You can find information about a job in an ad (advert/advertisement). You can also search or look at websites and register with an employment agency.

You reply to a job advert. You apply for a job by writing an application letter and/or filling in a form. A CV lists your qualifications and experience. A statement from someone who knows you to support your application is a character reference (рекомендательное письмо).

A job that is available is a vacancy. If a company wants new staff, they recruit or take on people. If you are headhunted (переманили), a person/company asks you to leave your job to work for another organization. If you decide not to accept a job, you turn it down.

The people who interview you are the interview panel. People who are competing for a job are candidates. The stages of finding a person for a job make up the selection process.

Companies use psychometric tests or handwriting analysis to test candidates' ability to think and to analyse their personality.

The Human Resources department helps to choose new employees and explains the systems in a company.
