I will explain how the three jobs I have identified may affect my life style in different ways; I will also explain how my life is now and what factors of my life style would make it suitable and also difficult to do the jobs I have chosen (e.g. not being able to wake up in the morning)
Job 1 The human resources job is all right but to far from where I live so that is a problem for me the fist thing I need to be able to do it to how do drive a car so if I now how to drive it will not effect my life style because I can drive the car to work and not be late.
Job 2 stock control could affect your life in different ways such as your sleeping, you have to walk up early in the morning.
Your hours of work will affect your social life, for example if you work from evening you may find it difficult to arrange time with your friends.
Job3 To do the head cashier I will have to wake up early every morning just to go to work. My life style will be a mass because I would need to get ready quicker and on time and I have to be able to be on time for work and if I have kids that are going to be hard for me to get early to work.
(M3)
I will now describe how my lifestyle may be influenced by the jobs I choose and how it will change.
I will also say what the expectations will be on me by taking on these three job roles.
Life style changes are personal relationship for example you might choose to work close to your friends. If you work from evening you may find it difficult to arrange time with your friends. Starting at finishing time could affect you sleeping
Expectations from my employers on me by taking these jobs are being on time in the job or maybe a little early, don’t talk holiday when you don’t want to. Your employers need you to do well on your job and want you to work but they want a good efficient work from you.
