 IELTS Essay - Changing Careers
by: IELTS buddy

Hi Rakez,

You need to read the question very carefully and make sure you answer it. You have not answered the question so this will decrease your score considerably.

The question asks you if you think that people should stay in one job for life or change at least once.

You have simply explained the reasons why someone may change their job. You've given no indication of what your opinion is or the reasons to support that opinion. You should be discussing:

a) The advantages of changing jobs
b) The disadvantages of changing jobs

And of course saying which you think is the best thing to do and why.

Your organisation and coherency is also a bit confusing. It is not really clear exactly what point your are making or where your arguments are going.

I would advise working all the way through the Task 2 writing lessons:

There are two schools of thought regarding staying at one type of job. Some people think that a person should stick to one kind of work for his/her whole life, while the other group is of the view that bringing changes in the types of jobs with time is a better idea. This essay agrees that staying in the same position is more appropriate than doing otherwise. This essay will discuss both points of view.

It is clear that continuing the already existing service provides valuable job prospects and career progression. Moreover, the chances of higher financial rewards in the form of salary, commission and pension etc. are brighter. Therefore, it is agreed that staying attached to one form of work is a more fitting idea. For example, my uncle started working as a senior clerk in the administration of Ayub Medical Complex in the year 2000, and after being promoted at the same job for almost 18 years, he is now serving as the head of the Human Resources (HR) department in the same hospital.

However, many disagree and feel that switching jobs from time to time is a more appropriate thing career development wise. They further support their idea by explaining that it prevents a person from becoming disinterested and dull work-wise; hence his/her work output is 100%, bringing along better chances of incentives and work bonuses. Despite this, the essay disagrees, as a person can only provide positive results if there is a strong connection with the work he/she is doing and that comes only by being persistent about a job. For instance, one of my co-workers, Mr Shaheer is still under 16 grade because of his un stability regarding one type of work.

In conclusion, while the argument against inconstancy at one service is clear, some people are still against the idea. Nevertheless, being confident about one type of work is crucial and should be taken seriously.

 Changing Jobs Essay
by: Anonymous

Some people believe that employees should stay in the same job for the rest of their lives. Others think they should switch jobs at least once during their worklife.

To what extent do you agree/disagree

While some argue that people should work for the same job, I agree with those who say that changing job is necessary. This essay will explain how it encourages employees to stay motivated and helps them to learn new skills.

Firstly, a change of job motivates employees to become more productive in their work. This is due to the fact that they might feel monotonous by doing the same task every day. With a change of job, they become enthusiastic because they have something new to do. Consequently, they take more interest in doing the things that they have started to learn. For instance, one of my colleagues in my office, who was recently transferred from Accounting Department to Human Resource Department, told me that how motivated he was feeling due to entirely new tasks he had to perform. In contrast, employees following the same routine may develop slacking-off habits, and it may lead them to be fired from their jobs.

Secondly, moving to a new job enables workers to enhance their skill-sets. This is because their new jobs require them to do new things that they would not do otherwise. For example, five years ago, I changed my career from the job of an auditor to an accountant, and it helped me to equip with accounting skills which I did not have when I was an auditor. If I had not changed my job, I would not have learned these new skills. Conversely, people who keep on doing the same job do not learn new skills.

In conclusion, a career change is essential in my opinion because it is a source of motivation for employees, and they learn different things by doing new activities.
