As
a result, you have to determine: what persona and
job-related factors
as well as a job and
company
fit with what you feel comfortable.
What factors in
your experience and expertise make you most comfortable, for example,
*
What are your most useful organizational skills?
* To what degree are you people-oriented or data-oriented?
* Which of your strengths or attributes do you really want to use?
What factors
in a job and
company make you most comfortable, for example,
*
Big company or small company?
* Regular hours or hours as needed?
* Specific skilled area or generalist?
* Structure or little structure?
* Static or trendy company
* Start-up or well-established company.
What
job factors you highly value for your self and lifestyle,
for example,
*
Risk-taking or security?
* Regular
pay or stock?
* Relocation or permanency?
* Opportunity for rapid promotion or slow but steady promotion?
* Increasing responsibility or static responsibility
* Presentation and interaction or minimal speaking publicly.
These
are only a few of the many factors you need to
determine and consider.
Why
do you need to bother?
For
you to make the most of the job and its opportunities you need to
decide
1. What you want
2. What you
don't want
3. What fits you best.
For
you to make the most of the job and its opportunities
you also have to have a sense of the job's future
impact on you.
Most of us have only an inkling of what
these things may be. As a result, we rush headlong
into what looks good only to start feeling a
gnawing sensation that some- thing's not right.
For
example, you
hadn't thought about how you'd feel if asked to take
over leadership on a moment's notice in a fast-paced
environment. You hadn't thought how the long hours and
possible weekends might affect your time with loved
ones
or pastimes.
Once
you've gone through all the time, effort, and agony of
the job-getting
process, you don't want to finally get
something only to find it doesn't fit you in
the most
basic of ways. Granted,
nothing is going to be "perfect," but
you don't want it to grate or be unsatisfying or
make you hate going to work.
*
You need to remove as many of the negatives ahead of
time as possible.
* You need to know where the
compromises are likely to occur.
* You need to know what compromises are acceptable,
what are not, and where you're willing to make
sacrifices to achieve both your job and personal goals.
The
object is to give you the greatest amount of control
in this important
evaluation process—control over what you
want and how your wants match
what you have and what's available.
YOU
are the one to make the decision of what is more
likely to work for you in as many respects as
possible.
"What
Are You Really Looking For in a Job?" is
a 18-page pdf course which discusses and guides you on
*
What you bring to the process
* What your preferences are
* Your job-related
values
* Their potential impact on you
* General areas of concern
* Pros and cons of each.
It
then takes you through a series of comprehensive
assessments to help make
you aware of what you have, the values you
hold personally for your lifestyle and job, as well as
what you will need and want to consider in your
overall job-getting process.
