      Thanks for your submission. Good job expressing your current employment status and your previous work, but there is a small grammatical error in your answer. Here’s a corrected version of it:

      “Well, I’m currently unemployed, but I used to work as a sales officer.”

      You must use “as” after “work” when you are mentioning the job title that you used to do. Keep practicing!
