　　My job offers me decent salary, good opportunity and enable me keep touch in the latest technology in computer science. I enjoy challenge in my job.

　　4、Is that a popular choice of career in your country?

　　Yes. Its a demanding job. People do this job get well paid in general.

　　5、Would you say your job is very important?

　　Work is not important; its simply a means to make money so that I wont starve to death and that I would have a roof over my head. Funnily enough, I love to work. In fact, I love to be occupied with things, whether or not they are work related.

　　6、How do you think your subject will help you in the future?

　　It wasnt my first choice. I wanted to major in administrative services management, but my mom thought I should do pharmacy because it is safer. I agreed with her, but I foud the business management stuff more preferable.

　　7、How did you get that job?

　　Looked through help wanted ads in local newspaper, stopped by businesses and asked if theyre accepting employment applications, typed a resume and emailed it to a bunch of places. I was hired by emailing a resume directly to my employer.

　　8、Is it easy to find work doing your job?

　　Well.......since my job isnt the best in the world I can find crappy jobs anywhere. Mainly manual labor......But, if I have to I can work for my dad at his bar. But I dont want to do that. We are too much alike and I have a feeling I would be looking for another crappy job anyway

　　9、Where do people get information about jobs, from newspaper or from TV?

　　There are many jobs advertised in Jobcentres. The computers would be full of jobs.

　　If I narrowed the search down to local towns, I could usually find about 20, of which maybe 2 I was qualified to do. My partner has been looking at the local rag recently and the situations vacant page is about an inch long.

　　10、Are there other ways for people to get information about jobs?

　　I think online-recruitment is the most reliable way to find recruiting information. The agencies are there to make money for themselves tweaking your CV while promising a glorious job for you.but there were never any jobs to begin with. They made money out of YOU.

　　11、Which do you enjoy more, communicating with people at work, or the work itself?

　　The latter I think. started working three weeks ago and I would not say that I am shy but I find it hard to know what to say to them. The words I use the most are Morning, bye everyone and see you tomorrow. I dont really have conversations with them..They dont even bother talking to me too since I came in, some of them just stare at me when they pass by..I dont know what to do and what to say!!

　　12、Which do you enjoy more, working or studying?

　　Work. At least youre doing something rather than just sitting there. Oh yeah, you make money too. Nobody pays you to study though it may come in handy later on. You learn a lot of things which are out of the text-book.

　　13、What do you like about your work?

　　I work 25 hrs a week but make as much as Im working full time. I have 4 hours in the afternoon to do personal stuff, I am off on snow days and holidays and get paid for it, and can spend time with my kids. But the position is not what Im looking for in my future.

　　14、Do you think its very important for people to do a job that they like?

　　Definitely. Passion is a kind of motivation. I have a fear that I will never be able to retire so I would like to find a job that I can live with for the rest of my life and never have any problems. I dont wanna get burned out soon after I start working.

　　15、What other job do you think you would enjoy, apart from your present job?

　　My dream job would be the president of the United States, and not only that, but Id love to be the president with the majority of Congressional members and S. court justices agreeing with me. But even if both branches were against me, nothing could be a better job than being the president.
