Key Word

landed a job: I just landed the best job in the world!

I just landed the best job in the world!

Sounds like you landed a good job.

 

bumped into ~: meet someone you know when you have not planned to meet them. 우연히 아는 사람 만남

Guess who I bumped into at the store last night?

I can’t believe I bumped into you! How are things with you?

They received pay hikes of about 7% last year.

 

get perks: have a special advantage or benefit, in addition to the money you are paid, that you are given because of your job

perk: (급료 이외의) 특전

The employees working for tech companies get the best perks in the Boston area.

I’m getting a pay hike with great perks.

Would you rather have better perks or a higher salary?

 

flexible hours: allows an employee to work hours that differ from the normal company start and finish time

She not only maintains flexible hours but also encourages everyone to follow her lead.

I worked freelance before I moved to this company. I miss having more flexible hours sometimes.

You are never going to save enough money to buy a car if you keep buying expensive gadgets. You cannot have your cake and eat it, too.

 

luck out: 운이 좋다. luck은 행운 이란 뜻을 가지며 Good Luck! 이런 식으로 사용됨.

I really lucked out this time.
