      Answer Example

      "I worked in management for several years, interviewing and hiring, and often lent my services to job fairs, coaching on how to write a strong CV and deliver a good interview. Job coaching has always been a passion of mine. At a certain point I started feeling some dissatisfaction in my management career, and closely examined what would offer me the most job satisfaction, and that's when I realised coaching and being a mentor is where I most thrived, and that's what has led me here today."
