Introduction
There are many things that I would take into account before choosing where I would work. Here are the main things that I would look for my future job.
Personally, for my future job, I want to work in an environment that is safe and where there is no danger to my health. This means that the building that I work in must have safety provisions in order for them to keep employees inducing me safe. This is important to me because my health important to me and I pay attention to myself to make sure that I am fit and healthy.

We studied the Equity theory (Adams, 1965) and this stated if employees are getting the outcome that they deserve from the work that they put in. As I mentioned in the introduction of this journal I would look for a decent rate of pay for the work that I put in and rewards and benefits. Also, being treated equally compared to other employees.

Topic 3 - Happiness, meaning and motivation
I currently work as a warehouse worker and I am one of the top preforming employees. I get applauded by fellow employees and the team leaders.

    Job Satisfaction Important Factors Mt302 Unit 2 Assignment

    The second most important job aspect to me is the availibility for career advancement. I am the type of person that always wants to better herself and to climb right up that corporate ladder. I don't ever want to settle with a position when I know that there is one higher and within my reach and ability if I were to try hard enough, and to complete the tasks necessary to gain that position. So if a company does not have the opportunity for advancement, then it is not the right place for me, and I probably wouldn't even consider working there.…

    Practical Session 1 Reflective Journal

    We started the session with an icebreaker which was very specific. I found this very challenging as I wanted to say more than the one point that was allowed. The ‘Get/Give’ activity was very thought provoking as it allowed me to really think about what it was I actually wanted from the course and what I felt I could contribute to the course. Sue explained very clearly that the assessment tasks should be related to my subject, learners and environment. This I found a very useful piece of information and will try to remember this while writing assessments. We then looked at reflective practice and between us came up with a definition. It is about describing what we have done and then acting upon it. We then looked at each section of a reflective journal and thought about what we would write in each section. I chose ‘What surprised me was...’ To this I answered that I was surprised by the fact that a lot of the skills I already have can be transferred into teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector.…

    I was not surprised by the results of the survey. It shows that I am someone who prefers a secure, stable environment where the staff is friendly and supportive and the management is considerate and caring. I seek a place that is comfortable and has plenty of opportunity for advancement. All of the items listed seem like criteria that everyone would want out of their job, such as a fun and safe place to work, high salaries with the likelihood of rapid promotion and other benefits. With any luck, when I do begin looking for a job in my new career field I will find one that meets these criteria.…

If things can be corrected to help in the work place operate better if there are problems. It also opens opportunities for employees to make suggestions on things that they think could make the work place better for customers, workers also management.

    My Reflective Journal Analysis

    As a reader, I have noticed that reading enhanced my analytical thinking and increased my vocabulary. About myself, I learned that I can value the purpose of a text and start thinking about further questions and imaginations. I’m good in fast reading and catching main ideas while scanning texts, and not bad at all in knowing the right phrases that could be quoted from the given author (which I thought could be difficult at that start of the course). Regarding the reading assignments, I did all of them. Although I knew I will feel a little shy and will not read my notes during class, I wrote and brought them every time an active reading was assigned. To be honest, I did not usually volunteer and read texts that were…
