The Office English Word Book (FREE) with Raghu Datta

Your first team will use short office words all day: EOD, ETA, KT, OOO, blocker, loop in, deliverable. Nobody explains them, because everybody already knows them. This free guide explains each one the same way: what it means, where you will hear it, how to reply, real sample messages, and the mistakes new joiners make with it.

Inside: seven words in depth (EOD, blocker, ETA, loop in, KT, deliverable, OOO), each with fill-in reply templates; a glossary of 23 more everyday words (standup, sync, 1:1, ping, FYI, ASAP, WFH, bandwidth, sprint, ticket, backlog, escalate and more), each with a line you will actually see; 13 copy-paste AI prompts: 12 grouped by job (decode a message, draft and check a reply, give an honest ETA, say a blocker, loop someone in, prepare for KT, write an OOO auto-reply, quiz yourself, role-play your first week) and one that builds your own first-month plan; a two-week practice plan; and a printable first-month checklist.

Free, 38 pages, phone friendly, drawn illustrations throughout.

FAQs:

I have not joined a company yet. Is this useful?

Yes. The same words appear in internship emails, college project groups and interviews, and the role-play prompt lets you practise your first week before it starts.

Which AI tool do I need?

Any AI chat assistant works: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot or another. The free versions are enough.

Is it only for IT jobs?

The examples come from IT and services teams, but the words are used in most offices, including support, operations and HR.

Is it really free?

Yes. Download it, use it, and share it with a friend who is starting their first job.
