1. Consider the two jobs described below and answer the questions in the table to help you

compare and contrast their pros and cons. (20 points)
Job A. This job involves writing advertisements and creating art to go along with the text. It pays
well, though advancing in this field takes many years. The employer tells you that you are likely to
work a lot of overtime hours. The office is located far across town, involving a long bus ride or
drive. The people at the office seem very nice. The work atmosphere is formal, as is the dress
code.
Job B. This job involves filling out and filing paperwork. The entry-level pay is low, but there are
many opportunities within the company. The employer tells you that the company prefers to
"promote from within," or fill vacant jobs by promoting people who already work at the company.
The building is a short bus ride, bike ride, or walk from where you live. The people at the office are
friendly and helpful, and the whole office has a casual atmosphere.

Job A:

Pros:
