Hi, my name is Nev and I'm from Canada. My question for today is, what odd jobs have you had?
Well, I guess it greatly depends on what you consider to be odd. But in my case, I'd say that it was a job for a Chinese company. I used to live in China for some time, and I found a part-time job that required me to record certain sentences using my phone.
So I would just have to read random sentences and record them on my phone. That was the job. And that doesn't sound bad, right? But the odd part is that the sentences were in broken English. So I would read and record sentences that didn't make much sense. I mean, sometimes they did, but sometimes it was just random words. So I thought that was pretty odd. What about you? Have you had any odd jobs or job opportunities?
