These are job postings like the ones you see online: the pay, the schedule, what you
do and what you need. Some words will be new. Read them anyway, the way you would at home.

stage one posting and read it like a real ad: "What is the pay? What
days? What do you need?" Then "Which job needs a driver's license?" into the chat. For the four
people, ask "Is Luis right for the store clerk job?" and let the room argue with but. Last part in
breakouts: which job is right for you? Nothing personal is typed on this page.
