Jobs - 8 Signs That You Are About to ...
When you are hungry and desperate for an opportunity you sometimes lose common sense and accept job offers you should sometimes reject on the simple basis of a lack of professionalism. Whilst recruiting organizations would always want to impress you so that you have a good first impression about them, some miss the opportunity completely to make an impression. The signs are usually there that point to a level of professionalism or the lack of it, but you condition may choose to overlook. I share some of my observations about how you can tell that you shouldn't work for that particular organization.
1. You received a poor reception when you attended the interview and the reception staff were not even expecting you. It's a sign of poor communication.
2. Interviewer does not respect your time and prioritizes other things and either doesn't show up or keeps you waiting. He postpones your appointment many times and you played along because you were desperate.
3. They insist on bureaucratic process that does not add any value to you or the overall performance of the company. Decisions take too much time and you can feel it as an outsider.
4. They exaggerate the results and performance of the company in order to make you believe that you will be making a wise choice by joining them.
5. An unprofessional company will unilaterally alter the terms and conditions you agreed in the interview on the offer letter. When this happens you may want to request a further interview to understand the situation or run as far away and as fast as you can from that organization.
6. There is a discrepancy between what you agreed to (in terms of perks and benefits) and what you are receiving on the job and there seems to be no effort being made to address them.
7. There is an insistence by your employer to spend most of your time to the job, thereby giving you no time to develop yourself, family - time and time to do other things. You have become a resource and they seem to forget that you are a person and also need to maintain a life outside work.
8. There is little evidence of top management "walking the talk" in terms of business ethics, valuing employees and customers.
I know this advice may not really be well received by someone who has been out of a job for a long period of time, but to the one who is moving from a job in which he is happy; there is need to be diligent and circumspect.
