Getting the right job does not happen out of luck. It is a product of sound and well thought out preparation, keeping these factors in mind:
Job Content or work content is more important than compensation, especially for a new job. If you truly like the work it would be easier to excel.
Type of Company If you prefer to be employ, consider which industries are the most stable and fast growing. These are most likely the best employers. They would presumably be able to offer the better wage levels, more relevant skills and management training, and possibly the broadest range of short-term and long-term opportunities.
Understand the company’s goals and the type of employee it values. Know their personnel policies with respect to organizational development. Ask about opportunities to move up. You can then assess whether you would fall into these categories.
Compensation Package You must have some idea of the salary being offered for the job you apply for. Ask others who work in the same field or get information from a recruiter. Analyze their system for performance reviews and pay increases. Sometimes the salary you are offered is less than what you expected. But if the company takes good care of performers and you believe you will be a good performer you can take the chance of initially taking the lower pay.
Personal issue. Work hours and travel time are important considerations. Compute the costs related to taking the job. Make a projected Personal Income statement and expenses statement focusing carefully on the extra expenses the job might entail. Check the work environment.
Decision and negotiation. When you are offered the job, coming down with to a decision is the most difficult tasks. Put highest priority on work content, potential for development and the possibility for future entrepreneurial opportunities. Be clear about what you want when you negotiate. Explains that you truly like the job but you have personal issues to address. If your issues can be address, then you will definitely take the job.
Always keep in mind your personal financial plan, budget, and savings and investment plan. These tools will guide you towards a better future.
