A Job Is A Job Is A Job ..... Is it?

SeCrEts SG

What is a job? A Career? An Occupation? A means to make $$? What differentiates these terms?

Having plenty of thoughts nowadays about work. My current job scope is ok, but the environment and the management are simply terrible. Which means I have to look for another new job again. sighz. Sad

Just want to ask all of u guys' opinions: how will u know what kind of occupation are u suitable for? I really don't know what I am good at, and what I excel in. Really in a muddle. Sad Job market now is not fantastic for biz pple; only engineers & IT pple r hot. Sad

For currently employed people: are you happy with your present job? what made you choose your current occupation?

For students: what will you like to work as once u graduate? does it match what you are currently studying?

Siaobell SG

A job iz just a job if u dun like wat u doing. but if u like..then a job becomes a hobby.
graduate liaoz dunno do wat..that iz something that iz bery 'shang nao jing' at the moment. hee.

secrets not happy with yor current job izit?

SeCrEts SG

sighz, how many of us has the luxury of doing what we like as a job? Sad

siaobell: my current job scope is ok, but the work environment is terrible. terminations and resignations happen abt thrice a month! bosses r also extremely cunning. Sad

Siaobell SG

hmm..seems that getting a job which we enjoy iz realli rare.

hmm...i got no lobang leh..got one suggesstion though...go be a teacher..at least that's a job which i think iz quite ok..no need to see boss's color..only get pissed by the students..hee Very Happy

A job is something you do to get money and you cannot see yourself doing it long term while a career is something you can do until you retire and can do for a long term,ehehe Very Happy

I like IT,so i will just enter the IT line,but the field is so broad,so i dunno which sector to enter to.Anyway,find your what are your talents and your likes and find a job that matches it,ehehe

let bro me tell u something..how many pple actually get to do the job they like??...and how many pple get to do their favourite job in a favourite environment!!!!

dream is afterall dream, in reality not that so...to me a job is just to get myself paid!!!

whether how can we tell what jobs suits us??..that's must depend on ones character lor..pple that are more outspoken, agressive will be suitable for front line job..pple like me who can't talk Very Happy

i'm not that satisfied with my current job scope too, but all jobs got its pros & cons, it's just how u see them

as for ur case, if the environmewnt is too bad for u, think its time to look for a better place..as for lobangs, hehe, u must first tell me what u want lar...

and yes, never quit before u found a new job, trust me, the economy is gonna slow down this yr, be it for IT or Biz.. Sad

SeCrEts SG

ah, me? a teacher?? err.... i will be "piaking" every student & scolding "si ginnah!" every other second. thanks for the idea but err.... i cannot make it lah. Very Happy

nowadays being a teacher isn't that much of a breeze anymore. politics r very much a part of the teaching line. and being a teacher, though got no direct 'boss', still got to see the "colour" of the principals, the HODs, the students, their parents, and MOE pple! phew~ what a list! not a easy line, teaching.

SeCrEts SG

somehow the way u put it seems so easy. but its incredibly difficult in practice! e.g. I like doing promotions & marcom stuff for consumer prdts & services, but nowadays its so hard to find a good job that matches this! either the company is lousy, the prospects r dim, or the pay is terrible. sighz. Sad

SeCrEts SG

see? precisely what I meant. In our search for the 'dream' job, we often have to abandon this fantasy and get real! translate: get a good-paying but not much-loved job instead. sickening huh? but this is a vicious cycle that will keep repeating. Get real! Get practical! Thats the realism to be faced for many of us folks today.

my job definitely has pros & cons, but the bottom line is that the company is in danger of insufficient funds to pay its employees! think that warrants a very critical reason to leave the company.

yah, the economy is definitely going to slow down. that's y i'm still hanging on to my job while searching for a new one. i really need a new job FAST!

SeCrEts SG

Good Luck Ashley! I got a feeling you will make an extremely caring and sincere teacher! Smile

Inzaghi SG

Secrets:
get real, get practical, well that's life..whether u happy or not, u just gotta face it!!!..the society has made us like that, we jollywell live with it, if not we will be miserable!!!

how do u know the company is facing cashflow problem???...if really so, think u better double up to look out for a new job...although the economy is slowing down, most companies are responding to that to, think if u not too choosy, u should be able to find one lar... Very Happy
