PREFACE This book is written for anyone working or planning to work in Human Resource
and Personnel Management, and who want to develop their knowledge for this
line for work. This book is also used for anyone working in other business-related
areas i.e. secretarial, administrative, Labour Law, accountancy, sales, business
law, business management etc.
When you use this book, you should not go through the exercises mechanically. It
is better to choose areas that you are unfamiliar with, or areas that you feel are
of specific interest or importance to yourself. The exercises are accompanied by
a full answer key at the back of the book. This key also gives you lots of other
information that might be useful to you, as well as providing other words (synonyms, opposites, alternative words, etc) that are not covered in the
exercises themselves.
It is important to record new words and expressions that you learn. Try to develop
your own personal vocabulary 'bank' in a notebook or file. Review the words and
expressions on a regular basis so that they become an active part of your
vocabulary.
You will find it very helpful to use a dictionary when you do the exercises in this
book. A good dictionary will give a clear definition of words and expressions
show you how they are pronounced, and give sample sentences to show how
they are used in context.
I shall appreciate further questions from our readers and all concerned on
various issues so that they can be included in our future edition or replied through
email [email protected] . I shall appreciate if our readers can give
suggestions and criticism and call our attention to errors which might have
inadvertently crept in. For career advice updates please visit

I would be glad to receive your queries or suggestions.
