From my point of view, I think that this is a really good choice for me as I have involved in the food and beverage industry since the beginning of year 2014, so, I am quite familiar with the operation of this industry. Plus, I have a strong interest in managing things, situations ans peoples, so I have the confident that I will handle this job well. Besides, I have experience in digital marketing as I am a social media influencer since the year of 2014 and my clients are mostly from the food and beverage industry. Thus, it provides me a strong base in this job. The jobs provided by the website are quite similar to my intended major as I am majoring in management information system, and the jobs provided are all related to management.
Moreover, I am pleased with the salary shown by the website and if I further pursue my Master or having a 2 years or higher job’s experience, there is a higher chance I will be getting a higher pay for my salary. From my opinion, I think that the level of satisfaction is more important than the salary. I know that getting a high salary is everyone’s dream and goal, but if you are earning high income but you are tensed, not satisfied, compromising with your thinking then what is the use of having a high pay? Enjoying life is more important as you won’t be giving your 100% if you are not satisfied with your job and in fact you are wasting your time as while as your talent. But, there is also another type of person who thinks that having a job with a high salary makes them feel satisfied no matter what kind of job they are doing. However, life is too short to be wasted on doing something that you are not really enjoying. So, I strongly against this statement as salary is just something you get once every month, but job satisfaction keeps you happy every seconds. Last but not least, I feel that every jobs have the pros and cons, so, think twice and do some research about the job before you make your decision.
