Lingo
If you are lucky enough to score a job in a law firm or public relations company, yet are unaware of some of the language to expect in the board room, you are in a wonderful position to learn all the relevant terms and phrases. You want to be able to understand what others are saying around you. Ask questions and pay attention, especially in meetings. Knowing what a “declaration of trust” or what “defamation” is can be beneficial to your vocabulary after the end of your work day. You’ll also get a lesson for when not to use lingo. Used in the wrong context and instead of sounding like you know what you’re doing, you sound like you’re pretending to know.
