The most interesting job...and the hardest job

Hi Porcospino, My most interesting job is my present job, teaching students at an elementary school. I love teaching and seeing all the different learning styles the students have. Not only do I enjoy their different learning styles, I enjoy watching their different personality and how their interact with others around them. It is a rewards position and I feel privileged to serve this bright stars of our future.

I had this job where I interviewed people face-to-face for their opinion regarding a political issues. It's great cause you got to hear people's varied opinion that reflects the true picture of the society. Sometimes it's hard to get them talking at the start but once you've gained their trust,they started talking. My last job was as a classroom teacher. Oh, I have fun with my students. Thankfully they still remember me after they were out of school having their own job and family. My present job allows me to deal with lots of people older than me and I'm beginning to love it!

Sounds like you have an interesting job of all. I like to work with people with special needs, or I can work with Children, like in the Kindergarden. I like kids, but I never have a chance to do such dream. I work in a restaurant before, and work at the kitchen. It wasn't easy, but I was there for while. I met different people, and learn a lot from them too.

My career background is administrative/secretarial in nature, though I worked in different companies and handled different tasks I was never given the opportunity to be given the exact title for the nature of job that i was exactly doing. It comes to a point that I got bored with desk job and since I learned foreign languages for fun, a friend advised me to work in the tourism industry as a Tour Guide. It is freelance in nature and one must have a third language to get more job assignments. Having a third language is a big advantage as very few Tour Guides has 3rd language skills. Tour Guiding is the most interesting job and the hardest job I ever did. Interesting in the sense that....I meet different kinds of people, different status in the society, different nationalities (however, most of them are Germans), different mentality and different culture. I give them information about my country, my people, my culture and our way of life... in the same way, I also learned a lot from my guests as they also tell me stories about their countries. When my guests leave my country, it never ends there, they commnunicate with me and they become my friends. Some of them comes back and they will request for me to be their guide again and some recommends me to their friends who will visit my country. It gives me a feeling of satisfaction for every happy guest who leaves my country. In addition, the nature of the job is traveling, sometimes a day tour, sometimes 5-day tour, sometimes 14-day tour. I accompany the guests in different tourist destinations, I am given the same meal they have, I'm given the same accommodation they have, and I get paid, and most of the time I get tips that would suffice for my day to day expenses hence my professional fee is saved. Also, in tour guiding, there is no age discrimination, the older you get in the industry the more reliable you are and more tour operators will hire your services. I could say that this is also the hardest in the sense that not all guests are the same. Individuals has different characterisctics, not everybody is nice, some are are difficult and some are nasty. I get guests with these kind of characters. I experienced one time at the airport, the guest told me "I speak English and I know the city, I don't need your services." I replied to the lady...."You paid for my services so whether you like it or not I will go with you and bring you to your hotel." The job is hard as I can not be harsh on them since they are guests and I am hosting my country. I need to give nasty reply in the nicest way. There are also guests that don't listen when I talk, some will just stare outside the window and appear not to be listening. Aside from guest characters, there are weather conditions that has to be dealt with. In the mountains, rain is frequent even if it is no longer rainy season. I experienced a huge landslide. A big portion of the mountain was ripped off and the road was blocked, as if there's a hill emerged in the middle of the road, no vehicles could pass. The mud was so slippery and we have all our luggages...we need to cross over the mountain of mud. These difficult situations I encountered were indeed challenging. I feel happy if at the end of the tour I was able to please the difficult guests and after coming down from the mountain, everybody is safe and satisfied.

every job should me challenging, because without challenging job you can't be able to do any thing. and all jobs are same their is no deference in any job. may be the salary is deference so what, but job must be challenging.
