Learn how to sign various different job titles in British Sign Language (BSL).
At the start of the video, there's some general terms for job titles. The signs for 'advisor' and 'assistant' may depend on your job. With your dominant hand in a 'thumbs up' position and your non-dominant hand with an index finger extended, this represents supporting or helping a person. Both hands in the 'thumbs up' position is used where jobs entail more general support. Feel free to choose the one that matches your job and use the appropriate lip pattern.
The sign used for 'manager' changes depending on the context also. Where the manager is a boss, use the sign with two index fingers extended. However, in the case of a 'Social Media Manager' for example, this context usually refers to someone who is organising workloads and a different sign is used. Use whichever is appropriate to your job role depending on if you are managing people or tasks.
There are some simple sentences at the end of the video to help you use the vocabulary learned in this video. Asking yourself a question is a useful tool to construct sentences in BSL, i.e. 'my job is a builder' becomes 'Job me what? builder' in BSL. Much like English and other languages however, there are various ways to construct sentences.
