Finding a suitable job

Most people take up part time jobs, not because there is an urgent need to work, but only because they need to do something constructive in their spare time. However, yet one cannot overlook the section of youth, who need to work in order to be able to pay their fees. And while they are doing so, they might as well be sensible about the job they take up, rather than just picking up something for the sake of it.
Whether youth, or others who are finding a suitable part time job, here is a checklist one can go through. This list will help one know whether the job they are taking up is suitable for them or not…
The list:
Is the nature of work in keeping with one's own nature? This implies if one is an introvert, then taking up a job where one needs to interact with people will lead to frustration. For instance, taking up an evening job as a receptionist at a doctor's dispensary.
Is the job matching your skills? This implies that if one is good at teaching people, then rather than selling something in a retail outlet, they should rather join a coaching class as part time faculty
Is the job paying you enough? Whether one is working to put their spare time into constructive use, or then for the money; it is important to feel that the pay is a deserving amount, definitely not far too below the expectations.
Is the job contributing to your growth and maturity? This is something important for the student populace taking up part time jobs. This is because the job should contribute towards their understanding of work culture, as it all forms a part of their resume.
Is the job contributing to your future career plans? This is again something important for the youth that have chalked out a definite career path. It is pointless working for the sake of working. Instead, take up a job that will hone the skills required later on. For instance, if one is heading towards hospitality as a profession, then taking up a waiter's job, or apprentice in the kitchen will help one gain further experience in the field
