Do you work or study?
Describe the company or organization you work for?
Well, The company I work for is an English center called Rainbow. It is situated in the heart of the city. RBC teaches English to students from elementary to high school, as well as teaches IELTS courses to those who need it. Besides, RBC also provides services such as translation, visa support, and study abroad consulting. What are your responsibilities? My responsibilities are advising the course , greeting and directing visitors, answering phone inquiries and handling complaints in a polite. Ensuring the confidentiality and security of files and filing systems Coordinating schedules reports and ensuring that everyone is kept current of necessary company news and information In addition, I am responsible for receiving tuition fees. Why did you choose your job? Because of the epidemic, I decided to return to my hometown. I am a workaholic so I decided to look for a job, and this was the best job at that time. So I chose to work here, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. What do you like about your job?/ Why did you choose to do that type of work? I guess it’s mainly because of job flexibility . To be more specific, this job offers me alternatives to the typical nine-to-five work schedule, enabling me to find a better balance between work and life. Besides, I guess the thing I like most about this job is the salary. I make what I’d consider is a lucrative income, which means not only is it enough to cover my bills, but there’s also some extra to spend on whatever I want. What do you dislike about your job? Sometimes I feel dead tired when sitting in front of a computer screen all day long to deal with an overwhelming workload. I mean, I’ve led a sedentary lifestyle which really exerts a negative effect on my physical & mental health & I have had a very hectic schedule, which always keeps me up to my ears in deadlines. Down the road, I am yearning for a job that involves dealing with people & makes me feel less stressed. Is there some other kind of work you would rather do? Actually, I don’t think I would be able to dedicate myself to any other job besides this one. In fact, for me, it’s the experiences and opportunities I can gain that matter. Where do you want to see yourself in 10 years? Well, this question pops into my mind from time to time, but to be honest, I have never managed to have an answer for it. I reckon that 10 years is such a long time and anything could happen, so it is hard to tell from now. Do you miss being a student? I surely will miss my student life once I get involved in the work culture. For me, I think when I’m a student, at least I have someone to guide me, whereas at work mostly you’ll have to guide yourself. The academic environment is more or less like a comfort zone for me, while I’m sure I’ll struggle with fitting in the working environment. What do you do after work? I normally cook dinner, relax and walk my dog. Depending on my schedule, I might have plans with friends to meet for a coffee or shopping. In summer I go to the beach for a couple of hours then return home to cook dinner. Some people say it’s better to work for yourself than be employed by a company. What’s your opinion? Well, I used to be a full-time employee & felt very stressed. To be specific, most of the time, I had a hectic schedule & was up to ears in heavy workloads to meet deadlines. Therefore, although running my own business is really challenging, I do feel far more comfortable with it.
