Tell me about the subjects you find most interesting Do you prefer working or studying on your own or with other people? What kind of work would be ideal for you? Do you prefer mentally or physically challenging work? What kind of Environment do you enjoy studying or working in? How often do you go online to find out about something?

I’m not sure about that – let me see… That’s an interesting question. To begin with, I’m enrolling on a teaching course next month to upgrade my teaching skills and I also crave to take up learning Italian and Spanish in order to teach these languages soon. That’s a tough one! I can’t stand working in a company where everyone slacks off, because I prefer to work my fingers to the bone and do overtime, I need inspiration from my colleagues. I would also leave a dead-end job, because I’m a highflyer and I hope my career takes off very soon. I’m not sure about that, let me see… I hate manual labour, I’d rather do some paperwork, but monotonous tasks turn me off very quickly so it should be something that sharpens my skills I definitely prefer studying on my own.
