Choosing the right fit can be challenging, but with a little more preparation, you can find a good fit for you. Check out my top five tips on how to do it!
1. Do your research: Learn as much as you can about the company, their values, your job duties and what is expected of you.
2. Know yourself: Complete self assessments, list your passions, work values, goals, and learn which industry is a best fit for you and keep dreaming! Know that in reality, you may not be able to get what you want right away, but start off with defining needs versus wants. There are many ways to work your passions into your work.
3. Ask the right questions: Don't just ask questions about the information provided to you, but ask questions about what is not provided. This could be questions related to the work environment, the supervisor's management style, challenges on the job, etc.
4. Talk to people who know you well: Be sure to stay connected with people who know you well, and can provide needed support when making tough decisions.
5. Be sure to make decisions when you are even keeled. Be sure to not make decisions just because there is a bump in the road. You are more likely to find a better fit when you are not in a desperate place and are willing to stick out your current role until the better opportunity arrives.
Hope this helps!!
All the best,
