What kind of training does one need to go into this type of job?

For example, in your case, what was your educational background?

Well, I did a degree in French at Nottingham. After that, I did careers work in secondary schools, like the careers guidance people here in the university.
我在法国诺丁汉取得学位。之后我在中学工作,就像在大学里做就业指导。
Then I went into local government because I found I was more interested in the administrative side than progressed on to universities. So there wasn't any plan and there was no specific training.
