Everyone knows that job-hunting can be a stressful experience whether you are still employed and looking for a new challenge, or have been unemployed forever and starting to think it will never happen.
And then, even when you find a job that seems perfect, there are still doubts in your mind. It almost seems too good to be true, or you worry that you are not fully qualified and you will soon be found out. Getting a job should be an exciting time in your life, which is why it’s important to know how to confirm the career is right for you.
It Pays You What You Deserve
If you don’t feel your current job is paying you enough to keep up with inflation, finding a better-paying role is one of the best ways to get around this. However, even this is easier said than done, so you must make sure that the offered salary reflects your experience and qualifications.
The role should offer more money than what you’re currently earning, and there should also be bonuses to sweeten the deal further, including signing bonuses and the promise of a yearly wage. If this matches your situation, you have an early sign that this could be the perfect job for you.
It Matches Your Values
Many jobs can force people to choose between living comfortably and sticking to their values, but it shouldn’t be like this. It should not be too much to ask that a position accurately reflects your values, whatever these values might be.
If you are passionate about the environment, social justice, or making a difference, you should be able to find evidence of these values within the role. You can ask the interviewer how the company achieves these values to consider whether you’re making the right choice.
It Is a Safe Place to Work
Safety at the workplace is essential regardless of what you do. It doesn’t matter if you work in construction or an office; you should have the support and security to come into work every day without feeling like you’re at risk.
Some companies will have an injury lawyer on retainer to help you deal with any issues or accidents you encounter while on the clock. This is especially useful if you travel for work regularly. Even though you are out of the office, you still need the promise that you are protected in case of an accident.
It Will Not Consume Your Life
The work-life balance has been emphasized over the past several years. Employees have realized that there is no genuine benefit to working themselves into a hole.
While some people love to work as much as possible, this comes at a price. A role that still allows you to maintain a healthy work-life balance should always be considered, as it will benefit your mental and physical well-being, as well as your performance.
The Right Move
Changing roles or careers can be scary, but it is natural to feel a little nervous when you start a new job. If you consider these factors, you guarantee that the job you accepted is perfect for you, and it will benefit your finances and health in ways your previous role could never match.
