1. MODULE 1. LOOKING FOR A JOB IS A FULL­TIME JOB
Noun modifiers
Let’s remember the order of adjectives and nouns in English. Look at the
following examples:
A VIVACIOUS AND OUTGOING PERSONALITY.
A QUICK AND EFFICIENT MANNER.
A DIPLOMATIC, CONFIDENT, AND HARDWORKING PERSON.
HIGH LEVEL OF PROFICIENCY.
What similarities can you see among the previous examples and the following
sentences?
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER.
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.
APPLICATION FORM.
CONTACT INFORMATION.
POSITION REQUIREMENTS.
JOB OFFER.
You know the answer, right? It is the order: Normally, all noun modifiers (nouns
or adjectives) go before the noun they modify.
Now, look at the following examples:
NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER.
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES EMPLOYER.
THE HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT.

2. Here, modifiers are a little bit more complicated, but the important thing is that
they go just before the noun they modify. For example: “Equal” modifies
“opportunities” and “equal opportunities” modifies “Employer”.
