직장과 커리어 관용구

Workplace and career idioms

hit the ground running, move the goalposts, call the shots, the glass ceiling 같은 관용구를 익혀 직장 생활을 미묘한 뉘앙스로 표현합니다.

영어권 직장은 복도에서 나누는 비격식적인 대화부터 성과 평가와 면접에서 쓰는 언어까지 관용구로 가득합니다. 관용구를 이해하면 동료들이 실제로 의미하는 바를 따라가는 데 도움이 되고, 몇 가지를 잘 사용하면 내 영어도 편안하고 자연스럽게 들립니다. 관용구는 고정되어 있으므로 보통 단어를 바꿀 수 없지만 동사의 시제는 바뀔 수 있습니다.
