Let's Begin!

I’ve been working here for nearly six years.

You are interviewing a colleague about their career. The answer is true, but you must discover the question that prompted it.

Your challenge: The answer is shown above. Your job is to ask the question that would naturally produce it.

  1. Ask. Choose a natural question asking about duration, then ask a follow-up about how the job has changed.
  2. Say it aloud. Try your question as a real conversation starter, not a grammar exercise.
  3. Extend. Give a plausible alternative answer to your own question.

Extra challenge: Can you think of a second, different question that could also lead to the original answer?
