Should long-term job-seekers do voluntary work?

Post by pravallikadudhi »

Should long-term job-seekers in the receipt of government benefits be made to do voluntary work so that they give something back to the community?

Many people feel that, long-term job seekers in the receipt of government benefits be made to do voluntary work so that they give something back to the community. I completely agree with this idea. This, not only benefits the society but also adds up a better profile to the job-seeker itself.

Firstly, if job-seekers manage to be at home by getting benefits from the government, they will become more lethargic and in mere future they will become dispassionate in finding the job for which they are eligible. This also makes them feel depressed, sometimes feel guilty for getting free benefits and sometimes become irresponsible not only towards their community but also to their own family. So, it’s is important to any individual to take responsibility and volunteer to the organization.

Secondly, there might be a future risk, if they do not take the ownership to find a long-term job and depend on government benefits. This will not only affect job-seeker, but also the society with increased taxes.
On the other hand, when job-seekers take a step forward and serve their nation they will be benefited in many ways. As a result, that will drastically boost the job seeker’s confidence, as we all know that, “Practice makes man perfect.” They feel contented for getting benefited from government. This will allow them to improve their experience and increase many skills to their profile, which in turn benefits the job-seeker to be exposed to many opportunities he/she wished to choose.

To conclude, I strongly believe that individual satisfaction is more important than getting benefited because the benefits might fill the person’s short-term purpose for living but that can definitely not be the long-term solution for the problem.

Many people feel that long-term job seekers who receive government benefits should be made to do voluntary work so that they give something back to the community. I completely agree with this idea. This not only benefits the society but also creates a better profile for the job-seeker.

Firstly, if job-seekers stay at home while receiving benefits from the government, they will become more lethargic and may lose motivation to find a job for which they are eligible. This also makes them feel depressed, sometimes guilty for getting free benefits, and sometimes become irresponsible not only towards their community but also to their own family. So, it is important for any individual to take responsibility and volunteer.

Secondly, there might be a future risk if they do not take ownership of trying to find a long-term job and instead choose to depend on government benefits. This will not only affect the job-seeker, but also the society with increased taxes.

On the other hand, when job-seekers take a step forward and serve their nation, they will be benefited in many ways. As a result, that will drastically boost the job seeker’s confidence, as we all know that “Practice makes man perfect.”(<--How does this relate to job seeking and volunteering?) They feel like they have earned the government assistance. This will allow them to improve their experience and learn many skills, which, in turn, means the job-seeker will be exposed to many opportunities.

To conclude, I strongly believe that individual satisfaction is more important than getting benefited because the benefits might fill the person’s short-term purpose for living but that can definitely not be the long-term solution for the problem.(<--I don't understand this sentence.)
