( используя эти слова, вы должны рассказать историю о том, как нашли и потеряли работу. История в свободной форме, со смыслом )

Example:One day I realized that I needed a job, so I started to look through job adverts in a newspaper. I found a good option, called this company and they asked me to write and send my CV. I did it and went to apply for a job. When I got to the company, I was asked to fill in an application form and right after that I was interviewed. I signed the contract. I had my probationary period for 3 months and got my first salary the next day. I was working very hard and did my best, so I was promoted in a week. But in a month I shouted at my boss, because he was impolite with my colleagues and shortly after that I was fired. That’s my job story.
