Question

Directions: Analyze the scenario or situation and answer the questions.

Gael, an 18-year-old senior high school student, works at Walmart as a bagger from 4 pm to 9 pm. He works for 5 hours and receives an hourly pay of 13 dollars. Gael takes UBER every day going to work. He also spends 150 dollars per week on his transportation. One day, when he was on his way to school, he noticed a job opening at TACO BELL, and it is closer to his school. If you were Gael, would you consider applying for this job and leaving WALMART? If yes, what are the things you need to consider before making a decision? Why?

Answer 1

Answer: There are a lot of thing for Gael to think of in this scenario, does he like the job at Walmart? Does he hate having to travel too far? Or just simply because that it is too inconvenience for him? If he does, then he should consider changing workplace since that would be the best for him. There are a lot factors to be taken into account like, fee for day to day transportation after leaving, the chance of getting the job or just simply as living expense. And as someone who used to schedule 3 interviews a week and still didn't hear anything from the employers, I would definitely suggest Gael to apply for the job and see if he performed great enough on the interview then make his decision to leave or stays. Living expense can also be troublesome if he doesn't live with parents and having to pay for all of those, therefore, Gael should prepared a plan for every scenario he could faces, from lower living expense or changing his working schedule.
