position of job will be evaluated by me through looking upon the basic elements as well as
considering all the reasons that are relative to that position and the major reasons why choose
that why I selected the specific job position. In this context it can be clearly identified that the
job which was selected by me and explored in this report is acknowledged as the sales manager

MY IDEAL JOB
Overview of ideal job
It is quite necessary for the individual to first choose the right course of work and the job
where he or she can find themselves as most effective and productive to see the visible outcomes
from their activities (Luo, 2019). This evaluation after the studies helps to a large extent to do the
proper planning of job selection and further it will also state the steps and basic questions which
are needed to be taken into account by the individual for seeking entry into the ideal professional
or job. Also, it helps in effectively assessing the upcoming challenges and barriers in the job
practice within the professional context. It can be clearly said that currently I really do not have
proper and most suitable knowledge for the ideal job of mine which I think can be pursued in in
near future. I have attended a number of corporate workshops and I also attended the internship
programs in various reputed organisations and career growing institutes. Along with that I can
also state that this selection of the ideal job is completed as I realise and did my self-assessment I
1

think the job of a manager in a corporate body will be the most appropriate and ideal job for me.
As I am deeply studying the dynamics of sales and I think I am comfortable and become more
productive in the sales department so I reach to the conclusion that somewhere I should start my
career with the ideal job of a sales manager in a well renowned organisation of the country
Why interested in this job?
As far as I can say that the prerequisite for any particular job is that one must possess the
required skills and tactics to complete the basic stuff in that job and along with that for a job in
management of anything one must have to be efficient in managing of all the resources and
people within the confines of his or her work. As I completed my graduation degree I thoroughly
started studying the management practices and the efficient principles to collect the old due
information that can enhance my knowledge of managing in the sales and that will also add an
extensive part of potential in my growth and career. This is so in light of the fact that I possess
solid interaction abilities which go about as key to successfully dealing with the sales group and
conveying to them the routes through which the customer buying conduct can be tapped by the
individuals from the group (Coleman, 2016). Further, my solid capacity of influence would
permit me to set powerful communication and in this manner prepare the individuals working
under my direction with a similar expertise.
I am interested in the job position of sales manager as this position always affected me in
a positive way and I also studied the strengths and drawbacks which can be used in the principles
of sale while being in any organisation to directly interact with the customers as well as with all
of stakeholders to comprehensively enhance the sale graph. This has always attracted me towards
this domain of corporate life.
Where to work and the reason why
As I always wanted to work in a corporate environment with the views of attaining higher
objectives and grabbing the existing opportunities in such a manner that I can accomplish
personal and professional development goals. This will enable me to participate and contribute in
the success of the company resulting in the most effective growth of my career. There are too
many companies within the country which have always intensified the fresh talent and adapted
newer trends for work culture (Gurden, 2016). It would be much beneficial for my personal as
well as professional career that I would choose any reputed firm or multinational organisation in
the confines of London, United Kingdom. This city is the capital of UK which attracts a large
2

number of multinational companies as well as most potential institutions in the world. This
location will also aid me in securing the position in the high society culture as well as I will also
be able to build my good image as a manager of sales who particularly manages and co-ordinate
the overall sales team in a company. After gaining some effective experiences in the top notch
companies of London UK, I will consider about moving back to my home country where I can
use the skills knowledge as well as the good experience from UK and can evolve the standards of
my working and my career in my home country as well.

individual across the globe. These individuals have the opportunity to access the platforms in
order to identify the right opportunity and to clearly search the perfect job (Boyle and et. al,
2019). As with this contacts it can be clearly stated as such platforms provides various kinds of
opportunities as well as they also supports the individual and job seeking candidates to make
themselves more effective and skilful while searching for the job as they give unlimited
experience in researching and they also nurture them by providing various kinds of information
about the ideal jobs respective companies industries and the overall sector within different
growing countries.
LinkedIn
It can be said that the social networking platforms are those places where a person can digitally
explore the whole universe with the clicks and can effectively counter the most beneficial
opportunities for them (Jerkins, 2018). Well LinkedIn is more suitable place for job seekers to
grab their right set of opportunity as it focuses on the solution of making a positive
interconnection between the deserving job candidates and the employers from different
5

companies. It is also considered as it is overall setup which is design to interact with various
kinds of personalities which are related to specific subjects.
Twitter
It is yet another example for growing and effective social media platform which is mainly used
for news distribution and it is application to interconnect with each individual by personal
interactions on the app (Baker, 2016). Twitter is used for delivering short messages which are
often called as tweets. Bigger and multinational companies use this platform to make good
relationships with potential candidates and professionals, also showing them display of kinds of
career opportunity.
CONCLUSION
On the basis of above discussion, it can be determined that there are several resources
which can be used for the purpose of finding ideal job opportunity. Hereby, it has further been
said that Twitter along with LinkedIn are two most prominently used resources for getting
knowledge of the open job opportunities. Twitter consists of small messages for job opening in
the form of tweets. Further, LinkedIn is a platform by way of which companies can come into
contact with prospective candidates and provide them with information about the job openings in
the organisation. As a result of this, deserving candidates can get jobs in their desired fields
