I put this together when I found so many of my learners trying to hone their employability skills did not know what a lot of the words on job descriptions meant.
Resource 1 (Definition matching cards: job skills and attributes): I laminated these and cut them up and they worked in pairs or threes to match them up.
There are two other linked resources, as below, to help students with getting to grips with the keywords used in Job Descriptions and Person Specifications.
