BREAKING NEWS! - WHY IT'S IMPORTANT!

The news is something that anyone who is studying Business English should really pay attention to. 

Watch it, read it, or listen to it. It doesn't matter how you digest the news, and, in truth, you would do best to mix all three methods to improve all your skills, but what it is really great for are 2 key things - improving your vocabulary for talking about things that are current and relevant, and providing you will a great resource for things to talk about that really affect us all, from ways of doing business today right down to everyone's day to day lives.

ARQUEOLOGO.

Swedish furniture company IKEA has opened a new store.

There's nothing strange about that. But wait a minute — the new store is inside a video game. And it's paying real people to work there!

IKEA advertised for 10 positions in a virtual store it has opened in Roblox — and got more than 178,000 applications!

Roblox is a popular online gaming platform that lets users play games and create their own.

IKEA has created The Co-Worker Game on the platform. And it needed some employees.

At the start of June, IKEA began looking for people aged 18 and over in the UK and Ireland to work as paid members of staff at the in-game store.

It said staff would help customers, and would be able to get promoted and move departments, just like in real life.

The company said it wanted to show that it does things a little differently.

Wes Davis from technology website The Verge called it a "weird" but "harmless" idea.

He said he'd never heard of other companies paying people to work in a game, but added that US company Walmart has already created a game on Roblox.

IKEA said its employees would be paid a little over $16.50 per hour during their work-from-home shifts, which is about the same as the company's other workers get paid in the UK.

The store opened on June 24. It's not clear how long the workers will be employed for, although the company said the positions would be on a "limited contract."

It also said anyone who didn't get a job could still experience the virtual store and win in-game prizes.

Professional networking is the strategic cultivation of relationships with individuals and groups within your industry or field. It goes beyond simply collecting business cards; it's about building genuine connections, fostering mutually beneficial exchanges, and creating a network that can support your professional growth.

The more you network, the more people you can potentially lean on when you need a professional favor. This can ultimately benefit you in your career and help you reach your professional goals.


Benefits of Professional Networking:

Career Advancement: Networking can open doors to new job opportunities through referrals, introductions, and increased visibility within your field.

Knowledge Sharing and Learning: Networking allows you to tap into the expertise and experiences of others. This includes learning about industry trends, best practices, and valuable insights that may not be readily available elsewhere.

Increased Visibility and Credibility: Actively engaging in professional networks helps you establish yourself as a thought leader within your industry. By sharing your knowledge and expertise, you build trust and credibility, enhancing your professional brand.

Finding Mentors and Allies: Through networking, you can connect with experienced professionals who can offer guidance and support as you navigate your career path. These mentors can provide valuable career advice, feedback, and encouragement.

Building Strategic Partnerships: Professional networks can lead to collaborations and partnerships with other businesses or individuals who share your goals or complement your skillset.
