When you take your first job, what is the most important?

I wasn't too worried about money issues wiwth my first job I just wanted something that paid so I could pay bills etc. I started off in a kitchen working doing dishes and stuff, it paid minimum wage but it was a first time job so I didn't care. I lasted there for 3 yrs and got a raise and then I found a job that I love and been at that current job for 7 yrs. So it depends on what you like to do. Just look for something based on the skills you have and something you know you may enjoy doing. Start with something easy first then look around for something better if you decide yhou don't like what you're doing. Hope you find that first job, best of luck.

part-time job during the summer holiday as a yoga instructor ,that's my first job. well this is not hard job,but you have to show your movement with you words in company,and express it clearly, i love the last sharing parts, we talked,and proved together,i love this part time job,.. i don't know what i'm gonna do after my graduation,..

I am also looking for my first job these days. The national company has the good future for me, but they are not very efficient in many aspects. They are traditional and supported by the government. Another choice is foreign company, that is modern and efficient. I am sure that the foreign company could make a person more proffesional and more active, but the promotion is very difficult for us in the foreign company, especially the senior manager. I am also confused now... Do you agree me? PS: if you enter the foreign company now, it will be very hard to enter a national company afer a few years. The national company prefer the graduate.

Hi dandan, let me first wish you luck on your job search. I think on of the best things would be for you to have a sense of confidence...It important that you do your homework and learn as much about the establishment where your will be interviewing..It will help tremendously in the interview .. Money is important in a job, but your first job may not be your career job so just get yourself out into the work force... Good luck.......

hi there, for me, to find a job, the first thing to consider is that, is it good for my future? the second is, is there is any chance to promote and develop? the third will be the salary. for me, i dont have a big expanses, so that i am not really focus on money first, but i will try to gain some experience first.

I am in similar situation right now, or better say in a few months I have to decide. Maybe the best for you is trying to make a compromis. If possible of course. It is hard to say when you are in the situation that you need money. But maybe if you take a job where you can raise, it will be better for you and for your carrier.

The first step is the hardest thing to do. Looking for a first job and being employed on your first job will bombard you with a lot of queries. Money is really so important to us but what matters most is the experience and the knowledge that we gain during our first job. You will miss an important part in your job if you won't learn from it. You should love your job and money comes next.

Try to consider also your daily expenses with regards to the location of your job. Perhaps the job which can give you a brighter future yet low-paying is just located around the corner. And perhaps the other high-paying job is located far away. So that means if you choose the former over the latter, you will have less expenses since you will no longer need to rent a place to stay and your daily commutes are unnecessary. Chances are if you will choose the high-paying job and it's located far from where you're staying, your salary will just be a breakeven to the salary of the low-paying job.
