Each character seeks a job in a different sector: food and retail, hospitality and the call centre industry. Rohit’s case is a little more unusual as he has decided to follow his dreams to become a Bollywood star. Together they try to realise their potential by finding professional work.

In the first episode, they meet an enigmatic and knowledgeable gentleman who agrees to help them in their search for work. But will they be successful?

The Jobseekers series will help you:
• Learn useful vocabulary for work
• Write job applications, and CV’s / Resumes
• Prepare for interviews
• Develop your listening skills and interpersonal skills
• Improve your pronunciation

The language content is aimed at pre-intermediate level learners of English, however the focus on employability and workplace skills will be relevant to all.
