I got a job offer from an American recently. I accepted it because it's the kind of work I like to do. This is my first time working with Americans.
Actually, I studied Education and Public Administration in Korea. After graduating from college, I taught some middle school students as a private teacher. When I came to the US after getting married, I worked for the newspaper as a journalist translating business news from English to Korean. The boss was Korean, so I didn’t have any trouble communicating with him. After giving birth, I quit that job to care of my daughter. Staying home for almost 4 years, I couldn’t do anything to improve myself, so I often felt unsure of what I would be able to do in the US.
At present, I have time to study English and read some books as my two kids are growing up. Whenever I’ve had time to spare, I’ve practiced writing and speaking in English. In the meantime, I got a job offer from an American. She wanted me to help make her Korean blog. I've made my English resume to send to someone for the first time in my life. I’m so pleased that someone else needs me, and I’ll be rewarded for what I did. For me, working in the US means an opportunity to develop myself.
Thank you for your recording :)
