What kind of job would you like to do in the future?

Since my childhood, I wanted to pursue a legal career. I do not know if this is due to an acute sense to justice or a passion for family heritage. Of all that I have established for myself, I did put into practice only a small part. This means I attended a faculty of law and that was all about. I had no talent for being a lawyer; I have tried to create a practice with limited success. Then, for convenience, I have embraced teaching career in a different field than the legal field that I have studied in the meantime. However, my greatest desire is to become a magistrate. I am very tempted to work as a prosecutor on criminal law and this is the job I will have in a very short time. As I have said before, since childhood I had a very pronounced sense of justice, I feel that as my family have always told me that I was a very brave girl. Therefore, as a prosecutor on criminal law and I will able to contribute to establishing the truth and progress of justice. It is a tricky job but I am convinced that it will provide to be very well rewarding in the future. I have not given up my dream and now I am determined not to give it up for the future.

What are the most important aspects of a job?


The five most important aspects of a job are job security, benefits, compensation, opportunities to use skills and abilities, and work safety.

1. Job Security
Job security, the probability that an individual will keep his job, has become one of the most important aspects of a job.

2. Benefits
Sixty percent of employees said that medical benefits were a top criteria for a job. Benefit plans help employees protect themselves against unexpected expenses and save for the future. Companies offer medical benefits for employees to pay for health care expenses if they become sick and to help employees save for retirement.

3. Compensation
Compensation is the amount an employee is paid. Compensation is often a reason why employees leave one job for another.

4. Opportunities for Use of Skills and Abilities


Opportunities for use of skills and abilities are an important aspect of the job because it increased their feelings of job security. By using their skills, employees felt they were contributing to their company's overall success and could potentially advance their careers and increase their compensation.

5. Feeling Safe at Work


Feeling safe at work is an important aspect of a job. Employees want to feel that their organizations are prepared for disaster, are taking the proper precautions to protect employees from hazards and workplace violence, and had security systems in place. Employees that felt that businesses had the proper preventative measures in place for emergencies were more productive because they were less worried about dangers in the workplace. This was more important to women employees than male employees.

Past performance or even experience, skills and intelligence are not as important as learning agility and communications skills.

Without self motivation, it is quite possible that even the best of employees will languish in the company without achieving any success. Success Oriented and Natural Leader All companies search for an individual who has the drive within himself or herself. Frankly, the company would not have time to actually sit back and look out which of their employees has that next big idea, or which of the employees is not working according to their talents and resources. Therefore, it is best that a company have a self-appointed mentor who keeps these things in mind and speaks about them at the appropriate time. This characteristic is necessary for team leaders, supervisors, executive managers and project managers. Team Player No man is an island. And in todays world, like never before, a person requires a group of people with whom to succeed. Therefore, being a team player in todays world is almost as important as any academic degree. Hardworking This is one of the most common traits found in a successful boss as well as a successful employee. It is said that success is ninety percent hard work and ten percent thinking/brain activity. Any company would like to have a hard-working employee. Therefore, you can speak about hard-work, dedication and commitment as your strengths.

Intelligence and Self Confidence Being intelligent does not mean being the only person in the room who can drive a plane, but a person who has the simple logic and practical knowledge that goes with running a proper team.
