Are you spending time with the right crowd? 

When considering your next role, there are two points you need to consider: 

Do the organisations values match your own? 

• The first step is to find out what the company stands for i.e.: it’s mission and vision.  This information can normally be found on their website.  Then decide if this matches your own career goals and the standards that you like to work to.  Think about whether you would be comfortable representing the company and what it stands for. 

Has the organisation been clear of their values during the interview process? 

• During the recruitment process try and find out as much as possible about the history of the organisation including: 

1. Their position in the market 
2. Employee benefits including what they are doing to ensure the physical and mental well-being of their employees 
3. Flexible/remote working policy 
4. Rewards benefits 
5. Career development and support 
6. Company culture and what makes them unique. 

When you are sure that all the above is appealing to you and matches your own professional goals and standards, then you know you have found the right company to help you achieve career success.
