Lesson goals

By the end you will…

  • Talk about your early career with a clear timeline: past simple + accurate time markers (ago, in, when, while).
  • Turn a job memory into a professional narrative — not just a list of dates.
  • Handle past-tense questions in an interview: 'How long did you stay?', 'Why did you leave?', 'What did you learn?'
  • Extract a transferable lesson from an early job and connect it to what you do today.
