Things You Should Look Out For Before Taking A Job At A Company by Encoredme(m): 1:32pm On Oct 19, 2021 |
When you want to take a new job, there are many things you are not sure about. Is this a good place to work? Will you be making the right decision leaving your current job to take this? What is the culture like? The list goes on. How do you know which company will fit your idea of a good workplace? That's where doing some background research about the company comes in. Here are five things to look out for at a company you're considering: 1. You can get a feel for the culture When you read reviews about your potential new employer, you will be able to get an idea of what it is like working there. This is especially true if they are not good reviews. If people are complaining about poor management, it is probably not the place for you. 2. You can find out if there are any job-hopping employees If people are leaving after a short time at their new jobs, this might be an indicator that the company is not a good fit for you. 3. You can find out if there are any disgruntled employees If people have left their previous jobs because of bad management, this might be an indicator that your new job will be the same. 4. You can find out if the company is hiring If they often have a lot of job openings, this might be an indicator that you should not apply to work there. It might be that there are a lot of disgruntled employees who got tired and are deciding to leave their jobs for better opportunities. You might end up in the same situation if you don't do your research well. 5. You can get a feel for how management treats its employees This is especially true if you are applying for a management position. You will want to avoid working for a company that has bad reviews from their employees. These five reasons should be enough to convince you of the importance of doing some background research about your potential new employer.

This is workable in a country in which her employment opportunities are higher. Not naija that people want to start working just to go out in the morning and come back wen others are coming. ......makes me remember a chemist man then, he always put advert for salesgirl and for those employed, hardly they would spend 3 months. ... After employment he would date the girl and when he tired he would pursue her and look for another one. Using one small chemist shop to sleep with random girls 23 Likes 2 Shares |

Good points, but how many can you find out before you take up the offer? How would you know if staff are disgruntled, or job hopping? How would you know how management treat the staff? 1 Like |

4. You can find out if the company is hiring If they often have a lot of job openings, this might be an indicator that you should not apply to work there. It might be that there are a lot of disgruntled employees who got tired and are deciding to leave their jobs for better opportunities. You might end up in the same situation if you don't do your research well This is very important. There is a coy I see on LinkedIn.. Oxford something something. Always recruiting for marketers every week. And you see frustrated chaps applying. Common sense should tell you it's a GNLD variant. 1 Like |

Two things i want you to enquire about before accepting a job offer especially if you have an option ; 1. Does the company have a career path ? If i join as an entry level person, in 5, 10 years where can i be potentially. The answer you get, is that what the people in there are experiencing? There are places where you can spend 6 years and nobody is mentioning anything to anybody about promotion. once in a while somebody will add 10k to your salary and that is all the raise or promotion, that kind of a place is deadly. 2. Pension funds. How do they treat their pension, do they have gratuity plan in addition to the statutory pension? Do they promptly remit the pension deducted from staff salaries ? A number of private companies and almost all government agencies only deduct and never remit their staff pension fund. If you are young, the issue of pension fund may not sound to you as important, but believe you me if you don't put into consideration now, you will regret it later. 3 Likes 1 Share |
