Ads, job postings & notices on the TOEIC

TOEIC Part 7 includes non-email texts: job advertisements, product announcements, public notices, event flyers. These are shorter but denser — every sentence contains a testable detail. French speakers lose points by not reading the fine print.

Job posting vocabulary

"Applicants must have a minimum of 3 years' experience."
Les candidats doivent avoir au moins 3 ans d'expérience.
"Applicants" = candidats (not "applicateurs"). "A minimum of" = au moins. TOEIC tests whether you distinguish "required" from "preferred."
"Competitive salary and benefits package"
Salaire compétitif et avantages sociaux.
"Benefits" = avantages sociaux (not "bénéfices" = profits). Classic faux ami.

Advertisement vocabulary

"complimentary" = gratuit
"Complimentary breakfast included." Not a compliment — it means free.
"valid through December 31" = valable jusqu'au 31 décembre
"Through" includes the end date. "Until" can be ambiguous. TOEIC tests this.

Reading strategy for ads and notices

These texts are dense with dates, prices, conditions, and eligibility requirements. TOEIC questions often ask about restrictions or exceptions: "Who is eligible?" "What is NOT included?" "When does the offer expire?" Read the conditions paragraph carefully — that's where the answers hide.

Common mistake

French speakers confuse "benefits" (avantages sociaux) with "bénéfices" (profits). On TOEIC job postings, "benefits" always means the package of perks (health insurance, paid leave, retirement), never financial profit.
