**Phrases on work**
Most of us talk about our jobs. We tell our family and friends interesting or funny things that have happened in the **workplace** (=room where we do our job), we describe – and sometimes complain about – our **bosses **and **colleagues **and when we meet someone for the first time, we tell them what our jobs are. Here, then, is a selection of English vocabulary to help you to speak about your work.
A **career **is a job or number of jobs of a similar type that a person does over a long period: *I’d always wanted a **career **in teaching./I wasn’t interested in an academic **career***. The word **profession **is used in a similar way, but always refers to work that needs a lot of education and training: *the medical/legal **profession***. Note that ‘profession’ also means _the people who do a particular type of work_: *The medical **profession** is always looking to improve patient care*.
Many work words and phrases refer to the time that we spend working. A **shift **is a period of time that is worked, for example in a factory or hospital: *the **night shift**/a **ten-hour shift***. A **full-time** job is done for the whole of a _working week_, and a **part-time job** involves working only for part of it. Note that ‘full-time’ and ‘part-time’ are adverbs as well as adjectives: *a **full-/part-time job**/She works **full-/part-time***. **Overtime**, meanwhile, _refers to time spent working after the usual time expected for the job_. It is both an adverb and a noun: *Anything over 40 hours is **overtime**./We had to work **overtime** to get the job finished*. People who work more hours than most people may be said **to work long hours**. People who work **unsocial hours** work during a time when most people do not have to work, usually the night: *doctors who work **unsocial** hours*. Your **workload **is the amount of work that you have to do: *As a family doctor, he has a very **heavy workload***. Meanwhile, the **work-life balance** is the amount of time you spend at work, compared with your free time: *Most working people struggle to get the **work-life balance** right.*
Other work words and phrases refer to time that we do not work. For example, **leave **is time that we are allowed to take off work, for example for holiday, illness or having babies: *I get twenty days **annual leave** (=_paid time off every year_)*. *Isabel is on **maternity leave** (=_off work to have a baby_)*. If someone is **off sick**, they are not at work because they are ill: *Three of our team are currently **off sick***. A **career break** is a period of time when you choose not to have a job: *I took a **career break** for a year and travelled*. Meanwhile, to **retire **is to stop working permanently, usually because you have reached a particular age: *My father **retired **at sixty-five.*
If someone is **promoted**, they are raised to a more important position at work, and if they are **demoted**, they are given a lower position. If they are **sacked **or they are **made redundant**, they are removed from a job: *He got **sacked from** his last job.*
Someone who works hard is **hard-working** and someone who has to work too much is **overworked**: *hard-working teachers/overworked nurses.* If a person is very interested in their work and is keen to make progress, you may describe them as **career-minded**: *She worked to earn money but she was never especially **career-minded***. If you describe a person at work as **professional**, you mean they show the correct qualities and skills for work, such as being smart, serious and organised: *The woman who dealt with us was very **professional**.*
Here’s hoping you now have the vocabulary to talk work!
