How to Say ‘What kind of work are you interested in?’ in Traditional Chinese
你對哪一類工作有興趣？
nǐ duì nǎ yī lèi gōng zuò yǒu xìng qù
[nee dway nah ee lay gong-dzwaw yoe shing-chyoo]
💬 Usage Tip: Chinese puts the topic before [有興趣]: [你對哪一類工作有興趣？] = 'You toward what kind of work have interest?' Reuse the frame as [你對哪一類產業有興趣？]
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: This is a good networking question because it's open-ended but still focused. It sounds more thoughtful than asking directly what job someone wants.
