• What your company does (briefly)
• Typical tasks/projects of a typical day (or week or month)
• How much of the day is spent on essential vs. administrative tasks
• If you do not have a typical day, describe a few different types of days or tasks or a typical project that you may work on.
• Travel, if it's a significant part of your job
• Remember that your target audience consists of young adults and career changers who probably know little about your line of work
• The best responses are ones that do not read like corporate job descriptions but instead read like "A Day in the Work Life of You"
