Over the next four weeks, we will be looking at the four stages of getting that dream job.
Each stage will provide you with a clear direction of the actions that you need to take and things to consider.
Stage 1:
Write your wish list and prioritise what you want :
i) Scrutinise the jobs you’ve had – what have you enjoyed the most? Make a list.
ii) Do you prefer larger organisations or smaller concerns, why? benefits? pitfalls?
iii) Salary and benefits package
- What are you looking for, is it realistic – how will the tax threshold affect this
- Benefits – What is important for you?
- Holidays
- Flexible holiday scheme?
- Pension
- Parking
- Gym membership
- Flexible hours
- Nursery support
- Paid training
- Other
iv) Location – travel – travel with role?
v) Do you enjoy working as part of a team
- Do you enjoy supervising and training staff
- What motivates you to excel
- What kind of a boss do you need to fulfil your potential
Write your list, placing in order what you are looking for the most, down to what you might be prepared to negotiate or go without
