[04:50.43]I didn't like the job itself because it was boring.

[06:15.98]DANIELA:Yes,I did.

[06:18.07]I didn't really know what I wanted to do when I left university, so

[06:22.77]it was good to see what the different departments did.

[06:26.38] It was really practical. INTERVIEWER:It sounds interesting.

[06:29.77]DANIELA:Yes,it was. But it was very badly paid.

[06:34.08]I did the same work as other people.
