A little bit about my job Please, correct me! I have a master's degree in construction management and civil engineering. After University I've been looking for a job for a long time. It took me about 3 months, but I found out. Now I work as an civil engineer for a construction company. Usually I prepare specifications and draft tender documents. I analyze range plans, survey reports and design projects. Sometimes I prepare cost estimates for materials, equipment, or labor to determine a project's economic feasibility. I have a full-time job. Usually I work nine-to-six. I have time for relax. When my boss leave the office, I can take time off of work, for example for taking coffee away or buying shokolad. If I'm ill, I can take some sickdays. My cheef doesn't mind it. But he is workaholick.. He spends a lot of time at work every day. So, I think that he doesn't like staying home. I dont't like working overtime. I prefer to take work home, because I have better working conditions here. When I meet deadlines, I'll be a lot of pressure at work. Sometimes it is usefull because I can work quickly. I like my job, but sometimes I think "Should I quit my job?" I like the office and collegues but there is too small salary. It's sad.

A little bit about my job

Please, correct me!

I have a master's degree in construction management and civil engineering.
After University I looked a long time for a job. It took me about 3 months, but I found one.
Now I work as a civil engineer for a construction company.
Usually I prepare specifications and draft tender documents. I analyze range plans, survey reports and design projects. Sometimes I prepare cost estimates for materials, equipment, or labor to determine a project's economic feasibility.
I have a full-time job. Usually I work nine-to-six.
I have time to relax. When my boss leaves the office, I can take time off, for example for take-away coffee or buying (chocolate?). If I'm ill, I can take some sick days. My boss doesn't mind, but he is a workaholic.. He spends a lot of time at work every day which makes me think that he doesn't like being at home.
I don't like working overtime. I prefer to bring work home, because I have better working conditions here.
When I have tight deadlines there is a lot of pressure at work. Sometimes that is good because I can work quickly.
I like my job, but sometimes I think "Should I quit?"
I like the office and colleagues but the salary is loo low. It's sad.
