.

አሊሻ በትውልድ አገሯ ስራ አልሰራችም፣ ግን ምግብ በማብሰል ጥሩ ነች እና ከሰዎች ጋር ማውራት ትወዳለች።

Alisha did not work in her home country, but she is good at cooking and likes talking to people.


A woman sitting using her laptop.

ምናልባት ምግብ ቤት ውስጥ ልትሰራ ትችል ይሆናል? አሊሻ ድህረ-ገፅ ላይ የተለጠፈ ሥራ ትፈልጋለች።

Maybe she could work in a restaurant? Alisha searches on the Internet for job postings.


A laptop showing a job advert for a chef.

ለሼፍ ማስታወቂያ ታገኛለች። ምግብ ቤት ውስጥ ለሚያበስል ሰው ነው የሚፈልጉት።

She finds an advert for a chef. That is someone who cooks in a restaurant.


A woman talking to a man.

ለስራ ቃለ መጠይቁ ትሄዳለች። የምግብ ቤቱ አስተዳዳሪ እንደ ሼፍ የሰለጠነ ሰው እንደሚፈልጉ ነገሯት።

She goes for the job interview. The restaurant manager tells her they need someone who has trained as a chef.


A woman looking sad.

አሊሻ ተስፋ ቆርጣለች ነገር ግን “ምግብ እና መስተንግዶ” የሚባል ኮርስ ወሰደች። ይህ በአንድ ሬስቶራንት ውስጥ ሥራ እንድታገኝ ይረዳኛል የሚል ተስፋ ኣላት።

Alisha is disappointed, but she takes a course called “Food and hospitality”. She hopes this will help her to get a job in a restaurant.


A woman cooking in a restaurant.

ኣሊሻ የሥልጠና ኮርሷ አካል ሆኖ ሬስቶራንት ውስጥ መሥራት አለባት። የደመወዝ ክፍያ አታገኝም ግን የሥራ ልምድ ታገኛለች።

Alisha has to work in a restaurant as part of her training course. She does not get paid, but she gets work experience.


Someone typing on a laptop.

የትምህርቱን ዝርዝሮች በሲቪዋ ላይ ጨምራለች። ሲቪ የሰራቻቸው ስራዎች እና የወሰደቻቸው ኮርሶች ሁሉ መግለጫ ነው።

She adds the details of the course to her CV. A CV is a description of all the work she has done and all the courses she has taken.


A tired-looking woman.

በሚቀጥለው ጊዜ አሊሻ በአንድ ሬስቶራንት ውስጥ ለስራ ቃለ መጠይቅ ስትሄድ ስራው ይሰጣታል። ከባድ ስራ ነው። ብዙውን ጊዜ ምሽት ላይ ልጆቿ ከትምህርት ቤት ሲመለሱ መሥራት አለባት።

Next time Alisha goes for a job interview at a restaurant, she is offered the job. It is hard work. She often has to work in the evening, when her children are home from school.


A happy-looking woman.

በራሷ ገንዘብ ለቤተሰቧ ምግብና ልብስ መግዛት የሚያስችል ሥራ በማግኘቷ ኩራት ይሰማታል።

She is proud that she has got a job so that she can buy food and clothes for her family with her own money.
