The real job role description of the ideal job role of mine is to make the positive
difference by which the growth and success has been measured that is more helpful and brings
more accomplishment in the life. It is more important that the person get more enjoyed with the
co-worker and thus it help to maintain I just want a job as from where I have feel more
appreciated and more valued where all the employee have more trust and belief towards each
other. The office manager is the job role that I always have loved to do as I am always being
more passionate and confident. It is the job roles that will get bring more challenge as with that I

of all the employee that get associated with the company and get performed their work under the

of the company and with that organises and manages the different operation as well as the
procedures to ensure that more benefit will get generated (Englund, 2019). The manager must

Job descriptions have followed the different roles and responsibilities and adequate skills and
the qualification that is more suitable and support to make adequate changes. It will include the
mission, benefits and the culture of the company that will provided to the employees and with
the appropriate wage and position as per knowledge. It is the role through which I have to

dealing of the filing system, assignment and the monitoring of the clerical function and many
others as well. It is more helpful for me and thus I have made better adjustment through which I
have gained efficient victory and more revenue and always try to make the successful changes by
which the company will gain more profit. I have always put all my effort by which the
performance of the company will always get more suppressed and also try to improvise the
working standard and the attitude of the business (Englund, 2019).

various advantages and disadvantage both. The advantages are as they have provided the widest
variety by which it is easy to search the job that is more relative to your profile or educational
background. On the other hand, there are some disadvantages of these resources as well like it is
more difficult to get select by the organisation that is more suitable. I have used some different
tools that enable me to find the ideal job role and that are as defined below as:
 Linkedin: It is an employment-oriented online service app that will get generate via
mobile as well as by website too. It help me a lot while searching a job as it is the
platform where all the companies get linked and have a profile thus it is easy to get the
