ESLPod.com presents "Interview Questions Answered," episode two.

Although I've worked successfully in sales for the past several years, my education and my interests are more closely related to marketing.
I'd like to find a position that would allow me to use my knowledge and skills to do challenging work.
This position would also give me more responsibility than I had at my last company and more promotion opportunities.
I think that my skills and abilities are a good match for this job.
In our second sample answer, we have a slightly different situation.
In our first answer, the person was leaving their job because they wanted a better job.
Here, the main reason this person is leaving his job is because his company had decided to eliminate, or fire, or get rid of, some of their employees.
He says, "The primary reason I left" the company "was because the company went through a restructuring."
The word restructuring, "restructuring," is a popular word in American businesses that means that the company decided to reorganize-to become more efficient.
Usually this means that they fire or get rid of some of their people.
In this answer, the person says that his "position"-his job-"was eliminated," meaning they no longer were going to have his job at the company-they got rid of it.
So, this is a polite way-a nice way of saying that I was fired.
However, you can be fired-you can be removed from your job because you do a bad job or, in this case, because the company changed itself and got rid of your job.
So, this person is saying, "Well, I didn't do a bad job. The company restructured and they eliminated"-got rid of-"my job."
He then continues by saying the good things that he did at his job-why he did a good job, or evidence that he did a good job.
He says, "Up to that point," meaning before the company restructured and eliminated his position-that point in time, or up to that time, he "had a very good track record."
A track record, "track record," (two words) is your history of what you did on a job.
