Sample Answer

I am very passionate, so I love to do every type of job. But here I would like to talk about a job I would not like to do in the future. It’s a cashier and receptionist job because one of my cousins is in New Zealand and works in a hotel as a receptionist and cashier. She told me about her experience related to this job because she told me this job is very frustrating and stressful because she has to spend more than 10 hours as the receptionist and she has to put a big smile on her face to greet the guests.

She also told me she had to manage all the money according to the bills. If she gets a loss, she has to put it out of her pocket; if she has more money, she must answer to the manager and the employer. She told me it takes a lot of work to manage everything, including handling the cashier and the receptionist because sometimes she’s very busy answering the phone and making the reservation on the phone.

So I think this job is very hard for her and she told me her experience about it, so that’s why I also would not like to do this job in my future because I want to do the job which people can do by their passion and give more hard work to get success. After all, if we are happy and feel better, we can give our 100%, achieve success, and get more opportunities to be more productive in our jobs. So that’s why this is the job I would not like to do in the future.
