3. Angry Upset Happy

4. The answer was upset as it shows a sad face with a tear
coming off of the eye. To be able to use these effectively is
important as it can make the difference between two
different meanings of a sentence. To an employer, this can
make you seem like you have good English skills if you can
fit an emoticon into the right place.
But that was an easy one, time for something a little more
challenging.

6. You must look as though your interested while you are in
an interview otherwise you won’t get the job because of the
way you were sitting. This can make the difference
between looking interested and looking like you can’t be

switch between body languages is a good skill as it can
show that you know what you’re doing and can manipulate
the employer’s thoughts of what you are like.

7. Simmultanously Simultaneously Simultaneousely

8. The correct spelling was ‘simultaneously’ while most people
spell it with a double ‘M’. This is important as if you spell
the simplest of words wrong, you aren’t likely to get a job
as you will appear to be unintelligent. If you are good at
spelling then you will have passed the first test of the
employers as they will be doing everything they can to
select one person for the job and you aren’t the only one
applying for the job.
Time to move on from spelling.

attention, the best way is to involve the audience as

attention on what you say. It is important to keep an
audience’s attention as it can mean that you will be able to
get your point across better than you would if you didn’t as
they will be listening if you have their attention.

is a handy skill if you can lip read but don’t worry if you
can’t, it isn’t something that people can pick up on very
easily but if it is, then you will be praised well for it.

should you reply?
Instantly After a few seconds In a minute or two

or if you want to put a word in about something. You can
be forgiven for a few seconds, but only if you say
something along the lines of: ‘erm, let me think about that
for a second’. This can show others that you think quickly
and can come up with solutions to problems within an
instant. It is a very useful skill especially if you work in a
job where you fix stuff.

that you understand what they are talking
about without talking?
Look down Nod Turn around

have to stop talking if they plan on continuing. It is
important to know when to nod as, for example, it can
make someone know that you know what they are going
on about so the conversation can continue without it
stopping for you to say: ‘I understand entirely, please
carry on good sir’.
Time for a challenge.

21. Question 10: Is it better to use the more
complex words over shorter words when
presenting work?
Yes A Bit No

22. Correct!
You should try using longer words when appropriate as if
you use too many it can often confuse people and they
will not understand, but if you don’t use enough, you will
bore people into not paying attention to what you say. It is
important to avoid confusing people with long words and
patronise others with short words as this can lead
someone to avoid talking to you as you wouldn’t be able
to get your opinion across without insulting them in some
way.

confuse people when they know that what you are talking
about is wrong, therefore people will just be correcting
you instead of listening to you. It is important to be
accurate with any information you give as no one will
take you seriously if you look on the internet for your
answers and always pick out the wrong information to
use.

confused with other words when
spoken?
Assistance Whether Read

26. Correct!
Assistance is confused as it is used closely with ‘assistants’
which can confuse people when they say ‘can I have
some assistance/assistants’. It is important to be clear on
what you say as people might get confused with what
you say and do something that you asked them to but
may inadvertently do it wrong.
Time to really test you!

effects on your work. If you send a letter which hasn’t
