Types Of Jobs – Right Approach For The Right Career
Three main types of jobs are Permanent Jobs, Temporary Jobs and Contract Jobs. Most of people go through more than one type of job during their lifetime. One is always in pursuit of a dream job.
People have different definitions of a dream job. Basically whatever the job, one should love what one is doing. Unfortunately a lot of people do not like what they are doing. For them job is boring and is being done out of necessity.
A dream job has to satisfy one emotionally and psychologically, besides meeting one’s financial expectations.
A permanent job provides security, financial certainty, fixed time schedule, medical and other group benefits, annual vacations, pension and belonging to a group.
A temporary or casual job may or may not have all the benefits of a permanent job. As its name implies it is short term in nature and can last anywhere up to 2 years. These are more like contract jobs.
Many times a temporary job translates into a permanent one. Some jobs start temporary as such with a possibility of becoming permanent after certain conditions are met.
Permanent or temporary jobs may not be challenging, diverse and may not make one wealthy. If one does not like a job, these may be become burdensome.
Contract jobs are more like temporary jobs. They suit the temperament of a person who likes diversity of jobs, independent work, possibly a higher income, challenging work, freedom from regular hours and convenience.
Most of the contract jobs are done by people who have some skills and they feel that they are in demand and that they will be able to find work. However, they still run the risk of being out of job for uncertain periods of time. Besides, these types of jobs do not offer any security, benefits or pensions plans.
The greatest advantage of contract jobs is that they take away the routine out of a person’s life and make them to fix their own schedule according to their own convenience. The second major advantage is that they may be high paying and may compensate for the times of inactivity and lack of benefits.
With a contract job, one is free from a boss and able to fix one’s own hours of work. One can also determine one’s own compensation.
Lot of people are more attuned to a day time job, job security and income certainty. That is also because of tradition and because people are afraid of uncertainties. However, most of the people would like to have an independent and convenient job.
Contract jobs suit the temperaments of many people. Fortunately there are many online freelance jobs available. One has to go to the right place to find the right job.
