Big companies are usually picky in selecting staffs.
While small industries are satisfied in hiring applicants considering their
good personality, health and their eagerness to work, huge establishments hire
applicants from high quality standards. The prospects qualifications are reviewed
carefully. They are screened down through a series of examinations. And two to
three interviews are always necessary before finally being hired.
Looking for work with giant and popular companies may
be intimidating but if you got what it takes, you should also be choosy. The
following can be helpful in making you decide:
- Institution Stability
An established company means that it has been on the
business for years or decades. One can be sure of its integrity. It would be a
real pride in working for a popular institution and more to that, desirable
number of benefits and promotions are also something to look forward to.
Never the less, stable institution may require great
expectations from you. You may have to work harder with extra hours. Having
quality with family or loved ones may be narrowed down. And definitely, if you
won’t be up to it, your health could be at risk.
- The Salary
Big companies usually give big salaries, but not all
of them. Of course, they have some guidelines to follow. Often, job seekers are
misled by big sums of pay. Most of them do not consider that taxes and most
benefits (particularly, those unnecessary) are also deducted from the payroll.
- Work Location
A close work place is cheaper and convenient. It can
also be beneficial to health, since you will be more relaxed without much traveling.
- The Schedule
Long hours of work can be hazardous to health and
family. A half or an hour
daily break is refreshing. It will help the mind refocus. A day off from job at least once a week is also
important, not only for rest and recreation, but more importantly for some quality
time with loved ones.
It’s
All Up to You
What matters to you most? Is it money or your
health? Is it your career or family?
People needs and wants vary. Most would choose to
devote on a job, working hard night and day. If it’s for the money or career
growth, they have accepted the consequences behind their decision. They would
find a way to make up with their families and they will know how to take care
of themselves.
Your quality job depends on how will you like them
to be. Career opportunities may be misleading. Large figures maybe attractive
but you may not like the policies behind it.
Analyze your job offers. A wrong employment for you
is a waste of time and effort. Bear in mind that any job comfortable and
enjoyable for you, means not working at all.
