Explain your job like you're talking to a 4 year old

[Cryingatthegym]

Tonight my 4 year old asked me what I do for work. I told him I help people fix problems with their homes.

What would you tell my 4 year old you do? And can anyone guess what I do for a living?!

I help bosses find out what’s really happening in their company. Not what they’re told is happening.

I teach pre school so easy to describe. We had a theme of parents occupations a few weeks ago and I had this tricky situation with 18 kids. Funny thing is some kids had no clue about what their parents did and never asked. I find that strange. Some said things like 'Mummy works on a computer sending messages' which is a fair description. But some literally had no idea at all.

Money laundering expert

Nuclear power station person?

Ermmm

Easiest to say ; i fix computers
Could say; I help people answer questions
Could also say; gather all sorts of information and shows people what it means.

Bit that's not what I actually do.
.my job is a bit vague really.

Auditor?

Hahaha!

You're very close actually - I manage a complaints team for a housing association.

Retired now, not sure it’s a topic for a 4 year old but I used to help people look after their money and help them to make things easier for their family if they got ill or died.

I make sure all the doctors and nurses can get all the things they need to look after their patients and I save lots and lots of money.

in a few years when you go to big school, you will do some really cool science activities/ experiments. I get those activities ready for the children.

In our news organisation I have to check and correct the work, news stories, that our writers and journalists do to make sure there are no mistakes and that is is not biased towards one particular section of society or set of people.
Sometimes I have to completely rewrite their work both to improve it and make sure it is safe and legally correct before it is allowed to be sent out to our readers. I have the final say in whether this happens.

News editor?

Correct, except I will add anti-money laundering expert . I work in regulatory compliance.

I write stories and I help other people to write their stories.

Yup

Snap! 🙂

Sorry replied to wrong post

I count people’s teeth and make sure they are all ok

I make people listen to me all day and answer questions then hope they implement what I've said

Not bad — Chief sub-editor.

Remind me to book afternoon check ups.

I help blind people do their own college work

An actuary or population health analyst? Underwriter?

Sometimes when people can't agree on something, I try to explain why my person is right. If that doesn't work me and the person working on the other side both present our cases to another person, and they decide who is right.

Broker, lawyer, investment specialist?
