Definition of Job

We understand by job to what is both metaphorically and concretely the space that one occupies in a company, institution or entity developing some type of activity or employment with which it can earn a living since it receives a specific salary or salary for it. The job is also what is offered and what one looks for in the classifieds.

The notion of job perhaps begins in modern history, with the results of the Industrial Revolution and the creation of factories or industries that require unfamiliar or known labor, unlike what happened so far with large workshops or even labor rural. The job is, then, a concept abstract which implies the activity for which one is hired and from which he will receive a salary that has been specifically designated according to effort, number of hours, need for knowledge, the danger what the job entails, etc.

The workplace can also refer to the specific place or space in which the person must carry out their activity, for example a desk in an office, a bar, a mine, etc. In that job, most of the time the person will have to share their time with colleagues or colleagues who will develop the same task and with whom some kind of relationship is likely to be consolidated from

fellowship or solidarity. In any case, there are many jobs that, due to their implications, do not allow the person to establish social ties since they are solitary or indefinite jobs.

At present the notion of job has varied greatly in comparison with other times due to the changes in the needs of jobs that many companies and factories have, as well as the new employment possibilities that arise with means such as Internet.
