Choose Your Company with Care

Small is beautiful. That, at least, is the conclusion of new research examining how satisfied secretaries are in different sized firms. "We have found that people who work for small or medium-sized companies work harder and are more committed," says David Smith, author of one of the latest studies in this field. "The smaller the environment, the bigger the part you play as an individual and the more people notice your absence. "

However, smaller companies can be more flexible when it comes to working hours, and have better working conditions. But working for a smaller firm is no without its disadvantages. Career development in the form of courses can be limit.

ed, but, on the other hand, employees often feel that they can learn more on the job.

In fact, opportunities for promotion are the same whatever the size of the company. Smith also says: "Our research shows that in a company of fewer than 50 people, employers can actually see what their employees are producing and ther give them bonuses as appropriate."

The new research focuses on the number of secretaries employed in small firms.

  3、Read the article below about a self-employed Journalist.

Are sentences on the opposite page ' Right' or ' Wrong' ? If there is not enough information to answer ' Right' or ' Wrong', choose ' Doesn't say'.

For each sentence (16-22), mark one letter (A, C) on your Answer Sheet.

Sally Patterson, journalist Last year, Sally Patterson left her permanent job with a newspaper and is now a selfemployed journalist. Why did she do it? "I had no control over my work," she says, "and that mattered more to me than earning lots of money. Actually, leaving my job wasn't as difficult as I'd expected, because I already had plenty of contacts in the publishing industry.

Unlike my last job, though, I'm mostly in touch with the magazines and newspapers I write for by email, and as I don't work in an'office, I may not see anyone for days. But that's a welcome relief!"

Isn't it hard being self-employed? "The biggest danger when you become self-employed is saying "yes" to everything," Sally says. "I make sure I turn work down if I haven't got the time for it. And that's a question of planning: I spend an hour every week working out what I'm doing for the next few months. "

And what about the benefits? "Well, at the newspaper I always concentrated on economic matters, but now I can choose to work on a wider range of projects than being my own boss has made me feel more confident about the other areas of my life,too. "

Sally left her last job because she wanted to make decisions about her work herself.
