--description--

The Present Simple tense is used to describe habitual or usual actions. However, when you are talking about past roles or experiences, like in an interview, you should use the Past Simple tense.

The Past Simple tense often involves changing verbs: is becomes was for singular subjects and are becomes were for plural subjects. For example:

• I am a teacher in the present becomes I was a teacher for past experiences.

• They are engineers changes to They were engineers when speaking about the past.
