| What we are
talking about here… |
| So you have decided to let someone
else pay you (as opposed to starting your own business).
That is good – they will hopefully train you, give
you the opportunities you seek and allow you to develop
in those areas you want to. |
| Why it is important… |
| It may sound obvious – but not
every employer has your needs at the top of their list – they
may well have their needs first – which means you
may end up doing something you do not enjoy. |
| What you need
to know… |
Here are just some of the things you
need to think about:
- How long has this organisation been in existence – what
is their track record of success
- What sort of culture has it got – aggressive,
meritocratic "you're as good as your last result", "mistakes
cost", excellent or archaic, not up with the times
at all, in need of a major sort out – or somewhere
in between?
- What is it like to work there – talk to someone
of your own age and experience there.
- Do they have a plan for developing you over the
next 1 – 3 years at least?
In other words – don't let some smooth talking executive
con you into a lousy job you will want to get out of in
two months time! |
| The next steps... |
| Start looking! |
