Networking for Professionals

LESSON 2 Topic: Skill set Guest Teacher: Dave Sconda Key words & expressions: skill set, build job skills, attention to detail, mentor, rise to the top Series objective: This series will help those preparing to use English in the workplace as well as those already in the workforce. This is NOT traditional Business English (negotiating, presenting, interviewing, etc.) The lessons in this series will help learners gain confidence in talking about work and work-related matters. Target skills of series: listening, speaking, and vocabulary. Levels: intermediate to advanced. NOTE: I’m very sorry to announce as of January 2012 links to EnglishCafe will no longer be active due to the site closing. I was very lucky to be a part of that online community while it lasted. I’m also sorry for the loss of additional materials for learners. TEACHERS: A related classroom activity has been posted on my WordPress blog. englishwithjennifer.wordpress.com Also, consider using the following discussion questions as a post-viewing activity: 1. Do you agree or disagree with Dave’s views on job searches? 2. Do you have a mentor? Have you ever mentored another? 3. Describe your present skill set. MUSIC CREDIT: “Zx5″ by Euglenu.
