Speaking exercise
I cried the last time I said goodbye to them. The work is very horrible, it’s so busy. I listed 50 lists for my work to handover. Every day, every week, every month and every year. I worked there for 10 years, there’s no pressure, no one judges you about your economy and fashion. I’m tired from this job, I cannot find any opportunity from the company.
I had an online interview yesterday noon. They asked me “why do you want to leave this company, however I worked for 10 years”. The company is like a factory, it’s painting cars.
