People have different expectations for jobs. Some people prefer to do the same job for the same company whereas others prefer to change jobs frequently. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

There are some people who like to keep changing their
jobs
, whereas others prefer to continue with the same organisation. Not only
this
essay will discuss the merits and the demerits of both these approaches, but
also
it will answer why I feel that a hybrid approach is needed.
First
and foremost, there are benefits as well as drawbacks of continuing in the same
job
for longer. The most important benefit is becoming the master of systems and processes of the organisation.
This
helps in completing tasks seamlessly and
also
makes it easier to get recognition from bosses as
employees
become well versed with the
job
by doing the same task for a longer period of time. It,
however
, can result in monotonicity and
also
often results in getting lesser monetary compensation.
For instance
, even though my friend was high performing employee, he was getting an increment of 4% per year, but once he switched
jobs
he was offered a growth of 50%.
Similarly
, frequent
job
-hopping too has mixed outcomes. On the positive side, because
employees
get to work in different organisations their knowledge becomes wider and it helps them to get a well-rounded view of the sector.
This
is really helpful in the long run since senior roles require high industry knowledge.
On the other hand
, changing
jobs
time and again puts
employees
under tremendous pressure to keep performing because they have to prove themselves to new bosses.
Hence
, they are always on their toes.
For instance
, when I changed
jobs
frequently during the early part of my career , I was always required to put more effort than my colleagues as my superiors did not know me well. In my opinion, recognition of work and adequate compensation for work are the two major objectives of a
job
. In order to address both of these objectives, it becomes prudent to extract benefits from both approaches, as it is evident that none of these is perfect to go forward. To give an example, my father followed a mixed approach and became a director at the age of 35. To conclude, continuing in the same
job
results in getting well versed with a
job
but compensation becomes an issue. On the other side, changing
jobs
time and again helps in getting a wealth of knowledge and puts additional pressure on
employees
to keep performing.
Thus
, I believe that a hybrid approach can result in better growth of
employees
.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
