And describe how well you do or did this
job
SAMPLE :
● I’d like to talk about a job I had in the past. When I was at college, I worked in an office
as a receptionist.
● By chance, I saw an advert on a college notice board for a temporary receptionist, so I
applied for it. It was well-paid- job and the office was near the college. Immediately, I
emailed my CV and then I visited the office for an interview.
● Computer work and talking to people on the telephone are all things I did there. I
liked using my languages and I enjoyed working with different people. I had to
organize meetings and prepare reports. I sometimes visited another office and
worked there. It sounds interesting.
● As I said it was well-paid and I saved for a holiday. I also got work experience in a busy
and exciting company and I think that’s important. I learn a lot.
● Finally, I felt I did the job well. They gave me a good report for my college and they
also brought me some flowers and a card to say thank you. I’d like to work there again.
