I typed: training manager financial industry into google and this is what I got. Quite different job descriptions. However, I particularly liked how it was done.
What do you think the job descriptions are for?
Would you post something similar, or vastly different?
These jobs are in Canada, and there is a constant: quite clear and concise, and all the while, they are selling their company to the potential candidates. Which brings me to think that, even though the jobs are demanding – that is not a down point, quite the opposite.
• Do any of these positions attract you?
• Any questions as to vocabulary?
• Can you guess the suggested homework?
Yes! Go ahead and write a job description for your job – and if you are too shy for that – choose a job and write a classified ad for it.
