SAMPLE PARAGRAPH: "THE TYPE OF WORK I'M BEST AT"

The job I liked best was writing cartoon strips for a children's comic paper called The Beano, a job I did before I was 20. What I liked most was being creative all day, knowing that young people liked reading our stories. Using my language skills to make something new was very satisfying work. It let me reach an audience of more than 2 million readers. Of course, I didn't have to solve any big problems or fix anything, I didn't have to get dirty in our nice big office, and I didn't have to make important decisions or be anyone's boss. Inside our huge company, I liked working as part of a small team of artists and technicians and following the production systems to publish The Beano. After a while, I left that job to make more money, but I never forgot being a small part of the publishing industry in the UK. It made me appreciate having freedom and creativity at work.quotesdbs_dbs17.pdfusesText_23
