Part 1

Câu hỏi: Do you work or are you a student?

I am currently an accountant of a Vietnam company. This is the most stable of all the jobs I’ve ever had for making a living. In the past, I was a Sales Executive at a Finance company with high pressure and volume of work.

Câu hỏi: What do you like/dislike about your job?

Well, the benefit of being an architect is that you will have a lot of information and ideas to create many products for the company. The aspect of the job which I don’t like is the volume of work. I had to make many edits to get the final result to meet my boss’s requirements; however the products I make are really quality so I really like this.

Part 2

Câu hỏi:

Describe the job you hope to have in the future.

You should say:

What this job would be
Where you would work
Which qualifications you would need and
Explain why you are interested in this job.

I’ve considered a variety of occupations in the future, but none of them have been feasible for me for long owing to time constraints and circumstances. But there is one occupation that has made a lasting impression on me as an intriguing career option, and that is what I would want to discuss today.
Anyway, I’m considering becoming an International Relationship Analyst as a potential career option. There’s no denying that this is a difficult professional path to pursue, which is likely why not many individuals find it interesting as other options.
However, I believe that the world now requires many more qualified international relationship analysts since the world is ever-changing. The current scenario is far more unstable than it was even 20 years ago. That is most likely why we see so many small pockets of conflict in different regions of the world. When there is no conflict, however, the larger countries will always try to exploit the smaller and weaker countries economically and culturally. Fortunately, a skilled international relations analyst may assist the globe in resolving these difficulties by properly comprehending the dynamics of international relations and establishing new channels of efficient communication. Furthermore, rather than concentrating on their differences, his or her responsibility would be to identify areas where countries may work.
By the way, this prospective profession option of mine will not only assist countries to eradicate their disparities, but it will also help me have a deeper knowledge of other groups’ and ethnicities’ traditions, cultures, and lifestyles.
Anyway, I’m interested in this job because I sincerely want to make a difference in the world by bringing individuals from completely opposed ends together in harmony. Furthermore, this profession would allow me to travel to other places, something I have always desired to do.

Part 3

Câu hỏi: What changes in employment have there been in recent years in your country?

There has been a rejuvenation of the “entrepreneurial spirit” in my country: more and more people decide to go freelance or become involved in starting their own businesses. The “start-up” community is now more alive than ever, even college students create their own network of contacts and launch their start-up businesses while studying. Even though there is a high failure rate of start-ups, people nevertheless are starting to take the risk and put their ideas into work.
