here that you are both taking General Business courses and will graduate in June.The field of Business is very broad,so we need to think of your particular strengths and what you do and do not enjoy doing.For example,if either of you likes working with and helping other people you would probably enjoy a career in Human Resources.The responsibility of the Human Resources employee is to,match the person with the position.Recruitment can be done externally when a new employee is brought into the company or internally from within the company,which might involve promotion.The HR department also looks after staff development,welfare,and motivation.In other words,here you try to keep everyone happy.,Now if thats not you and you think you would enjoy the more aggressive side of the business world,there is sales and marketing.There your focus is the customer and convincing him to buy and for this kind of job you need to be tough.And,of course,if you like precision and attention to detail,there is the world of finance.This kind of job includes the many aspects of calculating expenses,profits,revenue,and of course,investment.You are going to have to give this some thought and not only about the jobs themselves,but the kinds of companies where you can work,which will make these jobs vary.In the meantime,I can get you started on the form-filling,CV writing,and tips for interviewing.So shall we begin?,Lesson 3 Filling out forms,In pairs,combine verbs from box A with phrases from box B to form appropriate collocations.Some verbs and phrasesmay be used more than
