- employ（雇用）、employee（员工）、employer（雇主）三个词长得像，词尾 -ee 表示「被动接受动作的人」（被雇用的人），-er 表示「主动做动作的人」（雇用别人的人），这条构词规律能帮你少背很多单词。
- 收录 Cambridge Preliminary（B1）官方词表「Work and Jobs」主题里跟求职、雇用关系、职场制度有关的单词（具体职业名称收在上一篇《44 职业名称》）。
- 涵盖求职流程（application、CV、apply）和职场状态（full time/part time、retire、unemployed），每个词配一个常用搭配。
- 学完能写求职信、聊工作待遇，也能听懂关于就业状况的新闻报道。
