What type of job are you looking for?
As an walking reflection of slovenian conditions, I truly do not have the eager to further even apply to a job openning in Slovenia. Although I am proud descendant, I think my chances to live, work and be happy in the end of the day is not an option in our country any more. They are laughing in the faces of youth. The "shell" of our small chicken shaped republic is being presented as a strong, hardworking and culturally marked peace on the Earth, but that is far from the truth. Corruption and manager takeovers are destroying our standard of living. And the world wide crisis has its effect on our instable way of life. The politicians bought the larger firms with many decades of proud results. They spent all the money, borrowed gigantic sums of cash, fired the workers and sold the estate. There are job openings, but there are thousands of replies for such a small county, so normally they tend to hire cheep workforce from other countries, so my only chance is to seek jobs where there are no such impacts. I surely have not presented you the whole "parade" that is going on here, but hopefully enough.

Describe the benefits of working with others
Most benefits you get from working in a group if you work hard, become the missing link as soon as possible an help others if needed. And accept help also. Harmony is the best tool to achieve productivity.
Describe the benefits of working alone
I believe in the benefit of working alone, but it is time consuming. Never the less there are fields that there is not any other way. But at the end of the day, you still depend on others, like it or not. You can think you did something all by yourself, and eat the whole "cake", but the people around you will give you the boost you need to work properly, not the "cake". But in terms of perfection, you sometimes just have to do it by yourself. When your knowledge and anticipations reach a certain peak, others simply are not needed any more, I think. That happens, when you truly master something.
