I would like to know that the expression » carve a niche for myself » is commonly usued.

I suppose it means to make a special position for myself.

And can I change it into ‘make my own position’?

Is the expression, » to make my own position» correct and understandable?

Thank you in advance.

Oh I am so sorry. And thank you for asking, Cagey.
I copied the sentence from my file.
But I did not copy the entire sentence.

The original sentence is » I managed to carve a niche for myself as a specialist in dermatology.»

And I would like ot know if I can change the expression ‘carve a niche for myself’ into another one ‘make my own position’.

I know ‘carve a niche for myself’ is used in this sentence as ‘make a specialt position for myself’.

But the expression,’make my own position’, is correct and understandable?

11 сленговых выражений и идиом английского языка, используемых в рабочей обстановке

Тему сленговых выражений и английских идиом можно обсуждать бесконечно, поскольку английский язык, как и любой другой язык, постоянно развивается, приобретает новые словесные формы.

Но сегодня, мы поговорим о тех сленговых словах и идиомах в английском языке, которые используются именно на рабочем месте, в рабочей обстановке и связаны непосредственно с работой.

1.To axe someone

Не подумайте, никто никого убивать топором не собирается! Значение этой английской идиомы всего лишь «уволить, сократить с рабочего места».

Jane got axed because she was stealing constantly from a shop.

Ivan was axed because he was found using social networks during working hours.

2. Back to the drawing board

Данная идиома английского языка означает «начинать все сначала». Когда ваш проект не принимают, или курсовую работу забраковали и вам приходится начинать все заново, смело используете эту идиому в разговоре об этом.

I got to go back to the drawing board, my paper was not approved.

I worked really hard on this project, but my boss rejected it, so now I have to get back to the drawing board.

3. Back to the salt mines

Дословно переводится как «вернуться в соляные шахты», то есть, к «тяжелой» работе. Довольно популярная английская идиома, с немного юмористическим и веселым подтекстом.

It was nice to see you, but now I got to get back to the salt mines, customers won’t wait.

4. Blue collar worker

Переводится как «работник с синим воротником», то есть, человек рабочей профессии.

Существуют также понятия white collar worker – офисный работник, и pink collar worker – работник сферы торговли, продаж.

This place is full of blue collar workers.

My sister is a pink collar worker. She works in a very expensive shop.

5. Deadwood

Сленговое слово, которым называют либо ни на что не способного человека, либо бесполезную вещь, не приносящую дохода.

I believe, John is a complete deadwood to the company, he should be axed.

6. Bust one’s buns

Эта фраза означает «усердно трудиться». Если вам известно ее происхождение, поделитесь информацией в комментах 😉

I have busted my buns for entire week on this project.

7. Bumped up

Это сленговое выражение имеет значение «получить повышение, прибавку к зарплате».

I got bumped up to vice president.

Congratulate me! I got bumped up, so now I can afford to buy a nice car for myself.

8. Carve out a niche

Данное выражение можно перевести как «удобно устроиться, выбить себе подходящее место», сфокусироваться на очень узком сегменте работы, с которым не каждый может справиться.

I have carved out a niche for myself in this project.

9. Desk Jokey

Это сленговое выражение описывает человека, который на работе постоянно торчит у компьютера, не проявляет никакой активности.

I am too tired to be a desk jokey. I think I need a new job for myself.

10. Dog eat dog world

Такой английской идиомой можно описать наш жестокий мир, где выживает сильнейший. То есть, иногда нужно быть крайне агрессивным и смышленым, чтобы пробиться вперед.

— Have you heard about Josef’s promotion? It’s not fair!

— Dog eat dog world, you know.

11. Fly by night operations

Так называют ненадежную компанию, которая ведет нечестный бизнес и старается получить легкую прибыль.

Hey, don’t buy any products from that company, because that company is one of those fly by night operations.
