2) Wages is the money paid weekly to do a job; salary is the money paid monthly or annually to do a job
3) Career refers to the series of jobs that a person has in a particular area of work and it also refers to the period of your life that you spend working; profession usually refers in a general sense to jobs that require special training or qualifications
4) Skills are particular abilities required in a job; qualifications usually refer to the exams passed
5) Being sacked (or fired) means being made to leave your job because you did it badly; being made redundant means losing your job because a company no longer has work available for you
6) Getting a rise means being paid more than before; getting promoted means being given a higher post in the company
7) Good prospects are good possibilities of future promotion; good opportunities are good chances to do something interesting in your job
8) Being out of work means you don't have a job or you have lost the one you had; being off work indicates a temporary absence because of illness or if you are having a baby
