People's intellectual, social and personal development are highly influenced by
their work experience. With this understanding, I believe that it is important
for people to take several different kinds of jobs before they take a career in
a long term for two reasons. This is because taking several different kinds of
jobs enables people to broaden interpersonal skills and enjoy a better quality
of life.
First, taking several kinds of jobs enables people to broaden interpersonal
skills. Understanding the daily environment of working and the potential role
of having a variety of jobs is necessary to substantiate this view. I was
engaged in a variety of academic subjects about music during my university and
graduate school years. In addition to my major, I was interested in other
majors such as marketing and economics and so on. After graduating, I did other
kinds of jobs that were not related to my major. This was extremely useful in
helping me to build interpersonal skills for later years in society when I had
a job in a long term. In one situation, I joyfully continued talking with my
clients who were woking working in my
previous jobs after meetings. In this regard, I learned that it is important
for people to take several kinds of jobs before they take a career in a long
term.
Second, taking several kinds of jobs allows people to enjoy a better quality of
life. Interestingly, a renowned social scientist in South Korea published an
article in "The Korean Herald" last Tuesday which claims that taking
several kinds of jobs enables people to strengthen competitiveness in society.
The article claims that 62 percent of 200 Korean leading recruiters prefer
people who had taken several kinds of jobs before applying their companies.
Recruiters show such a tendency because they tend to be more patient and
creative and analytical. In the long run, such patient, creative and critical
thinking enhance work performance. This is because they could synthesize
information and turn it into actions. By working
this way, they could output better things than other workers and their bosses
want them to work for a long period. This not only results in job promotions
but also encourages people to ultimately enjoy a better quality of life. I
thought of this article because the results of the survey resonated with my
views.
To sum up, I believe that it is better to take several kinds of jobs before they
people rake a career in a long term for following
two reasons; broadening interpersonal skills and enjoying a better quality of
life. Consequently, the importance of my view cannot be underestimated for the
reasons I have mentioned above.
