How Not to Succeed in Your Job
Many magazines have articles on how to be a success, but here at Business Monthly,
the Magazine for Busy Businesspeople, we thought it would be helpful if our readers
knew how to fail.
Step One: Don't come to work on time. If you want to fail at work, then don't be on
time. Punctuality, or being where you should when you should, is a common trait of
successful people. If you don't want to succeed, be late for all your appointments.
Step Two: Don't ask questions. Successful people often try to learn what they don't
already know. They ask questions if they are unsure of a situation or a procedure. If
you want to fail, make sure you keep your questions to yourself.
Step Three: Never learn new things. In order to get ahead in your career, it is
necessary to keep yourself updated on current information in your field. Information
changes quickly; if you want to be left behind, then don't keep up with the changes.
5
Step Four: Don't mind your own business. MYOB, or Mind Your Own Business,
means not getting involved in office gossip. If you talk about others behind their
backs, then you can expect that others are talking about you as well. So, if you want to
fail, stick your nose where it does not belong.
1. According to the article, what does punctuality mean?
A. Having good punctuation when writing
B. Being where you should
C. Being successful
D. Being where you should, when you should
2. According to this article, what is true about successful people?
A. They are late, don’t ask questions, and never learn new things
B. They are late, don’t ask questions, and try to learn new things
C. They are late, ask questions, and try to learn new things
D. They aren’t late, ask questions, and try to learn new things
3. What does MYOB mean?
A. That you should study about business in school
B. That you should not get involved in office gossip
C. That you should prepare to own your own business
D. That you should talk a lot about other people
4. What are the steps of failure?
A. Being late, not asking anything, gossiping, and not learning
B. Being late, asking questions, talking about others, and not learning
C. Being punctual, not asking questions, questions, gossiping, and not learning
D. Being late, not asking questions, not learning, and not gossiping

Purchases of Athletic Footwear
In recent years, the market for women's athletic goods has been growing rapidly. This
long-neglected sector of the sportswear market is now one of our leading sources of
income, surpassing sales of children's goods, and while it is not yet equal to sales of
men's goods, it is fast approaching similar levels of sales.
This table shows the amount of money spent on women's athletic footwear from 1994
to 2004. For the purposes of this chart, athletic footwear is defined as footwear made
for sports and fitness activities. This includes regular sneakers as well as "functional"
shoes such as running shoes, tennis shoes, aerobics shoes, and basketball boots.

1996 $1.45
1998 $2.37
2000 $3.55
2002 $4.69
2004 $4.68
A customer questionnaire was included with each pair of athletic shoes sold in 2004.
Although not every questionnaire was filled out and returned, a significant number of
these forms were submitted. According to the results of the questionnaire, the average
woman buys one pair of athletic shoes per year, and uses them for fitness activities
such as walking, jogging, or cycling. The majority of respondents indicated that they
chose our particular brand for the following reasons: attractive style and design,
comfort, and affordability. A few respondents did express regret that the range of
athletic shoes for women is much smaller than that for men, and that they would like
to have a greater choice of styles and colors.
1. What does this table show?
A. The amount women spent on exercise between 1994 and 2004
B. The number of women who joined health clubs from 1994 – 2004

families

C. There is no trend
D. Spending has quadrupled in a decade
3. Which of the following can be concluded from this table?

Hi Peter,
Attached is a draft of the agenda for next week's meeting. I'd like to make a few small
changes. First, Roberta won't be available since she's leaving for an extended trip to
the West Coast day after tomorrow. I was hoping you could take her spot since you
know a lot about the subject. I also thought that Ivan should be given a little more time
since he will probably have a lot of information to present. I thought we should give
him 45 minutes to talk. Then we could still break for lunch at a reasonable hour. I hope
these changes meet with your approval. Oh, one more thing: Conference Room 3 won't
be available as it turns out, so I've reserved the Board Room instead. I don't think
anyone will object to that! I think that's all.

Dear Mr. Marcus,
I am interested in applying for a position in the Marketing Department of Findlay
Manufacturing Company. I recently graduated from the university with a degree in
sales and marketing. My job experience includes working as an assistant at a local
import-export firm. I worked at this job for three summers in a row while I was
completing my university degree. Although I don't have any direct experience
working in marketing, I took several university courses in this area, and I got high
grades in all my classes. I am enclosing my resume and can provide you with letters of
recommendation from my professors as well as from my supervisor at the import-
export firm. I am particularly interested in market research. However, I would be
happy to consider any available positions you may have in your department. I look
forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Myra Collins

Dear Ms. Collins,
Thank you very much for your letter inquiring about positions at our company. Your
academic record is impressive, as is your enthusiasm for your future career. I
appreciate your interest in working for Findlay Manufacturing. Unfortunately, we
don't have any openings in our department for someone with your limited work
history. The research work in which you expressed an interest requires a minimum of
three years, experience in the field. Other positions in our department would require
something similar. I suggest that you spend some time gaining some practice in your
chosen field. One way to do this would be to get a position as an intern. While you
would not be paid for this type of position, it would help you get the experience you
need. My colleague, Ms. Richardson is currently looking for interns to help out in the
Marketing Department at her company. With your permission, I would like to forward
the information you sent me to her office. Then she would be in touch with you about
an internship with her company. Please let me know if this would work for you.
Again, thank you for your interest in Findlay, and I wish you all the best of luck.
Sincerely,
Edmund P. Marcus
