hi everybody and welcome back to top

words my name is Alisha and today we’re

going to talk about ten

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 -

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 the 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

coworkers 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 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

whoever they like you the next phase is

usually an offer and offer a job offer

so we would say 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 doughnut 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 sew 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

the 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 8 o’clock it’s okay

you can use that as well I would say I

start work every day at 8 o’clock I

start my job every day at 8 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 prime

Oshin a promotion means essentially like

to level up at work to go to the next

level in terms of money in terms of

responsibilities in terms of prestige

prestige means like kind of like the

respect or the yeah like the respect of

a position so to get a promotion is

usually seen as a positive thing and 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 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 well now that

I think about it though promotion feels

really kind of more about the job title

the job or a 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 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 moving

meaning to go down promote dimo promote

diamond

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 too quite it

is not too quite it is to quit to quit

there’s that tall

I sound quit sounds like bit or kit or

MIT 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 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 want to

stop working in 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

it is not your choice to leave your job

but your employers choice or your

managers 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 the 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 and

applying for jobs and maybe even

applying for universities to some degree
