Nowadays, getting an appropriate job is very difficult. However, where to work in a particular occupation also gains concern of many people. Some want to work for a very large company while others prefer working for a small company where they know all of their colleagues. In my opinion, I support to the former idea for several reasons.
First of all, a large company is often a company with the large scale, huge capital and professional operation. This means that its employees will good and comfortable working conditions. In fact, working in large companies brings us more opportunities to develop ourselves because those companies are properly international corporations or transnational enterprises. If we work for those companies, we can do business with other famous business partners in many important projects. Thus, it helps us to accumulate valuable experience as well as harmonize in the global economy more effectively.
Furthermore, working for a company that has several hundred employees is a good chance to meet and make friends with new people who may have same interests. That makes the work more exciting and a little new when we feel that the there are a lot of thins about the company we have not discovered. Also, we can learn a lot from those employees because most of excellent and skillful people often work for large companies. Another advantage of working for a large company is that we can improve ourselves as much as possible. In fact, the more employees the company has, the harsher competitions we have to face with. By that way, employees must develop our skills or expose all the potentials in order not to be out of work. Thus, we will be more confident and successful.
In conclusion, I think it is more benefits for working people to getting to get a job in a large company because of above reasons. We properly encounter with more obstacles and challenges but we will have more chances to success and improve ourselves.
I think there are a lot of mistakes that I do not realize in this piece of writing, can you guys help me to check it? |

Nowadays, getting an appropriate job is very difficult. However, where to work in a particular occupation also gains concern of many people. Some[some what? apples,I would suggest to use either some of them or some people] want to work for a very large company while others prefer working for a small company where they[my opinion is to use would when you are making a statement because it may not be like you think it is] know all of their colleagues[ or all colleagues will know each other]. In my opinion, I support to the former idea for several reasons[which is?/ be more clear,remember this is your thesis, make it understandable like I support the idea... or I prefer to work/ I think working....and it is good to say briefly why you support that idea for example: I prefer .... because of several reasons. and now you have a good connection to your main body ]
First of all, a large company is often a company with [the= dont need the but you definitely need a infront of large scale ]] large scale, huge capital and professional operation. This means that its employees [will good]= I cannot understand the meanning] and comfortable working conditions. In fact, working [in=for] large companies brings [us= try to avoid we,us,] more opportunities [to develop ourselves]= of developing sounds better] because those companies are [properly dont use the same word so many times= usually] international corporations or transnational enterprises. If [we= who are you?] work for those companies, we can do business with other famous business partners in many important projects. Thus, it helps us to accumulate valuable experience as well as TO harmonize in the global economy more effectively.
Furthermore, working for a company that has [several hundred= a large amount of] employees is a good chance to meet and make friends with new people who may have THE same interests=[or similar interests sounds even better]. That makes [the work= why not =daily working] more exciting and a little new when we feel that [the] there are a lot of thins about the company we have not discovered. Also, [we can learn a lot from= exchange experience and information with other emploees] those employees because THE most [of= without OF] excellent and skillful people often work for large companies. Another advantage of working for a large company is that we can improve ourselves as much as possible. In fact, the more employees the company has, the harsher competition[s] we have to face with. By that way, [employees must develop our= employees or employers and if employers-why do they have to do it?] skills or expose all the potentials in order not to be out of work.= try to clear this sentence. Thus, we will be more confident and successful.
In conclusion, I think THAT it is more benefits= beneficial [for= without for] [working= we know they are working people otherwise you wont talk about them ] people to get[ting] a job in a large company[ than...?] because [All] of [the] above reasons. We [will or would] properly encounter with more obstacles and challenges but we will have more chances to success=suceed and [improve ourselves= use develop or advance].

Nowadays, getting an appropriate job is very difficult. However, where to work in a particular occupation also gains concern of many people. Some people want to work for a very large company while others prefer working for a small company where all colleagues will know each other. In my opinion, I support the idea of working for a large company..
First of all, a large company is often the company with a large scale, huge capital and professional operation. This means that its employees will have good and comfortable working conditions. In fact, working for large companies brings us more opportunities of developing ourselves because those companies are usually international corporations or transnational enterprises. If we work for those companies, we can do business with other famous business partners in many important projects. Thus, it helps us to accumulate valuable experience as well as to harmonize in the global economy more effectively.
Furthermore, working for a company that has a large amount of employees is a good chance to meet and make friends with new people who may have similar interests. That makes daily working more exciting and a little new when we feel that there are a lot of things about the company we have not discovered. Also, we can exchange experience and information with those employees because the most excellent and skillful people often work for large companies. Another advantage of working for a large company is that we can improve ourselves as much as possible. In fact, the more employees the company has, the harsher competition we have to face with. As better employees will be treated well while others who can not show their important uses will be sacked, all of them must develop their skills and expose all the potentials in order not to be out of work. Thus, we will be more confident and successful.
In conclusion, I think it is more beneficial to get a job in a large company because all of the above reasons. We will properly encounter with more obstacles and challenges but we will have more chances to succeed and develop ourselves.
Does it sound better? I've just rewrited the essay following Silviya's suggestions. However, somewhere I uesd the words 'we,us', I don't know how to find more appropriate words. Can you help me ? |

First of all, a large company is often [the=a] company with a large scale, huge capital and professional operation. This means that its employees will have good and comfortable working conditions.[you can explain,what are these good and comfortable conditions in order to make your statements stronger] In fact, working for large companies brings [us= withouth us,only brings] more opportunities of developing [ourselves= omit ourselves] because those companies are usually international corporations or transnational enterprises. [If we work=working for] for those companies, [we=omit and replace with could give a chance for their employees to do...] can do business with other famous business partners in many important projects. Thus, it helps [us=omit/them] to accumulate valuable experience as well as to harmonize in the global economy more effectively.
Furthermore, working for a company that has a large amount of employees is a good chance to meet and make friends with new people who may have similar interests. That makes daily working more exciting and a little new when we feel that there are a lot of things about the company we have not discovered.

In fact, the more employees the company has, the harsher competition [we=they] have to face with. [As better employees will be treated well while others who can not show their important uses will be sacked=I do not like this sentence, it is not clear and understandable in english], all of them must develop their skills and expose all the potentials in order not to be out of work. Thus, we will be more confident and successful.
In conclusion, I think it is more beneficial to get a job in a large company because all of the above reasons. We will properly encounter with more obstacles and challenges but we will have more chances to succeed and develop ourselves.
