After I left school, I got a degree in nursing, and I've been working as a staff nurse for almost 10 years now. Currently, I'm working at Manilamed, one the best medical centres here in Manila. As a staff nurse, I'm responsible for lots of different things such as preparing patients for examinations and surgery, observing and recording their conditions, measuring and recording their vital signs and weight, administering medications, preparing rooms, cleaning and disinfecting equipment and instruments, or assisting doctors during surgery. Plus, every day I perform a wide range of tasks to provide care to my patients and resolve their problems. For instance, I feed patients who cannot feed themselves, dress patients with physical challenges, help ambulatory patients walk, turn bedridden patients to prevent pressure sores, sometimes I have to transport patients. You see, there's no such thing as a routine day in a hospital, and you just never know what to expect. It's a very tough job, but I like it.

I've been working as an English teacher for about 15 years now, and for the last 10 years I've specialized exclusively in teaching IELTS. And I absolutely love what I do. Of course, sometimes I feel tired and emotionally drained, especially when I have to mark my students' essays until midnight, but I just don't see myself doing anything other than teaching

It's been a few years now since I started working full time. I work in Experiential Marketing and I absolutely love it because it's the type of job that really lets you utilize all of your talents. One day you can be making a budget, and the next day you can be learning to use a drill because you need to drill holes in the floor. It's very versatile. It's for people who don't want to be the same as the day before. (by Elena Korobskaya, a band 9 scorer, watch a video on our Instagram)

Currently, I'm in my senior year of high school. And I’m graduating this year. Now I'm working hard in order to get passing grades 'cause I'm planning to study abroad. I want to major in Journalism 'cause I've always had a strong passion for writing, and I don't see myself doing anything else. And there's a great two-year diploma Journalism program at Seneca college in Canada. So if everything is ok, 9 months from now I'll be studying there. And hopefully not online (You can find a video featuring this answer on our YouTube channel called IELTS Speaking Assistant, playlist SAMPLE ANSWERS)

I neither work nor study. At the moment I have a Bachelor's degree, and I'm planning to apply for a Master's degree as soon as I meet the requirements of the program. It seems I've missed the boat for the fall semester, so I'll try not to miss the deadline for applying for the winter one.

Neither. Having worked for many years in the field of Advertising, I made a decision to make a career change and now that I have completed a program, I want to pursue a career in IT.

Currently I'm unemployed. Half a year ago the company I had been working at for many years started massive layoffs. One day I was made redundant among others. Unfortunately, I'm still looking for a job which would be in line with my qualifications and experience, but it's not an easy task.
