Job Posting


Meaning

Job Posting, Seeking Workers

Word Type

noun, verbal noun

Explanation

When you're requesting people, you put up a job posting because you’re seeking workers.


Reading

きゅうじん

Explanation

This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. Since 人 has two on'yomi readings, here's a mnemonic to help you remember which one to use: As you're looking at job postings, you notice they're all looking for people with cucumbers and jeans (きゅうじん). That's the only qualification they're after, cucumbers and jeans.
