Question 1: What work do you do?

Sample Answer: Um, well, I'm actually a student at the moment, so I don't have a full-time job. I'm focusing on my IELTS prep and finishing my degree in International Relations. But to help pay for my studies, I work part-time at a café near the university. It's nothing too fancy – mostly serving coffee and pastries, but it's pretty flexible, which is great for fitting it around my classes and studying. I also do a bit of freelance writing on the side, mostly blog posts and website copy for some smaller businesses. It's not a huge amount of money, but it helps with the expenses.

Question 2: Why did you choose to do that type of work (or that job)?

Sample Answer: I chose this job because I’ve always been interested in technology and problem-solving. I enjoy creating things and seeing how they work, so it felt like a natural fit. It also gives me a chance to keep learning and improving, which is something I really value in a career.

Question 3: Do you like your job?

Sample Answer: Oh, it's… complicated. I mean, there are definitely things I enjoy. I like the people I work with, they’re a really great team, and we have a lot of laughs. Plus, the work itself can be really interesting sometimes – we get some fascinating projects. But it's also pretty stressful, the deadlines are often quite tight, and the workload can be a bit overwhelming at times. So, it's a bit of a mixed bag, really. I wouldn't say I *love* it, but I certainly don't hate it either. I’m hoping things will improve as I gain more experience.

Question 4: What requirements did you need to meet to get your current job?

Sample Answer: I had to pass an interview and show that I had the right skills and experience. They also checked my qualifications and asked for references. I prepared by reviewing common questions and learning about the company. It was competitive, but I’m glad I got the position.

Question 5: Do you have any plans for your work in the next five years?

Sample Answer: Yes, in the next five years, I hope to gain more experience and take on bigger responsibilities at work. I also want to improve my skills through training or courses. Eventually, I’d like to move into a higher position or start a project of my own. I believe planning ahead is important for career growth.

Question 6: What do you think is the most important at the moment?

Sample Answer: Right now, I think my career is the most important thing for me. I want to build a strong foundation for the future. At the same time, I also try to balance work with health and family. It’s all about setting priorities and staying focused.

Question 7: Do you want to change to another job?

Sample Answer: Hmm, that's a tough one. Right now, I'm pretty happy with my current job, it's a good stepping stone really. I'm learning a lot and the people are great, but ideally, I'd like something with a bit more responsibility and maybe slightly better pay in the long term. So, I wouldn't say I want to change *immediately*, but I'm definitely keeping my eyes open for opportunities that offer more career progression. I'm not actively looking, but if the right role came along, I'd seriously consider it.

Question 8: What technology do you use at work?

Sample Answer: Well, it depends on what you mean by "work," because I'm still a student, so my "work" is mostly studying! But in terms of technology I use for my studies, it's pretty much everything. I rely heavily on my laptop, obviously, for writing essays, researching papers, and taking notes. I use a whole suite of Google apps – Docs, Sheets, Slides, you name it – for collaboration and organization. I also use online dictionaries and thesauruses constantly, and I've been experimenting with some note-taking apps like Notion and Evernote to try and get better organized. Oh, and Zoom's a big one, for online classes and study groups. I even use a language learning app on my phone to practice English in my free time. So yeah, it's a pretty diverse range of technology.

Question 9: Who helps you the most? And how?

Sample Answer: Um, that's a good question. I'd say it's probably my older sister, Sarah. She's been a huge help with my IELTS prep, actually. She's already done it, so she's got loads of experience. She doesn't just give me answers, though – she helps me understand the *why* behind things. For example, she'll go through practice essays with me and point out where my arguments are weak, or where I've strayed off topic, which is something I really struggle with. And then she’ll give me suggestions on how to improve my sentence structure and vocabulary – stuff that's really helped boost my score in the writing section. Plus, she's great for mock speaking tests. She asks me really challenging questions and gives me honest feedback, which can be a bit tough sometimes, but ultimately really helpful. Outside of IELTS, she’s just generally really supportive and keeps me motivated when I get frustrated, which happens a lot!

Question 10: What do you like best about your job?

Sample Answer: Well, it's hard to pick just one thing, really! I guess what I enjoy most is the variety. No two days are ever the same. One day I might be doing data analysis, the next I could be presenting my findings to the team, and then maybe spending the afternoon brainstorming new project ideas. It keeps me on my toes and prevents me from getting bored, which is really important for me. Plus, the people I work with are great – we have a really supportive and collaborative environment, which makes even the challenging days much more manageable.

Question 11: Do you prefer to work in the morning or afternoon?

Sample Answer: I prefer working in the morning because I feel more focused and alert. My mind is fresher, and I can get more done. In the afternoon, I tend to feel a bit tired or distracted. So I usually plan the most important tasks for earlier in the day.

Question 12: Have you changed your work before?

Sample Answer: Yes, I have. I used to work in a different field before switching to my current job. The change was a bit challenging at first, but I’m glad I made the move because I now enjoy what I do much more.

Question 13: Are you a student or do you work now?

Sample Answer: I’m currently a student. I’m studying at university and majoring in [your subject, e.g., English or Business]. It keeps me quite busy with assignments and exams. I enjoy learning, especially when the topic is interesting. I hope my studies will help me find a good job in the future.
