Share to twitterWhen it comes to looking for a new job, do you find yourself just itching to take whatever you can get? Have you convinced yourself that it’s impossible to know if you’ll truly like a company until you start working there?
The best company for you is a company that aligns with your values, goals and work style, and here are three steps you can take to increase your chances of finding the best company for you in 2020:Before you can find the best company for you, the first step is to get clear on the type of company culture that fits your needs. The easiest way to do that is to think about what you’re missing right now in your current company.
This isn’t an exhaustive list, but these are the type of things you want to consider when thinking about the type of company culture that would best fit your needs and goals. But, don’t just focus on the things that are missing at your current company, evaluate the qualities you do enjoy and would like to have in your next company to ensure you have a full picture of the most important things you need to thrive in your next role.
Plus, when researching, applying and interviewing you should always be asking yourself, “Does it seem like I would enjoy working here?”Recognize that you’re in control of where you go and don’t ignore the signs. Recently, a client told me that now that she realizes the type of company culture she desires, she never would’ve accepted her current position. All the signs were there when she walked into her first in-person interview, but she took the job anyway. Don’t make that mistake.
