Module 4 Task 1: What is Networking?
The video for this lesson is available online. Please find the transcript for the lesson below.
Hello. Welcome to Unit 4. In this unit, we're going to focus on some of the speaking skills that are
important for job seekers to develop.
Networking is a big part of the job search process. We're going to talk about what networking is
and why it is important in your career development. In later videos, we will focus on what to say
and how to say it.
What is networking?
Let's begin with some definitions. First, a network is a connection between many things or people.
In career development, networking means connecting with other people to talk about your job
search and career goals.
You can talk to other people formally at a professional conference or informally at lunch with
friends. When you are networking you are meeting new people and learning more about different
jobs and companies. Networking is about building professional relationships, which take time to
grow. When you meet new people, you learn about common interests or things you both know
about.
For example, two co-workers meet while working for a large financial company in New York. They
quickly learn that they both went to the same university. This common background is the beginning
of their professional relationship and may help them learn about some other things that they have
in common such as major or subject areas, work experiences, or other people they both know.
These are called mutual friends, or acquaintances.
How can you grow your professional network?
When you meet new people and discover common interests, they become a part of your
professional network. There are many ways to increase or add to your professional network.
1. You can join a professional organization, which is a group of people with similar occupations
or careers.
2. You can use social media websites like LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter.
Page 3 of 25
3. You can contact College Alumni groups. Alumni groups are a connection of current and past
students from the same university.
Why is networking important?
Once you have a group of people, your network can be very important for your career, because
they might know about job openings that are not advertised. When some companies add jobs, they
may not need to advertise online or in newspapers because they use their current employees to fill
new positions.
Let's look at an example of how networking really works.
Jack is a manager at a large tech company, and he is looking for an additional web designer to add
to the team. After he told his team, Martha remembered that her friend, Jin-Soo, is a web designer
and looking for a new job. Martha calls Jin-Soo and recommends that he contact her manager Jack
about the job. As a result of this network, Jin-Soo learns about an unadvertised job, sends his
resume and cover letter and interviews for the job. After the interview, Jin-Soo thanks Martha with
a phone call or by sending her an e-mail or a letter.
Summary
In summary, we have learned that networking is connecting with other people to talk about job
openings and career goals. We also learned how to increase your network by joining organizations
and using social media websites. Remember that networking is about building professional
relationships and can help you to learn about jobs that are not advertised online or in newspapers.

Module 4 Task 3 Making Small Talk
In this video, you’ll learn how to start conversations in professional or casual settings, even if you
don’t know the other person well. Making small talk is a useful way to build trust and open the
door to deeper conversations about work and career goals.
You’ll discover:
• What small talk is and why it’s important for networking
• Common safe topics to use when meeting someone for the first time
• Cultural guidelines for what to avoid in conversation
• Simple question patterns to help you feel more prepared and confident
As you watch, ask yourself: What topics do you usually talk about when you meet someone new?
Are there any conversation topics that are considered taboo in your culture?
💬 Conversation Tip: Small talk is different in every culture. In some places, it’s normal to ask
about family or even age. In others, those topics may feel too personal. If you’re not sure what’s
appropriate, start with neutral topics like the weather, food, or weekend plans.
The video for this lesson is available online. Please find the transcript for the lesson below.
Hello. In this video, we're going to discuss making small talk. We'll define what small talk is, give
some examples of it and explain how making small talk is relevant to networking and ultimately
finding a job. So, to begin, let's define what small talk is.
What is small talk?
Small talk is when you make polite conversation with someone. Often the conversation is with
someone you don't know very well, so you may have to speak with this person for the very first
time. A conversation may begin as small talk and then continue into speaking about something
more important. But usually, small talk is the first stage before you can get to that more important
place.
Page 6 of 25
For example, let's say you are in a business meeting with your co-workers. You might begin the
conversation with one of your colleagues by asking her about her family. You might say, “Hey,
Maria, how are you? How's your family doing? Did your youngest start school yet?” In this
situation, the speaker asks a question about his co-worker's family. Questions are a good way to get
a conversation started.
What are safe topics for small talk?
Usually, small talk sticks to topics that we consider safe. In the United States, chatting about
someone's family is generally a safe topic. Chatting about the weather is a safe topic. Chatting
about food, or travel, or movies, are safe topics.
Safe topics are ones where you can be pretty sure that you will not upset, or offend the person, by
talking about these topics. In the US, we usually stay clear of certain topics, topics that we consider
taboo or controversial, topics that could upset someone. Some examples of taboos in the US are
religion, politics, and salary. It's best to avoid discussing these topics in a conversation, especially
with someone you're trying to make a good impression with. So, you would never say to a
colleague in a conversation, “how much money do you make in your job?”
How can you prepare to make small talk?
Perhaps, to help you make small talk, you should have a number of questions already prepared.
That way, you're not tongue-tied or unable to speak when you meet someone. This brings up an
important point regarding small talk or conversation in general-- a lot of people are introverted or
shy by nature. They feel uncomfortable talking about themselves especially to strangers. This is a
perfectly normal thing. However, if you have such a personality, you don't want this to stop you
from having a conversation with someone who might possibly open a door to a future job. You will
need to try and find a way to overcome this personality obstacle.
In social situations, like meeting someone for the first time and feeling pressure to speak, asking
questions is a good way to take the focus off you. If you have a number of questions already
prepared, this will also help take some of the stress away in these uncomfortable situations.
Beforehand, write down a number of the questions that you can use in these situations. Choose
topics from the safe list we talked about earlier.
Here are a couple of examples:
1. How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun or interesting?
2. The weather forecast looks very nice for this coming weekend. Do you have any plans?
3. What restaurants would you recommend for lunch?
Page 7 of 25
These are just a few examples. Try these out of few times on a friend or a family member to see if
they work and whether you need more practice. Select the ones you think work well and throw out
the ones that don't.
Summary
In this video, we've looked at the topic of small talk. We've examined some examples of it and
discussed how it is relevant to networking.
What’s Next?
Next, we'll take a quiz to practice appropriate phrases from a conversation.
Page 8 of 25
Module 4 Quiz 2: Choose the Conversation with
Appropriate Topics
Decide if the following questions are appropriate (safe, acceptable) or inappropriate (taboo,
controversial) for small talk in U. S. culture.
You can take this quiz as many times as you want, and your highest score will be kept. You must
score at least 70% to pass this quiz.

Module 4 Task 4: Networking Elevator Speech - What to
Say When Networking
In this video, you’ll learn how to prepare a short introduction that clearly communicates your skills
and goals. This kind of prepared introduction is called an elevator speech because it’s short enough
to say during a quick conversation, like one you might have in an elevator!
You’ll discover:
• What an elevator speech is and why it’s useful for job seekers
• The 4 key parts of a successful elevator speech
• A sample speech from a job seeker at a networking event
• How asking a simple question can help continue the conversation
As you watch, ask yourself: What do you usually say when you introduce yourself? What details
about your skills or goals are most important to include in a short conversation?
Tip: Even though it’s called an “elevator speech,” you don’t need to be in an elevator! Use this
short introduction at job fairs, conferences, interviews, or anytime you meet someone who might
help you reach your career goals.
The video for this lesson is available online. Please find the transcript for the lesson below.
Hello, in this video we will discuss what to say when you are networking. Job seekers often meet
many people while they are searching for a job. We will discuss how to prepare and practice
networking elevator speech which is a short description of skills and career goals. For many of us, it
is easier to meet and talk to new people if we have prepared and practiced something to say about
ourselves.
What is an elevator speech?
Let's imagine that you just got in an elevator with a high-level manager in your company. After you
greet each other, you want to tell the manager a little bit more about yourself. What would you
say? Most people would say nothing and miss the chance to make a good impression on the
manager. However, successful job seekers should have a prepared statement they can use to
introduce themselves to another person quickly. This short description is known as an elevator
speech because the average amount of time in an elevator is about 45 seconds. Even though the
Page 10 of 25
elevator speech is short, it should give enough information to make the listener know who you are,
and what you can do.
What information should you include in your elevator speech?
Let's start with the basic information that you should include in your elevator speech. First, tell
them your full name and current job title, department, or employer. Second, tell the other person
what you are looking for: information or a kind of job in an industry, field, or location. Third, tell
them something about a past job or experience that could be important to them. Fourth, tell them
about a job skill that you have and are very good at.
After you've described a little bit about yourself, then you can ask the other person a general
question. A general question is one that is easy to answer. For example, do you know if the
company is hiring anyone right now? Asking questions helps to keep the conversation going and
allows you to find out more about them.
Let's see how an example job seeker, Amanda Smith, would introduce herself when networking. In
this situation, Amanda is at a professional conference with many people in the auto industry and
she is talking with some people from Toyota. Here's an example of what she could say to
introduced herself. First, she greets them with her name and gives her current job.
“Hello, I'm Amanda Smith and I have been in sales for about five years.”
Second, she explains what she's looking for, “I'm currently looking for a sales position in the auto
industry.”
Third, she tells them about a current or past experience, “One of the things I like most about sales,
is meeting and talking with new customers all the time.”
Fourth, she describes a job skill, “I'm really good at listening to customers, and I am able to
understand what they really want.”
Lastly, she asks a general question, “do you know if Toyota is hiring any new salespeople in this
area?”
So, by asking a question at the end, Amanda keeps the conversation going, and gives the listeners a
chance to introduce themselves as well. The question at the end is optional or your choice.
Summary
In summary, job seekers should have a short, prepared description or an elevator speech that they
can use to introduce themselves when networking. A good elevator speech includes your name and
current job, what you are looking for, something from a past experience, and a short description of
your best job skill. Even though it is short, it can give other people a lot of information about you.

Module 4 Task 5: Language Focus: Networking Elevator
Speech Delivery
In this video, you’ll learn how stress, pausing, and intonation affect the way your elevator speech
sounds to others. Using these tools correctly can help you sound more confident, clear, and
professional when you introduce yourself.
You’ll discover:
• What it means to stress a word—and why it matters
• How to pause between ideas so your listener can follow
• What intonation is and how it affects meaning and tone
• A full model of Amanda’s elevator speech, with confident delivery
As you watch, ask yourself: Which words in your own elevator speech should be louder or more
emphasized? How can you use pauses and intonation to sound more confident and friendly?
The video for this lesson is available online. Please find the transcript for the lesson below.
Hello. In this video, we're going to talk about the pronunciation and delivery of a networking
elevator speech. When we are networking, we not only need to think about what we are saying but
also how we are saying it. We should be aware of our word choices and how we say them. Speakers
who use effective stress, pausing, and intonation are often easier to understand and show
confidence. We will start by defining stress, pausing, and intonation and then we will look at an
example of how the delivery can show confidence. So, what are stress, pausing, and intonation?
What are stress and pausing?
When we talk about stress, we mean words that are longer and louder. Stressed words are usually
important keywords that you want the listener to hear clearly. Let's look at an example sentence
from Amanda's elevator speech. Which words are longer and louder?
I've been in sales for about five years.
Page 12 of 25
In this sentence, the word sales and five years are stressed. These are the words that the listener
needs to hear clearly.
Pauses are also important when speaking. Pauses are the short silence between words. In English
there's usually a pause after stressed words. Some speakers have longer or shorter pauses, but
there is a pause. Let's look at the same sentence and notice the words that are said together and
where to pause.
I've been in sales… for about five years.
Amanda pauses after the word sales and five years. You should also notice that the pause follows
the words with the most stress.
What is intonation?
Intonation is the rising or falling of a sound. Intonation is used to show that you're asking a
question or ending a statement. Rising intonation usually signals that the speaker isn't finished
speaking or signals a yes or no question. Falling intonation is used to signal the end of a statement
or a wh- question that begins with who, what, when, where or how. Let's look at Amanda's
intonation. Notice how her intonation falls at the end of the statement.
I'm really good at listening to customers.
Now notice that her intonation rises at the end of this yes or no question.
Do you know if Toyota is hiring any new salespeople in this area?
Intonation is important because it shows your level of confidence. If Amanda has too much rising
intonation
she would sound like she's asking too many questions or that she's not sure of herself. On the other
hand, too much falling intonation can make her sound like she's impatient or unfriendly.
In a networking elevator speech, you want to show confidence but not sound impatient or
unfriendly. If Amanda doesn't sound confident the other people will not be confident in her skills or
abilities. Likewise, if she sounds impatient, the other people may think she's not easy to work
with.
Now, I'm going to say the networking elevator speech and model the stress, pausing and intonation
that shows confidence. Pay attention to the words that are louder. Also, notice how I pause and the
intonation that I use.
Hello… I'm Amanda Smith… and I have been in sales for about five years... I'm currently looking for
a sales position in the auto industry… One of the things I like most about sales is meeting… and
talking… with new customers all the time.... I'm really good at listening to customers and I'm able
Page 13 of 25
to understand what they really want. Do you know if Toyota is hiring any new salespeople in this
area?
Summary
Let's review what we've learned about the pronunciation in networking elevator speeches. Job
seekers who use stress, pausing and intonation effectively appear more competent and are more
likely to be successful in their networking.

Module 4 Task 6: Preparing a Networking Elevator
Speech
In this video, you’ll hear a complete example of a networking elevator speech. Robyn, an
experienced English instructor, shares a short introduction that highlights her background, skills,
and goals. Her speech is a model of confident delivery, with clear stress, pauses, and intonation.
You’ll discover:
• What a complete elevator speech sounds like in a real context
• How Robyn uses verb tense, key vocabulary, and natural delivery
• How to organize your own speech for a professional setting
• How to apply what you've learned from previous lessons
As you watch, ask yourself: How does Robyn organize her ideas? What words does she stress? How
does her tone sound? Does it sound friendly, confident, clear? What parts of your own speech
could be improved?
The video for this lesson is available online. Please find the transcript for the lesson below.
In the video that follows, watch how the speaker introduces herself with a networking elevator
speech. Listen to Brian's introduction to the task, and then listen as Robyn delivers her networking
elevator speech.
Listen for Robyn's name, current job, what she is looking for, and something about a past job or
experience, as well as a skill that she has. Listen for the verb tenses and key words that she uses.
Also, listen to her stress, rhythm, and intonation.
While attending a professional conference in another city, imagine that you've just arrived at a
social event with many people who work in the same industry as you, medicine, engineering,
education, etc. While you are learning about new things in your field, you are also meeting new
people who work in the same industry. These people work for other companies or organizations,
and they may know about available jobs. Whenever you meet new people in a professional setting,
it is important that you have a short description that you can use to introduce
yourself to others. We've looked at things to say in a networking elevator speech and how to stress
certain words and pause in specific places. Now, it is your chance to try it out.

Module 4 Task 8: Asking for a Reference
Photo by Christina @ [Link] on Unsplash is under the Unsplash license.
In this lesson, you’ll learn how to request a professional reference in English. A reference is
someone who can speak about your skills and experience to an employer. Many jobs require one or
more references, especially if part of the hiring process takes place in English.
Even if your reference speaks your local language, you may still need to make your request in
English. For example, if:
• The employer communicates in English
• You’re submitting your application materials in English
• You’re preparing for work in an international or bilingual setting
This lesson will help you understand when and how to ask, what to include in your message, and
how to be polite, clear, and professional.
What Is a Reference?
Many employers ask for references during or after an interview. A reference is someone who
knows your work and can talk about your strengths and experience. They might be contacted by
phone or email during the hiring process, or they might be asked to write a short recommendation.
A strong reference can improve your chances of getting a job.
Common examples of references:
• A former manager or team leader
• A professor, teacher, or academic advisor
• A partner you worked with on a project
• A volunteer coordinator or internship supervisor
• A senior colleague or mentor
Page 20 of 25
How to Ask for a Reference
A good reference request is polite, clear, and respectful of the person’s time. You don’t need to
write a long message. Just be friendly, professional, and specific about what you’re asking.
Here are some polite, professional phrases you can use:
• “Would you feel comfortable serving as a reference?”
• “I’d be happy to send you more information.”
• “They may contact you by phone or email.”
• “If this isn’t a good time, I completely understand.”
• “Thank you again for your support.”`
Sample Reference Request (Email or Message)
Subject: Reference Request
Dear Mr. Shah,
I hope you’re doing well. I’m applying for a position as a logistics coordinator with MobiTrans, and I
wanted to ask if you would feel comfortable serving as a reference for me.
We worked together at ExpressPlus from 2021 to 2023, and I really appreciated your support
during that time.
If you’re available, they may contact you by phone or email in the next 2 weeks. I’d be happy to
send you the job description and my updated resume for context.
If this isn’t a good time, I completely understand. Thank you so much either way!
Best regards,
Fatima Karim
Cross-Cultural Tip
In some cultures, it’s normal to ask for references formally and in writing. In others, people may use
informal channels like text or WhatsApp. When in doubt, be polite, give details, and make it easy
for the person to say yes or no.
After They Say Yes…
If someone agrees to be your reference,
• send them a copy of your resume and the job description.
• Let them know when and how they may be contacted.
• Say thank you (by message, email, or in person)
• Stay in touch! A reference is also part of your long-term professional network.

Have you ever:
• Met someone new at a work or school event?
• Sent a message to a person on LinkedIn or email?
• Asked a teacher, manager, or co-worker to be your reference?
If you have not done this yet, that’s OK! You can write about what you would do in the future.
Step 2: Write Your Story
Write a short post (3–6 sentences). You can answer questions like:
• Who did you talk to (or who would you talk to)?
• What did you say (or what would you say)?
• Was it easy or difficult? Why?
• Did you say thank you or follow up later?
• How did you feel?
Page 22 of 25
Step 3 (Optional): Share a Phrase
If you used a polite or helpful sentence in English, you can share it with the group.
Example:
• “Would you feel comfortable being my reference?”
• “Nice to meet you. I’m looking for a job in healthcare.”
Commenting on Others
If you want, you can read someone else’s post and write a kind reply. You can say:
• “That was a good idea!”
• “Thanks for sharing your story.”
• “I liked the phrase you used.”
Be respectful and encouraging. Everyone is learning.
Guidelines
• There are no wrong answers.
• Use simple English. This is for practice and reflection.
• Be polite and supportive in all comments.
