2)   Read the article: Nightmare jobs
Leo: an actor
What's the worst thing that's ever happened in your job?
So many bad things have happened - but I think my worst moment was when I read my first bad review in the newspaper. They wrote terrible things about me, and I was so upset. Now I don't read my reviews any more.
Have you ever done any other jobs?
Oh yes, it's hard to make a living as an actor. So I've done lots of part-time jobs over the years. For example, I've worked in a shop, sold ice cream on the beach and handed out publicity flyers in the street.
What's the worst job you've ever done?
The worst job I've ever done was at an egg-packing factory.
Working conditions are terrible - you stand for hours at the end of a conveyor belt, putting eggs into boxes. You can't have a break, and if you want to go to the toilet, you have to ask for permission. And worst of all, the smell was disgusting -I've never eaten an egg since then.
Polly: a vet
What's the worst thing that has ever happened in your job?
Probably the dog that bit me.  It wasn't a big one - I don't mind the big ones. The small ones are the worst.  It gave me a very nasty bite.
Have you ever done any other jobs?
Yes, I did various jobs when I was a student.
One summer I did fruit-picking in France, Spain and Greece.
What's the worst job you've ever done? 
I worked as an au pair for a rich family in New York.  I never had a day off and I had to do everything - cooking, cleaning, shopping­ and look after their horrible children.  I left after two weeks and managed to get a job as a waiter in an Italian restaurant.
