I'm an English teacher. I work for a nursery school. My job involves supporting native teachers and of course teaching English for kids from 3-5 years old twice a week. I'm responsible for all kids in school. And sometimes I have to answer a lot of questions of kids' parents. Most of my time is spent teaching English and thinking of interesting lessons which engage kids in class. Also, I have to create many funny games to attract children more. Honestly, I don't like my job much because sometimes I find it is exhausting work. Some kids are very active, they don't want to sit for long periods of time so it's hard to control them. I have to speak aloud all the time. That's the reason why I often get a sore throat and then I need take medicine. In addition, it is a dead-end job. I occasionally get bored because there will be something the same from day to day. Honestly, I'm thinking about quitting this job and finding another one soon.

I am responsible for organising, planning of office operations and procurement actions. Most of my time is spent interacting with vendors and staff on the needs of the organisation because attention to details is important to this kind of job.
I enjoy my job because it's most times challenging as I have to learn many different things on a regular basis but it's more creative and satisfying.

I'm an accountant and I work as a finance manager for a multinational company which manages facilities for corporate organizations. I have to manage my team, this means that I make recommendations for hiring and training them and also draft their job descriptions. I am also saddled with the responsibility of maintaining a motivated work force, sometimes this can be exhausting especially when the work conditions in the company are inadequate. I spend most of my time reviewing my teams' work, developing finance strategies for my company and I also ensure the business maintains a sustainable cash position at all times. I find my work quite challenging and sometimes, fascinating. It also gives me a lot of exposure which I feel is equipping me for the next phase of my career. May I mention too, that sometimes my efforts in ensuring the business runs smoothly can go thankless. Regardless of the aforementioned, i am grateful for the privilege to work for my company.
