Suggestion
Interviewee: Currently, my job is … working for an energy supplier in the United Kingdom. It’s your average 9-5 Monday through Friday office job, but I’m really happy to have found something full time. I’m working in the marketing department, and so I am helping develop the company’s social media portfolio. So I spend my time creating ads to post on Facebook, or I try to interact with our customers on Twitter. Sometimes, I get asked to take pictures or assist the photographer during photo shoots, which is pretty nice. I like getting to do several different things at my job, it makes going into work a pleasure, instead of torture.
