"I recently visited the United States, and as they do in that culture, the people there asked me what I did for a living. When I told them I worked as a Work Coach for the Civil Service, most of them asked what that was. Their system is structured quite differently than ours, so I explained quickly to them that I work for the Crown, as a branch of government called the Civil Service that serves the common good, from pensions to welfare, and that I help those who are unemployed find work."

Your interviewer is aiming to assess how skilled a communicator you are. Remember, they will evaluate your commutation skills in how well you communicate your answer. Be succinct and clear, and consider your audience. Communicate your answer in a way that you feel they would relate to while expressing how adaptable you are to communicate with those who have different communication styles than you.
