Whenever I make a decision – „Would this job be a good fit for me?” -, I consider this: „Growth opportunities in a job”.
For example, a job where you meet and have connections with a lot of people, and get deep connections with them, could do fine. This doesn’t imply, to me, calling a lot of people, or selling stuff, but things like account management, working for companies or individuals, organizing events.
Another option – learning curve (and, of course, the utility of things being learned). So, if I were to learn to program, I can apply the principles in a lot of places. Law system? Yes, I can apply it, but mostly in Romania, and in certain jobs only. A system like „Prima Casa”/”First Home”, now obsolete – now there’s no future in that.
Finally, the place of the job. If you can do it online, you have a lot of opportunities. If you need to go to work, in person, a famous city looks like a better place to learn things.
So, how do I look at a job as a clerk in City Hall for a small community? It’s certainly not bad, and the skills you learn could be useful, but I think there are better opportunities than that. It’s a safe bet, but perhaps the prize is not that high.
