Step 3: Classification Essay Revised Draft

Directions: Open your Classification Essay Rough Draft, click on “Tools” or “Review” if you

are using Microsoft Word, and hit “Track Changes.” This is so your instructor can see all the

changes you make. Begin reading through your rough draft and make changes to the content as

you see fit. Add more details to each type, kind or position, if needed or delete irrelevant details

that do not help showing how the parts relate to the whole. Add transitional words or phrases to

help the essay flow in a logical order. Then, save the draft with the changes.

There are many different job skills required for a job, but some skills for a job are more

important for success. It does not matter what job it is. A job whether it be a full-time job

or part-time needs to be done right and given its all, Colossians 3:23-24, “Whatever you do,

work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you

know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ

you are serving.” (New International Version). There are many different job skills that

must should be required, including having a positive work attitude, being a good problem

solver, being self-confident, and time management, but these skills should be more

necessary than the other skillss for success.

Having a positive work attitude is important in any job. It helps to keep everyone in a

better mood to help the day go by with less of a chancesmoother with less chances of

running into problems. Another reason this is important is because if a person was to see an

employee with a negative undesirable attitude, it makes that person and the company

appear badshameless. Also, if someone is treated poorly at work, then it puts them in a

negative mood, which can start a chain reaction and cause problems whichand is bad for

the company. By maintaining a positive attitude, it helps everything to run smoother.

Good problem-solving skills and having good self-confidence go hand in hand with one

another. If a worker is trying to solve a problem, they need to assure themselvesbe

confident that they can solve that problem and be confidenti about their selft and in

themselves. If someone is not confident in their selfthemselves, how is the problem going to

be solved because they are not confident enough? Solving a problem, issue, or just

something that needs to be done at work can be difficult if the person doing the task does

not have confidence in his or herself.

It does not matter the job; time management is critically important. Time management

helps to organize the day with events, tasks, appointments, and deadlines. It helps to keep a

schedule stay on track as well asand on time. Planning is a good way to be on time. If the

day is planned out, and events for the day are organized, it helps to keep from eventually

getting to the point of being being overwhelmed. Whether the job is part-time or full-time,

time management is important, and helps to show that the personshows that you can be

dependable.

For any job given, positive work attitudes, problem-solving and self-confidence, and time

management is something that employers notice and really take into consideration. These

skills can help with getting a raise or promoted if everything is done right if it is good, or it

may end up with trying to find another job because of making poor decisions. Even though

all job skills are necessary and important; having a positive work attitude, good problem-

solving skills and self-confidence, and time management are skills that stick out more thant

the other ones. In Titus 2:7-8 young men are instructed to show integrity and to show honor

and respect, “In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching

show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that

those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.”

(NIV). As more and more people apply forget jobs, depending on the job position and the

place, certain job skills and requirements will change. One thing that will not change is how

each job required skill and requirement is necessary for success.
