3. What are your job responsibilities?

The people I work with are so friendly and supportive, but the job itself is very stressful

I feel like it’s a bit of a dead-end job at times, but it can be a lot of fun

What Time Do You Start Work?

People might ask you one of the following questions:

•

  I have to be at work at nine

  I get to work at eight-thirty
  
• 
  I finish work at five
  
• 
  I stop work at five-thirty
  

You might also hear people ask these questions:

•

These both mean the same thing: What time do you finish work?
