shoghl peyda kardan

Find employment

Significado

To secure a position of work.

🌍

Contexto cultural

When you find a job, your colleagues might ask for 'Shirini'. This is a small celebration where you buy sweets for everyone to share the joy of your new position. LinkedIn has become the primary tool for 'shoghl peydā kardan' among the urban middle class, replacing traditional newspaper ads (Hamshahri). Parents often feel a sense of 'râhata-e khiyâl' (peace of mind) only when their children 'shoghl peydā kardan', especially if it's a stable government job. It is considered slightly rude to ask someone 'How much is your salary?' immediately after they say they found a job, though close family will definitely ask.

💡

Use 'Kār' for casual talk

If you're with friends, say 'kār peydā kardam'. It sounds less like a resume and more like a conversation.

⚠️

Watch the 'Rā'

Don't say 'shoghl rā peydā kardam' unless you are talking about a specific job everyone already knows about.

💬

The Shirini Rule

If you tell an Iranian friend you found a job, be prepared for them to jokingly (or seriously) ask for sweets!
