PART B_1

Let’s read the dialogue. I will play Ron and you will play Emma. Then, we’ll switch roles.

PART B_2

Hello, Emma. Could you tell me about your job?

Sure, I am an HR staff. I have been working for 3 years now.

That’s good to hear. By the way, what are your hiring strategies?

Now, we rely on job advertisements on social media almost exclusively.

That is the trend nowadays. Joining job fairs is also a great way to find the right people.

I agree, that’s why the company gave up posting jobs in print newspapers to find potential candidates.

I think there’s nothing wrong with that. People use the internet every minute of their day.

No doubt about it.

PART C_1

Let’s read the dialogue. Read aloud, and fill in the blanks as you remember the sentence you just read.

Let’s read the new dialogue. Read aloud, and fill in the blanks with the vocabulary and expressions you learned.

PART D_2

Hello, Emma. You work in the HR department, right? Does our company post job alerts online?

Certainly! Now, we __________ posting in-depth content about our company on social media almost exclusively.

That’s popular nowadays.

Also, posting on mini-billboards at stops along one of Chicago’s commuter train lines is __________ to find the right people.

Why do you say so?

Well, it could be seen by thousands of tech professionals walking downtown every day.

Now, I understand why our company gave up posting jobs in print newspapers to find potential candidates.
