Question 4: Have you ever had a part-time job?

=> Yes, I think I have had 2 part-time jobs before I got settled into (*) my full-time teaching position.

Question 5: What kind of part-time job have you had?

Well, at first, I got a translation job where I had good chance to improve my English. Then, I worked as an assistant for a very talented and beautiful businesswoman.

Question 6: What do you consider to be most important when looking for a part-time job? (Pay / Schedule / Location etc)

That is exactly the question to ask when choosing a part-time job. I take schedule the most seriously (**) because a part-time job mustn't conflict with my studying schedule, which is my highest priority. I would never play truant from school (***) or university to go to work because that would definitely affect my academic performance (****).

 

NOTE

(*) to get settled in/into sth: ổn định với cái gì

(**) take sb/sth seriously: coi ai/cái gì là quan trọng, cần chú ý tới, cần coi trọng

(***) play truant from school: trốn học

(****) affect my academic performance: ảnh hưởng tới kết quả, thành tích học tập của tôi


"That is exactly the question to ask when choosing a part-time job." => This sentence is used as a device to get more time for thinking. It makes your response natural and gives you a few seconds to actually come up with something good to answer.
