黃金面試問題 Q20 Describe the best job you ever had. (請描述一份你做過的最棒工作。)
你可能會這樣答:
A: I've enjoyed every job I've had, but the best was probably teaching English to children in South America. The children were amazingly responsive, and the whole experience of living in South America was incredible. Living and teaching in such a different culture was fantastic. It was also my first overseas teaching experience, so I learned a lot working there. The experience also made me realize that I really loved teaching.
I used to work as a sales clerk for woman's wear, and that is about the best job I've ever had. I like it because I love fashion and I enjoy working with people. I think if you are interested in what you do, you will be more motivated.
