TO GET YOUR FOOT IN THE DOOR (REVISION): meaning and examples
Good morning. I hope all of you had a great weekend.
This week we're going to review a series of Daily Vitamins related to mobility in the workplace; these Daily Vitamins were originally sent in November of 2004.
Today's expression is: to get/have your foot in the door.
It means: to get an opportunity to start working in a new job or in a new business. We often use this expression to talk about job opportunities that we consider especially valuable or interesting.
Example 1:
By doing volunteer work in the company, Janet was able to get her foot in the door. When her employers saw how well she worked, they decided to give her a permanent position.
Example 2:
Robert thinks he has his foot in the door just because his cousin is the Director of Human Resources. However, I'm not so sure because he isn't really qualified for the position.
