- Answer: What do you think about the text? Is it interesting for you? Why? Why
not? Include information that needs to be considered, point out mistakes.
This text is like an instructor, on how to get a job, how to prepare before arriving at a
company in addition to looking for the company of a job, being competent in a particular
function including the skills that one should have as a candidate, I think super interesting
because as a student I want to receive inductions before getting to work on it have a high
critical, purposeful, reflective and constructive sense, with the ability to articulate
disciplinary knowledge in their being and their actions
