Band 8.0 Sample Answer | PART 2
Describe the perfect job for you.
You should say:
- what is this job?
- why did you choose this job?
- what are the skills required for it?
Paperwork and daily meetings which last for 2 hours everyday have always been my nightmare ever since I started thinking about my future career. It’s an unavoidable reality that you have to deal with once choosing an office life, which is why I find myself lucky to be able to land a job at XYZ – where I have been working in Marketing department since graduating and absolutely enjoy it.
Our company is a global brand specializing in providing world-class and highly exclusive services for premium customers around the globe. Thanks to the high-end market and targeted clients, we have a privilege to work with high-profile people across industries. Our team is small but it doesn’t affect our productivity. In fact, due to the limited number of members, we know each other pretty well, which enhances mutual understanding, collaboration and flexibility. Instead of having long-hour meetings, we do a 15-minute session every morning to keep everyone in the loop about what others are doing and the progression of ongoing projects so people may offer help if any. It is not only efficient but makes things fresh and simple, which I truly appreciate. I had worked here as an intern before going official; therefore, I had time to adapt to a new environment, get used to unfamiliar concept I have never encountered in school as well as sharpen other skills. Thanks to the period of time dedicated to many extra curriculum activities and part-time jobs while studying at school, my interpersonal skill has significantly improved along with some experience in event management and problem-solving ability, which has come in handy and contributed greatly to my performance at work. Other than that, a positive, can-do attitude and creativity are necessary traits for anyone who wants to succeed in marketing in particular and all kinds of jobs in general.
