What You Should Look For In A New Job by Dongibzy(m): 2:14pm On Oct 04, 2014
Do you need a new job? Then i know by now you must have a dream of the kind of job you want. Although it is good to dream but you should think first of the things that made you quit your previous job. or were you fired?

In our Country today finding a new job can be difficult, but it is more than possible for you to do so. Here are some things that you should look out for in a new job.

First, How long will you be working....

DO you intend to get a long time job? Long-term positions are ideal if you are looking to quit your current, stable job. They are also ideal if you rely on your income to help support your family. You will want to have and possibly need to have income not only right away, but income that you can rely on for months or years to come. That is why temporary positions may not be in your best interest, as a job that only lasts one or two months may be unable to provide you with the security that you want and need. so make sure that the work is a long term job.

How will the company perceive the service you will be providing to?

This is where many fail, if you are going to provide a service that the company do not really need; or a service that they can discard you anytime and replace then i will advice you to look for a new option.

How about the pay?

Good, but realistic pay is something else that you should look for in a new job. Unless you are sure, you may want to try and refrain from taking a pay cut. If you are able to receive additional benefits that you currently do not have, a pay cut may be worth it, but it is advised that you proceed with caution. Before you search for a new job, you create a budget for yourself. A budget can help you determine how much money you need to make. This will ensure that you are able to find a new job that allows you to adequately pay your bills and support your family.

Where is the company?

It is high time you understand that life is not all about money. The location of the company is another feature that you should consider in a new job. many can be willing to travel or relocate just because of a job, but you should take your possible commute into consideration. Jobs that are a ways away from your home may require extra travel time, possibly taking you away from your family. DOn't be a workaholic.

Although location should be taken into consideration, you should remember that there are other, more important, features that you should look for in a new job, a few of which were outlined above.
