: Sample Answer

I am yet to finish my graduation and that’s why I am not engaged in any full-time job. However, I worked for a foreign company as a part time survey officer and was really impressed with the workplace they offered

That was a 6 story modern building and they owned it. I worked in 3rd floor and the office was pretty neat and friendly for the employees. The cubicles were large enough and the friendly environment of this office gave a very positive impression about this company. There were many foreigners and local employees there and most of them were a business consultant, admin and team leads. I personally worked with a team who were specialised in data mining and database designing. There were many software engineers who were engaged in developing software

I knew about his office from a bulletin board of my university that offered different important noticed for the students and faculty. I noticed the job offer and was interested about it. Since I worked for this company for more than 8 months; I know it from my first-hand experience

To me, this was an ideal working environment that maintained a good balance among the working environment, facilities and options for recreations and study. A whole floor was dedicated to the library and reference works which are really rare for many companies. To surmise, I found it to be a very pleasant and friendly workplace where employees are self-motivated to work for the company
