AUDIOSCRIPT

Before I came here I worked in sales and really I found the monotony getting to me. Every day was essentially the same. So I took a complete change of direction, retrained and here I am. It’s been almost 4 years now and I can honestly say that no day is like the one before. What’s particularly rewarding is that I’m helping people who find themselves in difficult situations, due to any number of reasons... health problems, unemployment, to name just two. What’s great is that, more often than not I can make some sort of difference to their lives.

Answer = B
