Band 8.0 Sample Answer

Everyone has their dream job, and I am no exception. Since I was a little boy, it has been my dream to work as a human resources manager in a multinational company. What makes me want to have the job is that I am fond of interacting with other people, then working inthe workplacewill give me the chance to deal withhuman relationships, not to mention that a teacher from my university complimented my leadershipskillsand he said that I can organize people to work together and lead them toboost the productivity, which is one of the reasons driving me to the job.

Generally, working in human resources field is likelyto be well paid, besides it is also challenging for me to find work in the area because the position will require a high level of qualification and a large amount of experience. Thus, to prepare for my career, I have gained a bachelor inbusiness administration,and I am about to do a master degree in the field, in which I will specialize in human resources management. Apart from my studies, at the time I was doing my bachelor, I also took part in severalvoluntary work.By doing that, I have got plenty of valuable experience such as social skills and business knowledge as well. I hope that all of this can help me to take my ideal job easier.

Part 3

If there are a limited number of jobs available who should be given priority, young people or older people with more experience?

I believe that it should be a young worker, Although young people cannotpossess a rich source of knowledgelike the older people do, they arefull of energy, they can motivate other coworkers to work harder, which could have a good effect on the company. Additionally, lately, older workers tend totake early retirement, then the job vacancies are always available for young people.

What are the disadvantages of working for someone else?

The first things is, people working for someone else will be put under a lot of pressure. For instance, the workers will haveheavy workloadand always have to work tomeet the deadlines, which is stressful. In addition, working for someone means you will have less time to relax and be with your family.
