hi everybody and welcome back to top
words my name is alicia and today we're
going to talk about 10 employment
related words so let's go
to apply for a job
the first expression is to apply for a
job when you apply for a job you do a
job application a job application form
where you have to write your personal
information and then you often have to
submit some other materials your cv or
your resume
and then maybe maybe a photograph to
something like that so to apply for a
job is to
essentially notify the owner or the
manager at the company that you are
interested in that you would like to
work there that is to apply for a job so
in a sentence i applied for a job at
apple
to interview for to have an interview
the next expression is to interview for
something or to have an interview so
after you apply for a job if you pass
the application stage you may be asked
to have an interview so to have an
interview is the stage where you meet
your
prospective maybe meet your potential
future employer or manager or co-workers
and you have a discussion they interview
you they talk to you about your skills
your goals who you are as a person an
interview to have an interview or we can
say to interview for a position so for
example i'm going to interview for a
sales position i'm going to interview
for a teacher position i'm going to
interview for a
baking cake baking position you never
know
you never know cakes need to be baked uh
anyway so if you decide you're going to
apply to be a cake baker you say i'm
going i have
an interview for a cake baker position
in this sentence i got an interview for
a new job
to get an offer
the next expression is to get an offer
to get an offer so after the application
and perhaps after the interview if the
employer or manager or whoever they like
you uh the next phase is usually an
offer and offer a job offer so we would
say uh i got an offer for a job i got an
offer from apple i got an offer for a
management position so we can use offer
for a job to be very general an offer
for a specific position i got an offer
for a
donut
taste tester position
or we can say i got a job offer from
a company i got a job offer from
kleenex
okay there are three different ways that
we can use this expression another
sentence i got a really great job offer
to accept an offer
the next expression is to accept an
offer so when the offer comes you can
choose to accept or decline the offer
accept means yes decline means no so to
accept an offer means to say yes to
agree to work for that position
sorry to agree to work in that position
to agree to work for the company to
agree to do that job which you applied
for to accept an offer in this sentence
are you going to accept the offer from
that company
to start working
the next expression is to start working
so to start working a new job we can use
this to talk about the job your
responsibilities specifically or the
company so i'm going to start working at
apple next week or i'm going to start
working at my new job next week or i'm
going to start working as a sales
management professional next week for
example so to start working is
is an expression that's used for a new
job sometimes people will say like about
their regular schedules like i start
working every day at eight o'clock it's
okay you can use that as well i would
say i start work every day at eight
o'clock i start my job every day at
eight o'clock
but when you join a new company you can
also say i start working for my new
company on monday for example
to get a promotion
the next expression is to get a
promotion to get a promotion a promotion
means essentially like to level up at
work to go to the next level in terms of
money in terms of responsibility in
terms of prestige
um prestige means like kind of like the
respect or the um
the yeah like the respect of a position
so to get a promotion is usually seen as
a positive thing
so if you do a good job in your position
you may get a promotion in this sentence
do you think you'll get a promotion next
year
to get a raise
the next expression is to get a raise to
get a raise is specifically
an increase in your pay an increase in
your pay which may or may not be
accompanied by be together with a
promotion so maybe you get a promotion
and a raise at the same time that could
be or maybe you have the same job
description but you get a raise uh so
it's kind of it's like a type of
promotion really getting getting a raise
is like a type of promotion sort of like
a monetary promotion i guess
now that i think about it though
promotion feels really kind of more
about the job title the job or
responsibility level
and then that may or may not have a
raise attached to it so to get a raise
means to get more money to have a higher
salary higher hourly wage to get a raise
i have heard some people say get a rise
in pay as well but that might be more
common in british english americans say
get a raise in a sentence i hope i get a
raise this year
to demote the next expression is to
demote demote so i talked about the word
to promote or to get a promotion meaning
to go up a level to
increase your responsibilities at your
job but if you have bad performance or
if there is a problem at your job or
something goes awry
something goes bad there's a there's an
issue or you have to take responsibility
for a company problem whatever you have
to go down a level
we say that that's being demoted that
would be to demote someone so we have
promote to go up and demote
meaning to go down promote promotion in
a sentence i heard the manager in the
next department was demoted
to quit
the next expression is to quit to quit
so to quit be careful of your
pronunciation i hear sometimes my
students say to quite my job that's a
funny one to quite it is not too quite
it is to quit to quit there's that tall
eye sound quit
um
sounds like
bit or kit or mitt or
it so to quit a job to quit a job means
to stop working somewhere to finish your
response well maybe not finish your
responsibility it means to stop working
a specific position it means to stop
working at a specific company of course
you can say to quit a job you can also
quit other things in your life for
example like to quit a task on a
computer or to quit dating someone
people could say that to quit
staying up late at night i mean you can
use that for
any number of actions
any action that you want to stop doing
we can use to quit but when you uh want
to stop working at a company the
vocabulary word we use is to quit in
this sentence i think i need to quit my
job
to be fired
oh the next expression is to be fired to
be fired so the previous word to quit is
your own choice you choose to quit a job
to quit something however
if there's a big problem that is your
responsibility or maybe
there's some circumstance something
happens i don't know what but uh it is
not your choice to leave your job but
your employer's choice or your manager's
choice they decide you cannot continue
working here this is the expression to
be fired like i got fired from my job i
was fired from my job to be fired means
to lose your job to be forced to quit
your job is to be fired in this sentence
one of my colleagues was fired last week
so that's the end those are 10
employment related words i hope that
those are helpful for you in applying
for jobs and maybe even applying for
universities to some degree i don't know
