Q1. What is your ideal job?

It would be ideal if I can make use of my knowledge and skills, and my work benefits somebody.

I want to get a job related to children, because I like little kids very much.

I hope I can find a job where I don’t have to talk to anybody. This is because I’m not good at talking with others.
