    I grew up in ankara city in turkey. when I finished my high school I know what I wanted to do. I wanted to be an english teacher and for that I spend of my time so much. I graduated from mehmet akif ersoy high school and now I study at selçuk university. My faculty is communıcation faculty and my department radio, television and cinema. I want to work in a big company. I know a big company offers big opportunıtıes to me. In a big company I can be a special woman. I always want to be self-confidence person. I know ıt takes time so much but ıf you have some dreams you can do what you want to do. Sometimes I write complex sentences but I know christina understand me. Even my mom wants to I am english teacher but I don' t wanna doing one work. I guess one person can do work more than one. I went to a language course but really ıt is not requires. I wanna be a speaker and english teacher at the same time. Because I like both works. To sum up, firstly I should passed exam for erasmus after that I can scream like "giye your hand world." I hope my dreams come true.

    I grew up in Taipei City in Taiwan . When I finished college I knew what I wanted to do . I wanted to study in the U.S. and that was it . So I enrolled in a M.A. TESOL program at Eastern Michigan University .
    Later on , I decided to start teaching English because I realized that English is an universal communication .
    The message of this program convinced me to take action . It helped me to arrive where I am now . That's why I'm very excited about the possibility to work with you . I'd love to help my English learners with new approaches and make their lives easier . The right mindset with the right way can make a HUGE difference . And I am eager to be a part of it . Thank you .

    Small story:I was born 35 years ago in Leningrad. From the age of 6 I've been interested in programming. I also like creating and solving problems.
    My initial plan was to graduate from a Law school as well as to be trained as a software developer. Upon my graduation from the law school, I lost my father who used to be a great support to me and my mother. As my mother got paralyzed about 30 years ago after a case of severe pneumonia and couldn't help herself on her own ever since, I'm feeling very responsible for her. Next to caring for my mother I am happily married and have a son.
    In my previous career as a corporate lawyer I've been settling complex corporate conflicts in more than 140 trials only 2 of which I'd lost. I naively thought though that correcting the law mistakes would make the world around me a little better.
    I've been involved in thousands various projects (costing me sometimes lots of sleepless nights), one of which I can be truly proud of.
    I have helped to build a factory. This is the only factory built in the last 10 years in the city center consisting of nine floors of waste-free production. I was the project manager of this project. I've been working in the sector for the last seven years before I've started realizing that I'd reached the top.
    In my mind there are two ways I can go now. The first way is to go and work for and with the crooks just because they have money and problems with law. They need knowledgeable lawyers to help them out. The second way is to work as a Manager for someone else's business which I've done a lot in the past. Both ways are somewhat similar. The first way contradicts my worldview and I am fed up with the second one. I do not like any of these two.
    So I think it is now high time to turn the page and do what I've wanted to do for a long time.

    I grew up in Thailand. When I finished university I know what I wanted to do. I wanted to go to U.S.A🇺🇸 for travel and study. So I decided to start learning English by myself because I realized that English is an universal communication. I have to use it for relationship with my bf .
    Thank you 🙏🏼 Christina. This video is very helpful.😘

    i´m Brenda Sanchez, from Mexico City, when i was a kid i started teaching spanish to the cleaning ladies who didn't know how to write and read in Spanish. I really felt very happy when i saw and listened to them reading and writing. I never thought of becoming an English teacher. I finished my studies, and suddenly somebody offered to me the opportunity of working in a kindergarten and primary school, I accepted it, and since then, I've been teaching english, for 19 years now.

    Another option might be to start in the present to cut to the chase.
    I suggest 4 steps : My name / My job (present) / My career (past) / My current plan (Future objective).

    My name is Erjan and I am 30 years old. I grew up in Bishkek, capital of Kyrgyz Republic. When I finished high school, I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to work in a big company, but that was all. In 2010 I started my career as a waiter in a small catering company - Alexcatering. Our team was strong and we were able to achieve all targets settled by our manager. I was enjoying working as a waiter, but it is important for me to keep my career in a growing position. I’ve got reception position in in a Holiday hotel in Bishkek. I’ve learned Front Desk agent skills and a night managers skills as well and it was useful for me. I remember that after one year, The Jumeirah was going to come to our country. I prepared myself for this interview and I was hired for a butler’s position. I was so happy, that I will finally work in a big company such as Jumeirah. I remember during one and a half month we got different kind of trainings. Well during my career in Jumeirah Company I’ve learned so many new things, well after 2 years I was promoter as a Sales Advisor in a corporate office. In September 2017, exactly after 3 years, I came back to Kyrgyzstan. Here in Kyrgyzstan, I’ve continued my career in a hotel sphere. I am working as a front desk manager in a Blok hotel. ( please correct me if I have mistakes) :)

    When I was a student i focused on my studies but I didn't have enough exposure about my future. But when I enrolled into Bachelor degree in civil engineering i had enough confident to set up my goal that i wanted to become a quality control engineering in a reputed organization like this company so today I'm interested to grab this opportunity to fulfill my knowledge and improve my skills. Thank you

    I totally go along with the video. It has taken me a lot of time to understand and/or admit it, but I do really think now that the best way to engage people, whatever the type of audience you talk to, teams, bosses, clients, stakeholders, and even recruiters, is to tell a story. We do not learn the story telling at school, we are trained on math and rational. This pattern of past, present and future is simple but easy to carry out. Thank you for it.

    I’ve always been attentive to details, I noticed errors here and there all the time, and I actually couldn’t stand a feeling that I was surrounded by such an imperfect product beings.
    One day I found out that there was an position, called Software Engineer. Before that, I had a very vague idea, what IT industry in fact was. I imagened a huge office with some bearded guys, typing code all day long on their laptops, barely speaking. But when I have reassured myself, I desired to take place in that opportunity. And, I believe, Quality Assurance is the top notch, where I am able to apply my skills and abilities.
    Now I am looking forward to obtain an opportunity to improve my skills, to be able to accept bigger responsibilities, and apply new knowledge to help my company create better products.
