Here is a sample question:

3. What do you enjoy most about your job?
I love the fact that every day is different and also that I can speak to so many different people about lots of different things. One day I might be doing a study plan with a student from South Korea, helping them to organise their time in England and helping them to achieve their goals. The next day I might speak to a group from France about how the education systems in our countries are different.
