Many individuals believe that working in large
companies
has been playing an imperative role in the career growth of workers as compared to working in small
companies
.
However
, I completely disagree with
this
statement and reckon that smaller
firms
also
have their unique benefits
while
working in big
firms
may end up facing some difficulties. First of all, small-scaled
companies
are mostly based in small and mid-sized
cities
where there are no large
companies
established.
This
facilitates local residents to
work
and earn money without the need to migrate to metropolitan
cities
to
work
in big
companies
.
Secondly
, many new business owners having small
firms
are always willing to hire newcomers and less experienced
employees
which helps in maintaining the unemployment rate in every country.
Lastly
, the beginners of small
firms
can not only acquire more diverse field experience but
also
develop advanced skills in their specific sectors by performing great
work
outputs.
On the other hand
, even though large
firms
provide top-notch salaries to their
employees
, there has been seen more stressed workload among these workers.
For example
, the recent WHO report showed that
employees
who
work
in multi-national industries have more health and stress issues
due to
their hectic lifestyle and worse
work
-life balance in comparison to the
employees
who
work
in local small family-owned
firms
.
In addition
, as most big
companies
such
as Amazon, and Tata Steel, are based in metropolitan
cities
, the living expenses of these
cities
are
also
significantly higher than small
cities
.
As a result
, there might be less saving
at the end
of the year even earning a high income.
To conclude
,
although
some people consider being employed in a big industry more valuable than a small industry
due to
high wages, I believe that small-scaled
companies
not only play an equally important role in the career growth of people, especially those who are living in towns but
also
provide less hectic lifestyle to live happily
as well as
healthy.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
