JB #4 Ss are shown a sample response to the job posting that completes the application task: I am an English teacher. I work for a local college and teach English composition, which is teaching first-year college students how to conduct research and write college-level essays for their classes. I have bachelor’s and master’s degrees in English, and I specialized in early religious art and literature for my Ph.D. I have years of advanced training at the university level and have taught in higher education for a decade. When I am not teaching, I love to cook traditional recipes. Most are from Europe, particularly Italy, but I will make anything that is unique and delicious. I also love to travel. I have been to most major places in the United States, but I want to explore Europe more as well. Eventually, I want to live in Italy and teach English. What I like most about cooking and travel is that I get to meet and learn about other people when I do both. This is what I love best about teaching, too. I meet incredible and interesting people all the time. And the bonus is, I can help them to learn new and exciting things. I help them as they work toward their personal goals in learning skills in English. It allows them to go into the world, like I love to do, and have wonderful adventures, just like I have. I don’t feel that I do anything special. I simply show people the way to discovering the amazing person they already are. That’s why I love teaching and would do it even if I weren’t being paid! (But don’t tell my boss I said that.)
