It's really difficult to explain what my job is to people.
I think my parents still, after many years, don't really understand what I do.
When I have to describe what a friend does to another friend,
sometimes I feel like I sound really stupid because I do n't exactly know how to explain it.
Today on Office English, we're talking about how to make what you do clear to other people.
Hello and welcome to Office English, your podcast guide to the world of work.
