A) Marketing Interview

e.g. After searching out the jobs page of “The Times” I came

across an advertisement that really excited me.

1. It was for a trainee marketing assistant with a large

2. food company. After applying, I was invited me for

3. an interview almost straightaway. Following from a

4. brief private interview, I was led into a room which containing

5. twenty or so other candidates in. We

6. were put into groups of four and given off three new

7. products to launch: a soft drink, an ice cream

8. and some chocolates. We have had two hours

9. to discuss and choose on names, packaging

10. and advertising plans before we presenting our

11. ideas to the other groups. I really enjoyed it and

12. forgot it I was in an interview. Fortunately,

13. the interviewers must have thought I had a something

14. as they asked me back for a second interview, after

15. which I was offered to work with them.

B) My First Job

e.g My first job was delivering newspapers in a small city.

My route wasn’t very far from where I lived in, so it

1. was too easy to finish the job quickly every day. Having said

2.that, I don’t mean to imply that it was always been easy.

3. Delivering papers during the winter was especially challenging.

4. As it was dangerous to cycle on snowy ice roads, I have had to

5. walk through the deep snow – many of the subscribers didn’t

6. clear the snow from their garden paths. To make the matters

7. worse, cold winds would turn my face and fingers blue in a

8. matter of minutes. On Sundays, the papers were very thick; the

9. full bag it weighed heavily on my ten-year-old shoulder.

10. Collecting money every one week from my customers was a

11. chore I didn’t particularly enjoy. On the other hand, I usually

12. received a small tip from most of the people, and if I didn’t

13. collect the paper money, my boss wouldn’t have pay me at all.

14. The house I hated collecting from was one that had a large,

15. vicious dog there. Although its owner would be hold it by its

16. collar, I was always afraid when I looked at its pointed teeth.

17. This is something about my first job I’ll never forget.
