    Job Hunt in English Part II

    English is an essential career booster in Argentina. A casual glimpse at job descriptions online demand some level of English.

    In our second installment of Job Hunt English, we provide you the essential vocabulary below:

    supervisor - your superior in a company

    achievement - an accomplishment, a goal that has been attained

    attitude - your disposition, how you approach life - do you have a positive or negative attitude?

    gaps - time period between jobs - make sure you can explain any gaps - were you out of work, traveling, studying, etc?

    extracurricular activities - things/activities done on your free time (hobbies, etc)

    job offer - when the company wants to hire you, they offer you the job and a figure for compensation

    benefits - these are "extras" an employer offers in addition to your salary
