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
