I know "freeze" means "to stop" but I can't understand in position here. For a side note : I don't want the meaning of "tableaux", but I'm just curious to know what "freeze in position" here.

Re: Tableaux

toms mathew — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 17:32:49 GMT

Please try the following meanings too.. 1. a picture, as of a scene. 2. a picturesque grouping of persons or objects; a striking scene. 3. a representation of a picture, statue, scene, etc., by one or more persons suitably costumed and posed. 4. Solitaire . the portion of a layout to which one may add cards according to suit or denomination. 5. An interlude during a scene when all the performers on stage freeze in position and then resume action as before. I hope the 3rd and 5th meanings will suit. Please wait for other comments too.

Should we use 'work experience' or 'working experience' as the subject of categories in resumes ? I use 'Work Experience'. In addition, is "work experience" (BrE) = "internship" (AmE) in English? I have never heard that, no. "Internship" tends to be of rather longer duration than "work experience". Is this correct? Not to me it isn't. In fact, I think it's more likely to be the reverse. To me work experience is a list of all the places you've worked, with a short description of the job you did while you worked at each place. Your work experience is as long as your life so far, assuming you've kept working until now. To me an internship can be at...

Re: Can we use "resume duty" for students?

avangi — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 17:48:13 GMT

I'd advise against it. It sounds rather comical. "Classes will resume" is common. Since many students study through breaks, and their "duty" is to succeed, it's only the class schedule which is suspended during breaks. If you wish to cover those students who do not attend regular classes, you could say, "The regular university schedule for the spring semester will resume on 4 March, 2010." What the students actually do at this stage in life is anyboby's guess.

It's a sign posted on the side of the stree a school is located on to signal drivers to resume normal speed. Sorry about this, CJ. Unless I get it straightened out. All your help could very well have been for nothing. I apologize . Raen p.s.: Let's say it is "school zone end".

Greetings, Uktous, thank you for giving the details of your situation. If the intended meaning you wish to convey is 'I want to become officially recognized as an accountant by undertaking a course and passing examinations' ', which is the most plausible interpretation if the sentence is part of a curriculum vitae, then you are welcome to use 'qualify', and not 'be qualified' . The active construction is preferable here. However, you may say 'I want to become a qualified accountant, where the word in bold is an adjective used attributively. Respectfully, Gleb Chebrikoff

But if there were two or more openings, then I think it would be better to use the word 'positions': In response to your job posting for the trainee accountant positions...
