× I'm a student, I have recently completed my HSC exam and now I'm pursuing bachelors degree.
✓ I'm a student. I have recently completed my HSC exam and now I'm pursuing a bachelor's degree.
Run-on sentence and missing article: Separate into two sentences for clarity and add the indefinite article 'a' and the possessive apostrophe in 'bachelor's degree'. Use present continuous 'I'm pursuing' is correct for current action.
× I don't actually work as I'm a student so I am currently focusing on my studies.
✓ I don't actually work because I'm a student, so I am currently focusing on my studies.
Conjunction choice and comma needed: Use 'because' instead of 'as' to clearly express reason in spoken English and add a comma before 'so' to connect clauses correctly.
× Yes, uh, definitely it is, uh, my colleagues are really, uh, friendly and supportive.
✓ Yes, definitely it is. My colleagues are really friendly and supportive.
Run-on with fillers: Split into two sentences for clarity and remove unnecessary filler words. Present simple 'are' is correct for general facts.
× Also the behavior of my boss towards us are really warm and great.
✓ Also, my boss's behavior towards us is really warm and great.
Subject-verb agreement and possessive: The subject is 'behavior' (singular), so use 'is' not 'are'. Use the possessive form 'my boss's behavior' for natural English word order.
× So it's a great experience working in this place.
✓ So it's a great experience to work in this place.
Gerund vs infinitive: Both 'working' and 'to work' can be used, but 'to work in this place' fits better after 'experience' in this context. Either is acceptable; the infinitive clarifies purpose.

✓ Yes, I love the place. I would love to work here until I get a better job with a better salary.

× As I am doing bachelors in economics so I intend to get a job in banks or in the management sectors of some company private company.

Articles and word order: Add 'a' and apostrophe in 'bachelor's', capitalize 'Economics' as a subject, use singular 'a bank' for a job in banking, use 'the management sector' or 'a management role' and correct word order 'private company'. Remove redundancy.
