Unit 10 · Quote
"'I'd like to' is a wish. 'I'm going to' is a plan. The most useful career conversations are the ones that turn the first into the second."
Lesson goals
By the end you will…
- Talk about medium-term career wishes precisely — separating 'I'd like to' (aspiration) from 'I'm going to' (committed plan).
- Use 'would like to', 'I'd rather', 'I'm hoping to', 'I'm considering' with the correct register for a boss vs a peer vs a recruiter.
- Make a polite request or proposal without over-hedging ('would it be possible to…?', 'I'd appreciate it if…').
- Turn a vague career wish into a 12-month plan with two concrete first steps.
