 Whether you are a college graduate or an experienced worker, if you are in
search for a job you should make sure that it’s the right
fit for you. A few years ago, I was in search of my first internship because it
was coming close to junior year of college and I had yet to have any type of
professional experience. Along with wanting an internship that offered
professional growth, I also wanted do advance my skills, not to mention, I
needed a job so that I could pay my bills. After several interviews, I ended up
getting a marketing internship with a home improvement company. Without doing enough
research, I went into the interview talking about my skills more than asking
about how I would fit in with the company. Because of that, I found myself
spending four months in a company that I wasn’t a good fit for, culturally,
which led to me having a bad experience. From that experience, I learned that I
should’ve done more homework and asked better questions before I accepted the position. Here are a few ways that you can make sure
that your next opportunity is the one for you.
-
Research
the company. You want to research the company’s mission and the internship
program. A job title might sound nice but if you are working for a purpose that
you don’t believe in, you won’t enjoy it. My job title was a Marketing intern
but the actual job duties assigned resembled more of an office assistant. I
made the most out of the situation but I should have researched the company and
job more before accepting the position.
-
Look up
current coworkers to explore what the environment is like and explore first
hand, where you will be working. LinkedIn is a good place to start. You can
search the people who work for that particular location and ask them about
their experience with the company.
-
Look up company
reviews on websites like Glassdoor and salary.com and understand the
troubles of the companies and if the company responds to the review, evaluate
what they say. Usually if a company responds to the review, you can determine
how the attitudes are and if they believe in taking accountability or
apologizing.
-
Look at
the Social Media profiles to explore how interactive they are and the
personality that they present. If the company isn’t posting a variety of
material or engaging with their customers, this can mean that they don’t value
their clientele.
-
Ask in
depth questions about the company’s culture at the end of the interview.
Whenever recruiters give you the okay to ask them any questions via email, you
take advantage of this.
Everyone needs income but you want to be intentional with making your
experience a good one. If you are a job seeker who is interested in obtaining
an internship, or finding full-time or part-time work, I recommend starting your job search by visiting www://jobs.mitalent.org. The right job fit is so important, and I can't overstate that enough. Don't forget to do your homework, take it from me, you’ll be glad you
did.
