Kazi #8 – Mafunzo ya Kazi (Swahili)

Task #8 – Job Training (Swahili)

Muktadha: Hatua kubwa ya kuingizwa ni kupata ajira. Huku akisemwa hivyo, Ujuzi wa Lugha ya Kiingereza ni mojawapo ya vizuizi vya kwanza katika kupata kazi – wanajumuisha: kujaza maombi (ona Kichupo cha Mfano – A, maombi ya kazi ya mfano), kushiriki katika mahojiano ya kazi (ona Kichupo B – Msamiati wa Kazi, na Kichupo C – maswali ya mahojiano ya mfano), na kuelewa utamaduni wa kazi nchini Marekani (ona Kichupo D – Darasa la Mafunzo ya Kazi la Huduma za Familia za Lutheran). Mashirika ya uhamishaji wanafanya kazi nzuri kukuelekeza kwenye mchakato huo, lakini wataalamu wa lugha ya Kiingereza wa asili watatoa mazoezi ya Kiingereza unayohitaji kupata kazi. Baadhi ya hatua za kutafuta kazi: Hatua 1: Unda wasifu, Hatua 2: Tafuta na omba kazi, Hatua 3: Jitayarishe kwa mahojiano, Hatua 4: Fanya mahojiano, Hatua 5: Kubali ofa ya kazi, Hatua 6: Kamilisha nyaraka kutoka kwa mwajiri wako mpya, Hatua 7: Anza mafunzo.

Background: A major step to integration is obtaining employment.  With that being said, English Language Skills are one of the first hurdles to getting a job – they include: filling out an application (see sample Tab – A, sample job application), participating in a job interview (see Tab B- Job vocabulary, and Tab C- sample interview questions), and understanding the work culture in the United States (see Tab D – Lutheran Family Services Job training class). Resettlement agencies do a good job in introducing you to the process, but native English-speaking volunteers will provide the English practice you need to get a job. Some job seeking steps: Step 1: Make a resume, Step 2: Search and apply for jobs, Step 3: Practice for your interviews, Step 4: Go to interviews, Step 5: Accept a job offer, Step 6: Complete paperwork from your new employer, Step 7: Start training. 

Kwa ujumla, utahitaji kadi ya Usalama wa Jamii na Hati ya Kibali cha Ajira (EAD) angalia kazi ya kuhamisha #9. Hii inakuruhusu kufanya kazi ndani ya jamii yako. Shirika lako la kuhamisha litakusaidia kupata kadi ya EAD kulingana na hali yako (mkimbizi, mtafutaji wa hifadhi, n.k.).

In general, you will need a Social Security card and an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) see resettlement task #9.  This allows you to work within your community.  Your resettlement agency will help you obtain an EAD card based on your status (refugee, asylum seeker etc.…).  

Onyo: Usinunue Nambari ya Usalama wa Jamii (SSN). Ingawa zinapatikana, SSNs hizi ni haramu. Mtu aliyepatikana na hatia chini ya 42 U.S.C. 408 (a) (7) (B) kwa Uwakilishi wa Uongo wa Nambari ya Usalama wa Jamii anaweza kuhukumiwa kifungo cha hadi miaka 5. Aidha, mshtakiwa anapaswa kufahamu kwamba kukubali kosa la Uwakilishi wa Uongo wa Nambari ya Usalama wa Jamii kunaweza kusababisha kufukuzwa kutoka Marekani katika mahakama ya uhamiaji = KUFUKUZWA.

Warning: Do not buy a Social Security Number (SSN).  While available, these SSNs are illegal.  A person convicted under 42 U.S.C. 408 (a) (7) (B) for False Representation of a Social Security Number is subject to a maximum prison sentence of 5 years. In addition, a Defendant should be aware that any plea to False Representation of a Social Security Number will subject the Defendant to removal from the United States in immigration court = DEPORTATION.
