changing jobs

To hold on the work or to change it to another one is a choice of decision we might encounter once or twice in our lives, and for some people this could be a positive thing, while for others it could be a disaster. However, the final aim for every job hopper is to find an ideal job on which they can depend for their livelihood and from which they can draw satisfaction.

Working in the same type of work for one’s career lifespan has its positive underpinnings; a stable job with a steady income offers one a sense of security, especially in today’s highly competitive society, as well as the feeling of ‘togetherness’ that comes from working with the same colleagues for many years. However, on the negative side, doing the same work in the same company with the same people in the same environment may well breed a kind of lethargy, a lack of motivation or job satisfaction; it may be difficult to generate fresh zeal or energy towards work after so much time.

If one were to move frequently from one job or job area to another, it is possible to learn and gather diverse experiences from different companies and different jobs. The new working environments could turn out to be a great opportunity to show one’s talent and abilities and to gain confidence in oneself. However, new colleagues may take time to bond, and to get to know them well may prove difficult. It could also take longer to establish a rapport with the manager.

To find a job one loves is a pursuit in career life. We may change jobs. Once a work that satisfies is at hand, I think that is also the time we start to stay in the same position. Any company needs its employees to devote their effort and heart for the job, as this is for the good of achieving a win-win benefit for the company and employee. (328 words)
