Description

Ever want to dig into how a company actually operates? As in, how they truly behave? That’d be a good thing to do if you’re job interviewing, I’d think. You don’t want to be joining a company you won’t like! First question: Do you even know what kind of culture works for you? Let’s say you do. Can you get over your freshly-inflicted bruises that tend to shine overly-bright lights on recent issues at the expense of investigating all the other cultural traits you want? You know what I mean… I want to make sure they don’t work me too hard. My last company did that. You become myopic on this issue to find that, yes, in fact, this new employer of yours doesn’t require you to work too hard. Except, after you start working there, you discover they are very political, confused, generally don’t have a good strategy, or high employee satisfaction. Second and third questions conflated: Do you know WHAT questions to ask and HOW to ask them so you are actually getting evidence of their behavior? Fourth question: And how to do this without incriminating yourself?  As in, if I ask about work like balance, they’ll think I don’t work hard. Etc. Etc. and Ha and ha. Okay. I can practically hear you wiping the sweat off your eye brows. Let’s get to it and get you some questions and answers… If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings: 1.
