Band 6+: Some people believe that employees should remain with a single company for their entire career, while others think that regularly changing jobs and employers is more beneficial for professional growth. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the view that frequent job changes benefit a person's career?

It is often argued that changing work frequently gives more opportunity to the individuals than staying loyal to one company. I largely agree with this view, mainly because such varieties can enhance the experience level and gradually prevent burnout from working in one place too long.

Firstly, people gain experience working in different situations, such as adapting to colleagues, managing different time schedules, and learning new skills. When individuals get into new environments, having their own attributes, they break their normal routine and eventually start to improve their adaptability, flexibility, and learnability. For example, a young adult who just changed an employer left at unexpected job conditions: new co-workers, new working time, and new requirements. At first, it is difficult to throw away his or her habits and do things their own way; the employee faces constant problems and feels numerous pressure. Over time, that young adult adjusts, regulates, and acquires that company’s attributes. Furthermore, for the subsequent companies, these characteristics will be the advantage to get promotion or extra rewards. For this reason, changing jobs regularly is a thoughtful measure to improve their experience level and treated with appropriate perks.

Secondly, working for a company, which has flawed conditions can lead to both mental and physical issues in the long term. These difficulties make it hard to continue work without constant distractions and limit personal output in the company. For instance, my brother who stayed loyal in a small company for five years noticed that every year his psychological well-being deteriorates because of the defective and inorganised system of the company. Furthermore, that causes physical problems, such as hair loss, insomnia, and migraine, leading to more and more imperfect production. As a result, both the company and my brother faced a lot of loss. But if he changed his employer earlier, he would not have to go through all those negativities.

In conclusion, I firmly believe that making a lateral move can benefit personal careers by enhancing expertise and prevent exhaustion due to working in one place for too long. Therefore, both company and employee should have a desire to grow and improve.
