I've been working as an English teacher at ABC
university, which is one of the top schools in
Vietnam.
V'm mainly responsible for“ preparing English
lectures and dealing with different types of
students on a daily basis. | consider it to be a
financially rewarding career as | can make
much more money than an average worker,
which helps me to not only cover my bills® but
also save extra money" each month. And you
know what, | love the working environment as
well - | mean, my coworkers and manager are
so friendly and nice as they are always willing
to give me a hand® dealing with my work
problems.
However, honestly speaking, it is a challenging
line of work”. | mean, | have a hectic schedule
as | have to sit in front of a computer screen
all day long” to correct my student essays and
meet deadlines. That's why my colleagues
and | often take part in recreational acti
when we get off to relax and forget about life
for awhile.

Ok, so I'd like to describe a time when | quit my job and started a new career, and that was
about 10 years ago. So at the time I was working as an engineer for a large construction
company but | had started to become a ick and tired of the way | was treated by my
superiors. You know, although | got along great with most of my colleagues, | felt that my boss
didn't value all my hard work and dedication to the company, and in addition to this, because
it was a construction company, | had to spend a lot of time in various workplaces where the
conditions were sometimes quite harsh. Another factor that contributed to my decision to
quit was because | knew that there was very little chance to get promoted in tl
le
company.
So after quite some time deciding whether to quit my job or not, | decided to throw chance
to the wind and have faith that | would find another, better job. Something that | had thought
about every now and then was having a go at teaching English. So | immediately enrolled in
an English teaching course so that | could familiarize myself with the knowledge necessary to
be a good teacher. | then emailed an English Language center in Vietnam that I knew about
through a contact of mine and we discussed the details of a teaching position that | would go
on to start a couple of months later. You know, initially | was really nervous about quitting my
job and pursuing a new career in teaching, but after the first few months of living in a foreign
country and gaining some valuable teaching experience, | never looked back. This was a great
opportunity for me to broaden my horizons and | feel that this was a life changing experience.

Ok, so when I was young | wasn't sure about what I wanted to be when I got older, but
every now and then | did think about having a go at working in business, or becoming
a businessman. And, eventually, when I left school and went to university to broaden
my horizons, | realised that being a businessman was actually my dream job. Actually
there aren't any qualifications that are necessary to become a successful businessman,
take a look at Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates for example, but | think it is a good idea
to get a degree and an MBA from a reputable university to give you a solid foundation
for your career. | think that there are quite a few jobs available in business, though
many businessmen prefer to start their own companies instead of working forsomeone
else, however, starting your own business requires a lot of dedication and faith in such
a harsh and competitive business environment like in most countries today. But if you
want some experience working for someone else before starting your own business,
then there are always many jobs available for people with business qualifications,
though the job market can be quite competitive so a contact in a company where you
want to apply for a job is always of great value.
So there are a couple of reasons why this is my ideal job, but the first reason is because
I've always loved the idea of working in a professional workplace, and the idea of
being able to get promoted and climb the ladder within a company. And the second
ess so that I can be
reason is because, eventually | really want to start my own bu:
my own boss, and have a more flexible work-life balance. Also, | have a few really
great business ideas that | think could be a real goldmine in the future!
