Thorough candidate screening and evaluation by Watkins & Associates
Finding a job is just like dating. You can easily go online and search for a match for your first date. However, what will happen after that? The things that will happen afterward are what matters the most. Will your first date or first interview transpire into a long-term relationship? Or will it be a failure?

Finding a job will require some hard work. Actually, it is not just about finding any job. It is essential that you find the right job, a job that is suitable for you at the moment as well as for the future. This job could either be your stepping stone for your future career or this could be the opportunity that you’ve been waiting for.

This could be a job that can make you feel comfortable for a long period of time. However, if it is the wrong job, then it is likely you will have to start searching for the right job all over again. Aside from being a stressful ordeal, you don’t want to be considered as a job hopper when employers will read your resume.

Job searching can be time-consuming and require quite a bit of hard work. Sometimes it even gets harder if the position does not work out and you need to quit your job or worse, you end up getting fired. That is why it is best to spend your time getting the right job at the start of your job hunting. Here are some tips that can help you find a job that you will love.

Make a Match

Before you even start doing your job search, you have to make sure that you are searching for the right job. If you are not confident about what you would like to do, then you can take a career quiz so you can get some ideas. You could also consider getting a career coach or some counseling in order to ensure that you are on the right track. By using job search engines, you can quickly find jobs that will match your experience, skills, and interests.

Gather Information

Don’t just apply for the job, try to go further. Use your accounts on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and other networking sites to find out if there is someone that you know at the company. You could get some insights and information about the company from these people. You could also ask them about the specifics of the job position. If you have the credentials and they are comfortable doing so, they can even provide you with a recommendation for the position. If you want to know more about the company, then you can visit the company’s LinkedIn page and other social media sites.

The Interview Works Both Ways

Interviewing the company is just as important as them interviewing you. You have to prepare yourself to answer their interview questions. At the same time, you should also make sure to prepare some interview questions to ask. If you are not completely sure about the job offer, then you can ask for some time if you need to think it over. Also, if you have not met the team that you will be working with, it is perfectly fine to ask if you can meet your future team.

Investigate the Company Culture

The job seems great, but do you really want to work for this company? Do you think that they are very casual or very formal? How about the organization structure? Are there opportunities for career advancement? You need to spend some time reading about employees’ comments about the company.

Ensure the Job Is a Good Fit

Aside from making sure that you are interested in working for this company, you must also carefully assess the job offer. Are you truly interested in this job? Are you going to be happy with this job? Is it going to improve your career? Can it provide you with flexibility or work and life balance? Are they giving you the salary that you expect? If not, can you negotiate for a higher salary? Will they give you sufficient benefits for your needs? Are you comfortable with the work schedule? If you are having some doubts about the job or the salary, then you have to think carefully before you accept the offer.

Obviously, not all jobs work out perfectly even if you want to do everything you can. However, it is possible that you can get a perfect match if you will be careful in every step of the job search process.
