Complete the flow chart.

You will hear a talk by a company representative explaining the recruitment process and how to apply for a job. Now listen carefully and answer the questions. So that's an overview of the kind of jobs. Now, how to get them. First of all, provided you have a UK work permit, you can go online and register an interest in working for us. By return, you'll receive a unique applicant's code, which is your personal identification number and which we'll use in all communications. Along with that, you get access to the Human Resources website, where you should make sure you understand the legal terms and conditions which apply to all our employees. That's also where you can then download the application form, Fill it in and send it back along with your CV. You'll know within 48 hours whether you're being considered as you get an automated response. Sorry if it's a bit impersonal, but at least it's quick. Hopefully, if we like the sound of you, there will be in that automated response a list of times for an initial interview which will take place by telephone during the following week. You confirm by e-mail which of the time slots will suit you. Provided the interview is satisfactory, at that point we'll ask for any evidence of qualifications required, which might be your degree or diploma certificate or so on, which you have to send certified copies of and we contact your referees. The last thing you have to do is you come along and have a look round the International Finest Group head office, get to know some of our team in Human Resources face to face, and participate in a one-day recruitment seminar, which involves a number of group and individual activities, along with other potential employees. Then, with luck, we'll offer you a job. So, I hope you like the sound of joining our organisation.

AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.

Question Focus: The diagram shows an early step after getting access to the Human Resources website. We need to label what the applicant should understand there.

Correct Answer: F

Why this is correct: The diagram step is about what you must check on the HR website. The speaker says you should understand the legal terms and conditions, which matches conditions of employment.

Passage Reference: Along with that, you get access to the Human Resources website, where you should make sure you understand the legal terms and conditions which apply to all our employees.

Common Mistake: Some students choose work permit because it is mentioned earlier. But that requirement comes before registering online, not on the HR website. This is a sequence trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'legal terms and conditions' = Diagram: 'conditions of employment'

Tips: When you hear a website mentioned, listen for verbs like understand, check, or read to know what action the diagram wants.

Key Vocabulary:

  • legal = related to the law
  • conditions = rules

Question Focus: The diagram sentence says the applicant sends something back with the application form.

Correct Answer: A

Passage Reference: That's also where you can then download the application form, Fill it in and send it back along with your CV.

Why this is correct: The diagram asks what is sent with the application form. The speaker clearly says you send it back along with your CV, so the answer is CV.

Common Mistake: Students sometimes choose names of referees because referees are mentioned later. But they are contacted after the interview, not sent with the form. This is a context shift trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'send it back along with your CV' = Diagram: 'send with application form'

Tips: Listen carefully to words like with, along with, or together. They often show what items go together.

Key Vocabulary:

  • along with = together with
  • application form = job form

Question Focus: The diagram shows the next step after the automated response, asking what happens next.

Correct Answer: G

Passage Reference: Hopefully, if we like the sound of you, there will be in that automated response a list of times for an initial interview which will take place by telephone during the following week.

Why this is correct: After the automated response, the speaker explains there will be an initial interview. This matches the diagram step exactly.

Common Mistake: Some students pick recruitment seminar because it sounds important. But that happens at the very end, not here. This is a sequence trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'initial interview by telephone' = Diagram: 'initial interview'

Tips: Flow charts follow time order. Use the previous answer to predict when the next step is coming.

Key Vocabulary:

  • initial = first
  • interview = formal meeting

Question Focus: The diagram asks what the company requests if the interview is satisfactory.

Correct Answer: E

Passage Reference: Provided the interview is satisfactory, at that point we'll ask for any evidence of qualifications required, which might be your degree or diploma certificate or so on, which you have to send certified copies of and we contact your referees.

Why this is correct: The speaker says that if the interview goes well, they ask for evidence of qualifications like a degree or diploma. That is exactly what the diagram is asking for.

Common Mistake: Students sometimes choose names of referees because referees are mentioned in the same sentence. But referees are contacted, not requested as the main item here. This is a partial truth trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'degree or diploma certificate' = Diagram: 'evidence of qualifications'

Tips: When you hear examples like degree or diploma, think about the general category they belong to.

Key Vocabulary:

  • evidence = proof
  • qualifications = degrees or certificates

Question Focus: The diagram shows the final stage before being offered a job.

Correct Answer: D

Passage Reference: The last thing you have to do is you come along and have a look round the International Finest Group head office, get to know some of our team in Human Resources face to face, and participate in a one-day recruitment seminar, which involves a number of group and individual activities, along with other potential employees.

Why this is correct: The speaker clearly says the last step is a one-day recruitment seminar. This matches the final box in the diagram.

Common Mistake: Some students choose initial interview because interviews feel important. But the speaker says this happens earlier, not at the end. This is a sequence trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'one-day recruitment seminar' = Diagram: 'recruitment seminar'

Tips: Words like the last thing or finally are strong signals for final diagram labels.

Key Vocabulary:

  • seminar = training day
  • recruitment = hiring

General Tips:

  • Diagram positions follow the order of the recording, so work from top to bottom.
  • Listen for signpost phrases like first of all, provided that, and the last thing.
  • Do not choose an option just because you hear the word. Check that it fits the diagram step.
  • Cross out each option as you use it. Each word is used only once.
  • If two options sound similar, wait for extra details like examples or timing to confirm.
