For example, if we have a problem with our central heating at home, we hire a plumber to fix it. However, if somebody works for us for a long time. we use the verb "employ'. For example, a school employs teachers.

"Make the most of" means to get the maximum benefit from a situation while it is available. For example, if you go to London to learn English, you should make the most of your time there by speaking the language as often as possible.
