Can you help me correct two sentences? Thank you

I was lucky to have two internships before I graduated from my college, I got an HR intern in HSBC and another marketing intern in Carrefour. Through these two internships, I realize that marketing is my passion while HR is, in comparison, a little bit boring.

Thanks. Is it ok to say "HR one" because it sounds a little weired for me. And what about using "monotonous" to replace "boring"?

How about "With hands-on experience in each field, I now know that Marketing is my passion" and don't say anything about HR. The person hiring you in Marketing may be best friends or married to someone in HR.

In an interview, if you talk negatively (eg boring, monotonous), the interviewer usually starts to think of you as a negative person.

I know. I won't use "boring" or other negative words in my interview. Thank you for kindly reminding me.

Thank you for reminding me. But I won't use these sentences in my future interview. Instead, I am writing an example of a topic that students should try different jobs before they decide which job they will do in the longterm
