8 Job Environments To Consider Before Applying For Jobs

By Nayra Mendoza on March 31, 2016

What is the best work environment for you? Some people can envision themselves working in an office their whole career. Others decide nature is where they produce their best work. Others never want to leave their home, and working from their bed sounds like the ideal work environment.

To decide what the best job environment for you is, here are a few workplaces for several different careers to consider.

The Office

Tidy, maybe even a little antisocial, personalities can work the traditional office space to the best of their abilities. A quiet, designated personal area leads to the best clerical and orderly task assignments.

Some people just like knowing that they have an assigned desk to come work in. Getting up from your chair for a water break may also provide the perfect excuse to socialize with your coworkers.

The Outdoors

Photographers, environmental scientists, and athletes often need some fresh air and natural ambiance.

The pictures you see posted on National Geographic didn’t happen because somebody stayed inside. People risk their lives for the best angle or the most vibrant picture.

Environmentalists and scientists are constantly observing nature’s phenomenons. Special praise goes out to the ones who study dangerous plants, animals, and natural disasters. You’re doing the world a favor by pursuing a career and job environment that not many could handle.

Athletes endure extreme weather. Field players will play in the rain or cold weather and are at a higher risk of injury. The long practices and exercises they prepare for games with are great resistance builders, but I can’t imagine what it’s like running after a soccer ball in negative degree weather! Dedicated fans deserve a round of applause, too.

The Bedroom

I resonate highly with not wanting to leave the house, ever. Journalists, writers, and editors can do their job from a computer anywhere. If you are pursuing an online career, the chances of working from home are pretty high.

Working from your bedroom means not having to change out of your pajamas, not having to leave your pet alone for hours, and not having to waste a good outfit for the same people you see every day.

“But wouldn’t you just procrastinate?”

I see how that can be a concern, but this job environment doesn’t work for everyone. Obviously, you could just go back to bed, maybe watch TV, or literally get up and do anything else. If you’re like me, however, you’ll be able to sit down and zip through your work in one sitting because you can concentrate long enough to get your work done.

The  Workroom

If collaboration and teamwork is your ideal job environment, the workroom is the best place for you. Sitting at a table where anyone else can join in and sit quietly or spark a conversation on a project can really boost teamwork and positive coworker relations.

Being able to engage in transparent and open communication is also a social skill booster. The better you are at talking to your team members about a certain problem or concern, the more practice you will have when it comes to tackling small conversation with strangers.

The Studio

Creative minds that work without fear will be found here. Ranging from musicians to painters to photographers, artists of all sorts will be in the studio putting out their best work.

Personally, I admire people that can create something out of nothing. I’ve seen people work in photo studios and recording studios. You can physically feel the originality and imagination that people exude to capture angles and create bangers.

The Coffee Shop

Writers and authors will most likely excel in a coffee shop. Strangers walking in for some body fuel can inspire writers to create a character they weren’t sure how to develop or even inspire them to a create a new character.

If you’re also a person that likes to work on crunch time, not bringing your laptop charger may help. Relying on a full battery will help you focus on your work and gives you a break to look forward to and recharge.

The fact that you have to travel very little for some coffee is nice, too.

The Hospital

Doctors and nurses deserve a special credit for being society’s healers. The hospital is a tough work environment that takes many years of development, knowledge, and hands-on practice to prepare for.

It is the work environment that only the empathetic and strong can endure. Sleepless nights due to long shifts and surgeries, exposure to illness, and stressful cases can take a toll on a person’s heart and well-being. These are just a few of the reasons that the medical field is understaffed.

On The Go

The mobile age is only getting better. Being able to work from literally anywhere is something very appealing to younger generations. We the people who grew up with cellphones and laptops are taking advantage of the accessibility that mobile devices provide to get work done.

Whatever you decide to do, make sure that you can also see yourself working in that job environment. Many times, all it takes is an internship in that field to help you decide where you fit best.
