presently unemployed

Compare the two applicants for the job.

full of experienced, she was appointed as a vice president of a bank means that she is
capable to handle big job with full of creative and innovative idea.

Would you come to the same decision, if you were the manager?

innovative workers is really needed on this digital era
 Which one do you think would be more interesting to talk to? Why?

2. Ellie is twenty-two and is studying to be an accountant. She will graduate soon and has
already sent out several applications for job in various parts of countries. Two firms have
offered her jobs.
The first offer was from a large and busy bank in Jakarta. It promised an excellent
salary for beginner and good benefits. The bank has a reputation for treating its
employees well. People tend to work there for a long time
Ellie wouldn’t mind the moving to another city but she is concerned that her work there
would not be very interesting. The bank has designed the same kinds of big building for
many years and is not known for its originality. Furthermore, the young accountants they
hire usually must spend several years.
Ellies’s other job offer come from a group of friends of hers who have recently
graduated from Economic Faculty and have set up their own small office near her home.
Elies admires the quality of the work her friend have done. They are open to experiments
in management. Whenever possible they do work what will benefit people. Since the firm
is small, everyone participates in contributing new ideas.
The firm, however, has not been able to make much more so far. Ellie would have
a very small starting salary, just enough to live on. If the firm is not successful, she would
lose her job after few months.
Which job should Ellie take? Give reasons for your answer.

Answer : I think Ellie choose the small firm rather than busy bank in Jakarta, first She
needs to find the job that make her feel comfortable. Busy bank in Jakarta will give her
big salary but more pressure and will make Ellie not comfortable with its work
environment. If she choose the small firm, I am pretty sure that she will feel more happy
because she will work with her friends and together will brainstorm the idea and make
the company getting bigger and bigger, that the most important part learning, growing ,
and developing. Since she is still fresh graduate, she needs to start small steps first and
from that keep improving her skill to get better in the future.

- Long vacation
- Other advantages that are important to you:………………..

- Answer :

- very important : Comfortable environment, Opportunity to do interesting work,

Security, Opportunity to learn
- Quite important : Good pay, Benefits, A chance for advancement to a better job
- Not important : Distance from home to office, work hours

Do you think that you would have the same answers for the question in the same way ten
years from now, or might other advantages be more important?

Answer : I think starting from now I already think that I will still find the job that suit to
answer before.

4. If you have worked, describe to others a job you have done. What were the advantages
and disadvantages of the job? If you have not yet had a job, describe a friend’s, relative’s
job, or another’s.
Answer : I would like to describe my friend’s job as a teacher, He is 28 years old , works
at International school at Denpasar. He starts working at 8 am until 3 pm so he still has
spare time after 3 pm to do different job such as giving privat/tutoring lesson. The
pressure of his job also not really matter because everyday he handle the students and he
able and know ho to deal with that. He also experienced in teaching for several years so I
think he will not find any difficulties to teach. The advantage that he got is he is still has
spare time , got good salary, and experienced in teaching. The disadvantage is he is not
able to learn new things because he just focus with his subject and lesson.
5. What kinds of job would you like in the future? Why do you like that job?
Answer : In the future , I dream to be an accountant in a company or in a Bank. Because
I think Accounting tends to be a universal need.  Every company must need an
accountant and that’s why this job give such a big opportunity. Accountant also lead
and teach us how to manage company’s financial which is very important part to
make the company still exist, that also one reason why accountant got big salary
because it’s need full of responsible and as a main role in a company

GOOD LUCK
